Champagne and Ivory Old World Charm Wedding Inspiration
When neutral is anything but plain... be still our classic-meets-whimsical loving hearts! This absolutely stunning wedding inspiration, designed by Callista & Company and photographed by The Ganeys (talk about a dream team) hits everything on our wedding wish-list including romantic blooms by another favorite Gather Design Company and a fairytale garden-like ceremony space. The incredibly enchanting and old world venue, Chateau Lill, bodes well with the contemporary design feel and we adore the unique lattice installation behind the head table in the reception space - so beautiful! If you're looking for a fresh feel to your fall or winter wedding, this is all the inspo you need...
From the photographers, The Ganeys... This contemporary chateau editorial was conceptualized and designed by Callista Osborn of Callista & Company and Amy Ly of Gather Design Company.Our design places a contemporary touch on the old-world charm of Chateau Lill. A clean palette of champagne, ivory, taupe, and umber is accented by the natural greenery surrounding the venue. French linen from La Tavola plus touches of gold are carried throughout, providing a timeless, elegant, yet fresh appeal. With that in mind, cotton paper and embossing was paired with modern fonts within the invitation suite and paper goods by Libby Tipton.
The ceremony space was set up among the vineyards on Chateau Lill's property. The aisle was bookended by two, lush floral arches. Along the aisle, flowers overflowed as if they were growing alongside the guests' chairs. The bride's Reem Acra gown featured an illusion bodice with intricate lace detailing and the back of the gown featured a elegant bow. Yessie Libby Makeup Artistry created an elegant look with soft waves accented by a floral crystal comb and natural makeup.
Guests entered the reception through a candlelit staircase. With the help of the champagne tower seating chart, friends and family found their places. Amy arranged ranunculus, sweet peas, lilac and roses in architectural yet organic shapes with natural movement and neutral tones. The refined tablescape of immaculately placed glassware, chargers, and flatware was set for the most special of occasions. The four tiered cake, by Honey Crumb Studio, was elegant with a sense of whimsy. The couple departed Chateau Lill at the end of the evening in a vintage Rolls Royce.
