French Chateau Wedding Inspiration - Day 22 of 90

It took quite a while to figure out what theme or ~ vibe ~ I wanted for our wedding this fall. I want something classy but airy and crisp but not super trendy — something timeless. So after looking at a lot of wedding inspiration of venues, cakes, decoration, and colors — I think the vibe I’m going for can be described as an intimate wedding at a “French Chateau”. So what does that mean? Well, I don’t really have the words but I can show bits and pieces of what I’m thinking…

Lots of earthy elements

I love this unique way of displaying the seating chart with loaves of bread but if we don’t do a seating chart, I also love the idea of just having loaves scattered around on the tables.

I can’t stop thinking about having infused olive oil as wedding favors! Or perhaps homemade vanilla?! If we decide to do the infused olive oil, this would b such a cute way to wrap them!

Since we are planning to let the mansion be the decoration, most of the decor will be the tablescapes.

Love this simple but bold look. Would switch out the black charger for something lighter!

Love the sheer runner underneath the greenery

Also love the simple florals


I’m on a 90 day feel good, do good journey where I share my daily eats & drinks and physical activity while trying to look and feel my best. This journey is simply a tool to gently keep tabs on where I’m at physically (mentally and emotionally) - without shame or guilt. If you’re interested, you can read about my why here and you can see all daily journal entries, here.

I talk and share about weight, fat loss goals, calories, etc on this journey, so if you’re not in the headspace to read about this topic, please skip these posts. :)
