I’m betting the thought of eloping has crossed your mind a time or two—I totally considered it! And if I had done it, this is the exact scene I would have dreamed of. A charming chateau in France, a simply elegant tablescape and loads of blooms. Crafted by Firefly Events and Wanderlust Wedding, for Sylvie Gil‘s annual workshop, there’s plenty of inspiration for the taking—right here.
From Teissa at Firefly Events… Our bride and groom met at a secret black tie masquerade ball in Burgundy. They saw each other from across the room and were instantly drawn to one another. They spent the rest of the evening together and decided then and there to elope. They snuck away to a nearby abandoned chateau and tied the knot just the two of them. The next day they sent word to a few of their closest friends to join them in an intimate celebration. Sylvie’s yearly workshop is a fine art photography retreat in a luxurious 18th century Chateau in Burgundy, France. This year she hosted seventeen photographers for one week of intensive, hands-on styling workshops, business classes, and photography practice with industry experts.
