Karen + Steve's wedding, captured by David from Modern Vintage Weddings, was held at Chateau Rigaud, a stunning vineyard property nestled in the Bordeaux wine region of France. Their biggest priority was for their guests to feel relaxed, and with the help of their planner from And Then We Got Married, the day went off without a hitch. Guests dined on local fare utilizing the venue's own vegetable garden, drank wine sourced from nearby wineries, and took in the views of the surrounding rolling hills.

Karen + Steve say, We didn't want a big fuss, nothing over the top or in your face. Everything had to fit in with the amazing location, the flowers, the decor, the casual settings, the bridal party outfits. We wanted people to feel like they were on holiday with their closest friends and family.

The florals, by Flowers in the Vines, were beautifully rustic and unusual. Karen's bouquet, which you'll see in a sec, featured a pretty mix of white stock + blue viburnum berries. And the bridesmaids each carried a different bouquet of dried flowers + herbs.

We're loving these bridesmaids in neutral hues! Shop their look with our bridesmaid guide below:

Festival and Sons, a folk-style band based in the UK, were flown in to entertain guests during cocktail hour.

Such a gorgeous reception setting!
