A Multicultural Wedding at Château de Changy in the Loire Valley

Nouara and Alexandre celebrated their wedding at Château de Changy, a historic wedding estate south of Paris in the Loire Valley known for its sweeping gardens and sculptural installations. Their story began online through mutual friends, and what followed was a celebration that brought together love, culture, and creativity. The Loire Valley wedding château’s tree-lined lawns and open terraces set the scene for an outdoor ceremony framed by oversize LOVE letters among the greenery. Guests arrived from near and far to share a weekend filled with colour, music, and laughter, while the North of France countryside offered an easy, relaxed rhythm for everyone gathered.

LOVE Letters and a Garden Ceremony

With planner Agathe from Wedding Paris, an experienced wedding planner in the Loire Valley, Nouara brought her vision to life through a series of detailed touches that reflected both her personality and the couple’s shared roots. The ceremony took place outdoors beneath the trees, where large white sculptures and the iconic LOVE sign stood as part of the landscape. Guests settled in with views across the gardens, surrounded by flowers and gentle summer light. After vows were exchanged, the celebration moved toward dining and dancing within the château grounds, with the focus on joy, movement, and shared connection under open sky.

A Weekend Celebration with Poolside Farewell

Rather than ending with a single day, Nouara and Alexandre extended their celebration into Sunday, hosting a relaxed brunch and pool party for their guests. A vintage red food truck added a touch of fun and French flair, serving casual fare as music drifted over the lawns. Photographer Sonja and Alex Tome, among the most sought-after wedding photographers in the Loire Valley, captured each transition with natural energy and warmth - from vows beneath the sculptures to the couple’s playful “trash the dress” finale in the pool. It was a weekend that perfectly reflected their story: full of heart, laughter, and easy togetherness.
