Chateau de Queille Wedding<\/h2>\n

The Proposal<\/h3>\n

Tom organised a gorgeous and sentimental proposal. Taking me back to Oslo<\/strong> where I had spent my childhood and absolutely loved. He proposed to me on the top of a mountain ( Vettakollen) after a morning hike<\/strong> to watch the sunrise over Holmenkollen where we lived. We then spent the day sledging and drinking champagne!<\/p>\n

The Vision<\/h3>\n

We wanted a relaxed<\/strong> wedding celebration with our family and friends. We chose a beautiful chateau in the South West of France, with lots of character and wanted to gather all our closest people for a weekend of fun.<\/p>\n

The Venue<\/h3>\n

Our planner Cl\u00e9mentine Ward from Awardweddings presented us with several venues in the South West of France. We visited a few places and just fell in love with Chateau de Queille<\/strong>, a gorgeous chateau near the Pyrenees.<\/p>\n

Your Outfits<\/h3>\n

My wedding dress was a pre-loved \u2018Grace Loves Lace<\/strong>\u2019 gown bought from a beautiful shop called \u2018Gillian Million<\/strong>\u2019 (@gillianmillion). She recommended I have some alterations by Sanda Valentina who was incredible and managed to add length to the dress so that I was able to wear the heels my Mother wore on her wedding day.<\/p>\n

Tom wore a tan linen suit from Hawes & Curtis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Styling & Decor<\/h3>\n

We went for a chic boho rustic<\/strong> styling with lots of pastel-coloured flowers and a mixture of wood, linen and glass decorations. We chose a style that would complement the venue.<\/p>\n

We had beautiful stationery<\/strong> from Atelier Rosemood. We also had personal touches with polaroid of each guest as place names<\/a> during dinner.<\/p>\n
