A magical Autumnal Wedding in a French Chateau

An American Autumnal wedding in the French chateau in the Pyrenees, South West of France. A wedding planned and photographed by Clémentine and Mark from Awardweddings.

In the foothills of the Pyrenees, October 2024, a beautiful couple from New York celebrated their wedding with their nearest and dearest, in this gorgeous French chateau.

The details

We love the vintage details that the bride had gathered, and especially the gorgeous postcards that she used as place settings for dinner.

The ceremony

Imagine an intimate candlelit ceremony by the fire place in a chateau salon....

Outdoor cocktail reception

The couple and guests enjoyed canapes and drinks outside the chateau, enjoying the grounds and beautful October weather. We love their group photos, and the fabulous looking bridal party!

The couple shoot took place on the grounds of the chateau offering a beautiful backdrop...

A beautiful French Chateau dinner...

Being in October, with the temperatures falling down a bit at night, dinner took place in the chateau barn. The back wall was decorated with string of flowers. The ceiling and old beams were dressed with a long draping and a couple of gorgeous chandeliers. The table scape was made of central runners in shades of green and burnt orange, and garlands of foliage and flowers. Brass candlesticks came to complement the decorations. The plates, glasses and cutlery were vintage, which went perfectly with the stationery.

We loved the cake and oh, it was so tasty!!

The party

The group partied in the barn with a great DJ. Some trays of cheese, charcuterie, and even a candyfloss machine came as late night snacks!

We just love Autumnal weddings, the light immediately brings a magical atmosphere to the party!
