If you’re dreaming of a sunny French wedding, then don’t miss this fantastic special offer from Chateau de Fayolle in the Dordogne region of France. This 17th Century fairytale chateau is owned by the lovely Janet and Gerry de Bathe, who would be delighted to welcome you and your guests to their beautiful home, which includes a private chapel, gardens and natural salt water swimming pool.

For those of you looking for somewhere that is more eco-friendly, you’ll be sound in the knowledge that Janet and Gerry run Chateau de Fayolle with an eco-friendly approach, from the salt water pool and eco light bulbs, to a carbon neutral wood heating system and furnishing and decorating the chateau with flea market finds.

If you missed part one of Mariette and Benjamin’s natural French countryside wedding yesterday, get over there now and immerse yourself in an utterly gorgeous wedding. Today it’s the second part with some gorgeous photos in woodland and around the stone villa, and their fun reception and rustic decorations.

What a happy looking couple – and those gorgeous lace sleeves and floral headband. Everything is just so fitting about this wedding, nothing seems out of place or contrived – just simple, natural and beautiful.

It always helps to have a beautiful rustic backdrop to create romantic wedding photographs, like an old French villa with mint green shutters and a rambling rose (oh France how I miss you!)…

It goes without saying this might possibly be one of my favourite weddings ever. Shot by American photographer David Blair, this oh-so-pretty wedding of Mariette and Benjamin took place at a family-owned, rustic stone villa in the French countryside.

If you’re regular readers of the blog, it won’t come as any surprise that the brides dress is one of my absolute favourites – I’m not sure I’ve seen many more that I think are more exquisite. I even told Nick that I might have swapped my own wedding dress for it – he was shocked!

I love the delicate lace sleeves and the way the front is loosely draped and edged with more lace. I love the ribbon sash around the waist that is fastened in a bow at the back and the way the skirt falls simply to the floor – the lace hem full of dainty detailing. It seems quite Edwardian inspired – one of my favourite eras for wedding dress inspiration.
