Lilac & Honey-a French Chateau Wedding

Megan Seitz

A French chateau wedding that will make you look at purple and yellow with new eyes!

I never much cared for yellow or purple, particularly together, but boy did I change my mind when I saw this lilac & honey color palette at Chateau de Champlatreux! It was understated, yet bold in a way that brought out the gorgeous, opulent architecture at this 18th century French chateau. The muted gold highlighted the antique furnishings as well as the stone carvings that accentuate the Parisian vibe.

Why Choose this French Chateau for Your Wedding

Chateau de Champlatreux is one of those rare venues where every single angle, every single room is incredibly photogenic. A venue like that is a photographer’s dream, and it only gets better when this French chateau is situated less than 15 minutes from the Charles de Gaule airport and 45 minutes away from Paris!

So the ease of getting there is perfect for all of your vendors. You won’t have to worry that your florist or your videographer won’t be able to find it because of how straightforward it is to get there! Even when I (stupidly) rented a car for the day in Paris, despite going around and around the Arc de Triomphe several times trying to find the right turn off, I still managed to get there fairly quickly, and on time!

“Our Photos Were Phenomenal!.”

She easily became our good friend as she would make you feel like she's more than just one of your vendors, very organized, not pushy at all, her top priority is what the couple wants and turn that into something very beautiful and most importantly listens to all your needs and requests. Not to mention, our photos came out phenomenal!!! Meg deserves so much more credit because she's a 10/10 photographer but 100/10 as a person.

"So Natural, Dreamy & Timeless"

Meg took photos for us and provided stunning photos and managed to wrangle our massive family with so many wriggly children flawlessly. Very impressive. She has such a fun energy that puts even the most awkward picture takers (my husband) at ease! The photos and the editing are so natural and dreamy and timeless. I would trust Meg with my life and more importantly with my wedding day in a heartbeat and highly recommend that you do too!!
