From Katie Rhodes Photography… A European wedding at home in the United States while our flights are grounded by COVID-19. This inspiration was for brides with romantic hearts and an originally intended destination wedding across the seas. A romantic “European” wedding is possible at home in the United States.
From the chateau venue itself sitting just off the water to the French beverage during cocktail hour, we pieced together details to serve brides local to the states who had planned on getting married in France. The unique boxed-invitation suites with hand painted artwork and personalized royal-style monogram showcases more romance just like the city of love itself. When time to be seated, guests enjoy a personal wedding cake also indicating a seat saved for them.
To tie in to France, the bride and guests relish a French 75 while the Groom’s choice of drink is a Sidecar, nodding to his vintage Rolls Royce in which the couple drives off.
Despite the idea of “small” for a micro wedding during the Coronavirus pandemic, this bride goes all out with three wedding dresses, each for a portion of her day.
