[section title=”The Planning”]

[field title=”The Inspiration”]Max Owens, renowned for her ethereal floral designs, transformed the chateau’s interiors into a floral wonderland. Her artistry infused every corner with vibrant blooms and delicate arrangements, creating a dreamlike ambiance that perfectly complemented the chateau’s medieval charm. [/field]

[field title=”Wedding Colors”]The organic fusion of whites, purples and oranges in the palette blended beautifully with the grand beauty of the setting. The juxtaposition of the chateau’s historic stone walls and the lush, modern floral designs resulted in a visual feast for the senses.[/field]

[field title=”The Venue”]Nestled in the picturesque countryside of Gourdourville, France, the enchanting Chateau de Gourdourville served as the perfect backdrop for a breathtakingly whimsical photoshoot hosted by Develope Academy. Constructed in 1081, the chateau’s rich history and timeless elegance provided an unparalleled canvas for the creative vision brought to life by the talented team from Dallas, Texas.[/field]

[section title=”The Details”]

[field title=”Florals & Decor”]Organic and whimsical as you will see the florals were truly out of this world and all sourced locally. It was incredible to see Max work her magic.[/field]

[field title=”Favorite Design Element”]The florals and the chateau itself. It’s a historical monument in France. It was built in 1081—like…..nearly A THOUSAND YEARS AGO. But, even though the castle was built in 1081, this land was also the site of an abbey from the NINTH CENTURY!!! In 1745, the castle underwent a huge restoration, so much of what you see today is thanks to those efforts. The spiral staircase was built during the Renaissance. [/field]

[field title=”Tips To Pull Off The Look”]This is proof that bringing your dream team anywhere in the world is possible when the team is so talented. The journey from Dallas to Gourdourville was an adventure in itself, with the team traveling across continents to bring their vision to life was incredible.[/field]

[field title=”DIY Moments”]The collaboration between Develope Academy and Max Owens showcased the power of creativity and the beauty that can be achieved when passionate individuals come together. As a participant I actually took part in creating some of the floral table pieces and see it all come alive.[/field]
