Dramatic candlelight autumn wedding in the French countryside

Picture this: autumn in the French countryside. A ceremony at a gorgeous, historic castle that just opened its doors for weddings. Celebrating by candlelight. Can you say dreamy? The castle in question is Château La Cour in western France, and Cathy Marion Photographe, along with event designer La Bel’ Emotion, set out to dream up a wedding just as grand, dramatic, and romantic as the property itself (which you’ll see more of, below). Scroll on through and tell us—did they pull it off, or did they pull it off?!

The changing of the leaves and the castle’s expansive gardens inspired La Bel’ Emotion and Jardin Dobrée to channel a warm ambience and enchanting atmosphere.

When you think of a chateau, you might think of grandeur and elegance, but Château La Cour boasts a cozy, intimate atmosphere that the team played up with candlelight and flowers.
