Mallaurie + Michael // Chateau des Fleurs Idaho Wedding
Nestled in the heart of Eagle, Idaho, the Chateau des Fleurs is a venue that seamlessly blends the enchanting allure of Europe with the wild, untamed beauty of Idaho. It was here that Mallaurie and Michael chose to begin their new chapter together, surrounded by the lush gardens and elegant architecture that make this venue reminiscent of a little slice of Italy. Their wedding was not just a union of two people but a celebration of love, adventure, and the promise of a beautiful future.
Mallaurie and Michael's journey to this day was as unique as their love story. Having met in California, the couple spent several years in a long-distance relationship, their hearts connected despite the miles. Three years ago, they made the adventurous move to Idaho, seeking the tranquility and natural beauty that the state offers. It was in this new home that they decided to create a wedding experience that their guests would remember forever—a jubilant celebration of their love and their new life together.
As the sun set over the Chateau des Fleurs, casting a golden hue over the lush gardens and ornate fountains, guests were transported to a world of wonder and romance. The venue, with its arched windows and string lights, created the perfect backdrop for the day’s events. The preparation began under the soft morning light, with Mallaurie's exquisite lace wedding dress hanging elegantly from a wooden pergola, surrounded by blooming white flowers. The atmosphere was serene and filled with anticipation.
Inside the chateau, the bridal suite buzzed with excitement and laughter. Mallaurie, in her white tank top and shorts, sat by a large window as a makeup artist worked magic, creating a natural and stunning look. The room, adorned with candelabras and ornate decor, had an unmistakable European feel, setting the tone for the day. As her bridesmaids gathered around, dressed in elegant green velvet, they toasted to the bride's happiness and the adventures that lay ahead.
Meanwhile, Michael and his groomsmen embraced the day's theme with a classic rustic flair, reminiscent of TV shows like Yellowstone. Dressed in blue suits and cowboy hats, they exuded a rugged charm that perfectly complemented the elegance of the venue. I love that they incorporated a little fun with a game day walk into the venue and playfulness incorporating their cigars, a gift from Michael to his guys. Their camaraderie was evident as they shared a toast, the clinking of cans echoing with laughter and excitement.
The moment that truly captured the spirit of the day was the first look. Under a wooden archway surrounded by lush greenery, Mallaurie approached Michael, her smile radiant and full of love. As he turned to see his bride for the first time, emotions washed over him, and the couple shared a tender embrace. It was a moment of pure joy and connection—a testament to their journey and the love they shared. My favorite part was the inclusion of their bridal party, allowing their most treasured loved ones to partake in the moment.
The ceremony was held beneath a grand floral arch inside the chateau's elegant hall. The air was filled with anticipation as guests, seated on gold chairs, watched the couple exchange vows. Under the soft glow of chandeliers, with floral arrangements framing the scene, Mallaurie and Michael pledged their lives to one another, their voices steady and full of emotion. Bring a little rustic charm to their wedding ceremony exit, Michael stole a quick kiss covering it with his cowboy.
After the ceremony, the celebration continued into the night. The banquet hall was transformed into a dreamlike setting, with round tables adorned with white linens, gold charger plates, and cascading floral centerpieces. The couple's entrance into the reception was met with applause and cheers, the room alive with the energy of celebration. The first dance was a sight to behold; Mallaurie and Michael moved gracefully across the floor, lost in each other's embrace. The cowboy hat and elegant gown seemed to tell a story of their adventurous spirits, blending tradition with a touch of wild Idaho charm.
As the night progressed, heartfelt toasts were made, laughter echoed through the halls, and the joyous clinking of glasses marked a shared celebration of love. The guests joined the couple on the dance floor, the atmosphere electric with joy and unity. The evening was capped with Mallaurie playfully tossing her bouquet, the women eagerly reaching to catch it, a moment of fun and camaraderie. After dancing into the night, Michael and Mallaurie invited their guests to leave so they could have a final dance. With tables empty and remnants of a party surrounding them, Mallaurie and Michael embraced the next step of this amazing journey together.
Mallaurie and Michael's wedding at the Chateau des Fleurs was more than just a beautiful event; it was a testament to their love and the adventures that awaited them. The venue, with its European-inspired elegance and Idaho's natural beauty, provided the perfect backdrop for a day filled with wonder and joy.
