A romantic, carb-filled picnic by the stream, a stroll through the charming Courtomer streets and an all-white welcome party at a jaw-dropping chateau complete with the most delicious french cuisine… talk about the perfect recipe for an unforgettable destination weekend. Whether you’re celebrating an engagement or your big day, allow today’s french fête to inspire you, with images from Lauren Fair and Julie Paisley, and design by Oleander.
From Lauren Fair Photography… The inspiration for Rebecca + Mark’s engagement session + engagement dinner was inspired by A Chic Weekend away from Paris, Market Strolling, Cafe and Normandy Cider / Countryside Picnic.
We also pulled inspiration from Ralph Lauren… We pictured Town & Country with a French Twist, giving our sweet real couple a delicious picnic full of local Normandy cider, apples, and French breads and cheese.
Following the shoot, we hosted a welcome party at our workshop continuing the theme and pulling in local veggies, an all white color palette and delicious French cuisine to celebrate!
