The bride’s style was elegant, matching the class of the château

For the big day, the bride chose an elegant V-neck white dress with lace and an open back with buttons accompanied by a long train.

Nicki decided to accompany this look with an updo hairstyle, a low twisted bun with small white flowers to match her wedding bouquet. Her hair was done by Maëlle Poveda.

The bride’s makeup, done by the professional Cassandre Gois, was also natural to match her look on the big day!

The bride’s bouquet was beautiful and natural, full of white roses, daisies and lots of green leaves which was a colour theme throughout the wedding venue as the seating plan was also surrounded by green leaves and white flowers and even the centrepieces were made up of this beautiful flower combination!
