An Intimate Wedding Editorial in a Private Historical Mansion

A Timeless Parisian Dream: An Intimate Wedding Editorial in a Private Historical Mansion

In my ten years as the owner of my wedding planning business, French Grey Events, I have thrived on creating unforgettable moments that reflect the unique love stories of each couple. Recently, a talented local team and I collaborated with some of the most skilled French vendors to craft an editorial that embodies the essence of romance, elegance, and intimacy. Set in a private historical mansion just outside Paris, this styled shoot celebrates the kind of wedding that dreams are made of.

Pavillon de la Muette, where history meets elegance. Nestled in the picturesque French countryside, 45 minutes drive from Paris, the private mansion provided the perfect backdrop for this intimate wedding. Its timeless architecture, serene autumn gardens, and rich history—including its use as a hunting lodge by Napoleon and King Louis XV—set the stage for a celebration brimming with charm and sophistication. The space radiated warmth and exclusivity, making it perfect for a couple seeking an intimate yet luxurious elopement wedding experience.

The bride was the picture of romance in a stunning, flowy gown by Alon Livne White, which captured the ethereal essence of the day. Her look was completed with exquisite Bella Belle shoes adorned with delicate pearls and satin, ensuring every step she took was as graceful as the next. Adding a touch of sentimentality, she wore vintage Chanel jewelry, including heirloom pieces embellished with pearls and diamonds, gifted to her by her grandmother—an elegant nod to the past that beautifully complemented the setting.

The groom exuded sophistication with a pop of personality, embodying effortless elegance in a bespoke suit and tuxedo by LaPieceur. The tailored suit was paired with a high-neck turtleneck and accented with touches of red that perfectly echoed the florals, adding a bold yet refined twist to his look.

Your Parisian Wedding Awaits, The Details :

This editorial was a true celebration of taste and luxury, where no detail was overlooked. Champagne flowed generously, and a thoughtfully curated selection of French aperitifs and caviar by Kaspia Catering added an air of indulgence to the occasion. The florals featured dark, moody tones, with seasonal blooms chosen for their richness. Standout selections included the deep red Naomi rose and dark purple calla lilies, which added depth and drama to the overall aesthetic.

From the delicate lace of the bride’s heirloom veil to the vintage accents of the decor, every element was thoughtfully curated to showcase the intimacy and beauty of an elopement wedding. This editorial serves as a reminder that a small celebration can still be filled with grandeur, authenticity, and meaning.

A Toast to Love and Legacy :

One of the most striking features of the day was the unique sculptural champagne tower, a breathtaking centerpiece crafted entirely out of red stemware. This stunning installation was a heartfelt tribute to the bride’s late grandfather, who was a renowned architect. The intricate design of the tower paid homage to his creative legacy while seamlessly tying into the editorial’s romantic red accents. This thoughtful detail added a deeply personal touch to the day, making it all the more unforgettable.

Capturing all the magic on this day for us was the talented Thomas Audifffren.
