An elegant wedding between Fontainebleau and the Château de Nainville-Les-Roches

Crystal and Charlie kicked off their wedding celebrations the night before with a warm welcome dinner at the Hôtel Napoléon in Fontainebleau. This welcome dinner was inspired by Crystal’s Chinese heritage. In the inner courtyard, decorated with fairy lights and touches of red, guests enjoyed a refined buffet combining French and Chinese flavours, from Peking duck to local specialties, in a convivial atmosphere.

The next day, everyone headed to the Château de Nainville-les-Roches. Despite the unpredictable weather, the ceremony was held in the gardens, surrounded by fountains and flower beds. The bride's arrival in a carriage drawn by two magnificent white horses amazed the guests. A violinist accompanied the ceremony, delicately underscoring each emotional moment.

The cocktail reception and dinner took place in the elegantly decorated salons of the château, with toile de Jouy tablecloths, blue-toned floral arrangements and personalized stationery featuring the bride and groom. After the meal, the guests were invited onto the terrace for a memorable surprise: a show inspired by Chinese traditions, performed by talented acrobats and dancers.

The evening continued with the cutting of the wedding cake and a champagne fountain, before the dance floor opened for a lively and joyful celebration..
