Louise Roe’s Impossibly Chic Windsor Wedding at Dorney Court

March 9, 2017 | Junebug Weddings

Renowned TV host and fashion blogger Louise Roe is known for her high-fashion elegance, so it’s no wonder her wedding was beyond chic! Louise and Mackenzie said “I do” in a gorgeous chapel that holds tons of family memories, and their breathtaking reception styled by Savile Rose was held at Dorney Court, a regal English manor house. From Louise’s off-the-shoulder Pronovias gown to her bridesmaids’ white tea-length Self-Portrait dresses, we can’t get enough of this bridal party’s fashion! Amy Fanton Photography captured every stunning moment of Louise and Mackenzie’s wedding, including amazing detail shots of their cocktail bar and reception tablescapes.

The Couple:

Louise and Mackenzie

The Wedding:

Eton College Chapel & Dorney Court, Windsor, England

I wanted to try and enjoy the process of wedding planning itself. We also had friends and family involved – Mackenzie‘s best friend is a chef and took over the food, for example, and my dear friend and makeup artist, got us ready.

Eton College Chapel is beyond stunning, and what made it even more special was that Mackenzie‘s parents had both worked at the school for many years. Mackenzie had grown up being in and out of the chapel, so it held memories.

Our favorite photo was leaving the chapel as everyone was throwing confetti, we were laughing and the shot was great – but what made it even better was that my Mum and Dad happened to be right there in the background!

Our advice: Work with wedding planners! Even if just for the big day itself, rather than in a larger capacity, wedding planners can help you avoid so many mistakes that waste time and money. And when you present them with visual ideas or mood boards, try to pick a theme or a lane and stick to it – it’s a minefield out there and too tempting to want every style! But the more concise and precise you can be, the better.

It was October so the colours were very Autumnal: lots of warm ambers, dark waxy greens and splashes of cream in the bouquet and a few flower arrangements scattered around the reception. We kept things simple, not too bright.

I have to say, I often find wedding favours a bit pointless – you leave with something you’re not really going to use again. So I wanted ours to look pretty on the table but also be used by guests. There were mini bottles of Hendrick’s gin, and beautifully wrapped soaps, candles and hand creams from Lollia.

Fantastically Whimsical French Wedding at Château du Bourg

March 8, 2017 | Junebug Weddings

From the sweetest DIY details to the wedding party’s pastel get-up, we can’t help falling in love with Emilie and Thibault’s French wedding! The couple imagined their wedding to be a wonderland full of flimsy florals, whimsical typography, and warm wooden accents, and their vision came to reality at the gorgeous Château du Bourg venue. Emilie is an art director for a Paris advertising agency, so she used her artistic skills to design custom typography, illustrate badges, and construct coloring books as some of their wedding DIY favors. Laurence Revol captured every moment of Emilie and Thibault’s wedding perfectly, including some killer dance-floor shots!

The Couple:

Emilie and Thibault

The Wedding:

Château du Bourg, Perreux, France

I made an illustration representing our respective personality, features and passions and I printed it at posters. All the typography was handmade on Adobe Illustrator.

Our parents leading us to the altar and squeezing our hands with love and reassurance was one of the most memorable moments of the day.

Technically it’s impossible to tell you what was the most important in planning our wedding since every single detail was a main subject for us! But above all, the aim was to turn this day magical and share this unreal parenthesis of life with our beloved guests.

Our advice: You worked hard on this day during months so on the “D-Day,” let it go, even if something is not exactly the same as you planned, it will be wonderful no matter what.

We had in mind a wonderland made with a mix of wood elements, flimsy flowers, soft colors, vintage porcelain plates… something natural and enchanting with hundreds of sparkling details.

Our table numbers were fancy wooden golf holes with pale pink flags embroidered with golden numbers, handmade by my uncle and my mom. One golf ball in every hole was personalized with our wedding logo.

Our place cards were 250 little Bûcheboards we handmade with Thibault. They were mini versions of a logboard to sit on, one of my hobbies!
