Effortless Rustic Wedding at Château De Raysse

The magic really came alive in the details. They wove together a beautiful tapestry of olive green, warm cinnamon, and soft lavender throughout their celebration. Abi was absolutely radiant in her Eva Lendel gown, carrying the most gorgeous bouquet of purple and white dahlias, fresh lavender, and delicate baby’s breath. Her bridesmaids looked stunning in dresses that perfectly captured the day’s earthy, romantic palette.

Thanks to a talented local florist from Souillac, the château’s natural beauty was enhanced with lovely touches of lavender and baby’s breath at every turn. The reception felt like something out of a dream – long wooden tables glowing with candlelight, decorated with flowers from the ceremony, and topped off with the most incredible three-tiered cheese wheel cake. And having Josh’s sister lead the ceremony? That personal touch made everything even more special. As music and laughter filled the air into the night, it was clear – this wasn’t just a wedding, it was a perfect blend of rustic French charm and pure romance. Through Michael Mann’s photography, these moments of joy, connection, and celebration will be treasured for generations to come.
