Rustic Chic Wedding at Chateau de Malliac — A Stylish Celebration in the South of France

As professional wedding photographers and videographers, we are always inspired by weddings that tell a story — and this one did so beautifully. The couple created a wedding concept that blended vintage aesthetics with eco-conscious choices and a touch of French refinement.

Natural linen napkins embroidered with the menu, a fabric seating chart styled like an old cinema poster, wooden chairs, and retro decor elements — every detail was intentionally chosen to reflect the couple's values and vision. The color palette of white and green felt fresh, pure, and quietly sophisticated — echoing the natural surroundings of Chateau de Malliac.

Émilie is an extraordinary woman, and her wedding look was a reflection of her bold, expressive nature. She wore a delicate vintage wedding dress adorned with intricate beading and completed her look with a unique headpiece inspired by the 1930s.

We are proud to share that this beautiful rustic chic wedding at Chateau de Malliac was recently featured on French Wedding Style — one of the leading international blogs dedicated to elegant weddings in France.

Mathieu, a French native, opted for a natural linen suit, effortlessly harmonizing with the rustic-chic ambiance of the day. Together, they were not only a stunning couple in front of the lens — they also personally planned and styled every aspect of their wedding. And they did it brilliantly.

The wedding ceremony took place in the garden of Chateau de Malliac, surrounded by lush greenery and accompanied by soft vintage tunes. Guests sat on wooden chairs under the dappled sunlight as the atmosphere came alive with gentle emotion and serene beauty.

The floral hand-crafted decor, and tabletop accents all conveyed a sense of simplicity infused with quiet luxury. It was an honest, heartfelt ceremony — filled with smiles, tears, and the warmth of close friends and family.

After the ceremony, guests were treated to a traditional French dinner — a culinary celebration of local flavors. The highlight? Slow-cooked duck leg with corn, a humble yet delicious tribute to the Dordogne region’s gastronomic heritage.

For dessert, a magnificent croquembouche stole the show — not only in taste but also as a nod to classic French wedding traditions. The evening continued under the stars with vintage music and glasses of Taittinger champagne — the perfect finishing touch to an already magical day.

As the sun set over Chateau de Malliac, the celebration continued with a beautifully styled outdoor wedding party that perfectly echoed the rustic-chic theme of the day. For the evening, Émilie changed into a custom-made handmade wedding dress, designed exclusively for her — a unique piece crafted from delicate tulle and adorned with intricate beading. The gown was not only comfortable for dancing but also in perfect harmony with the overall eco-friendly and elegant aesthetic of the wedding.

A wooden dance floor was built in the garden, blending naturally into the venue’s surroundings and adding a warm, organic feel to the night. Guests laughed, danced, and celebrated under the open sky, creating an atmosphere that was both emotional and effortlessly stylish. The music, the lights, the fresh air of the French countryside — everything came together to form a truly memorable and joyful end to this exceptional South of France wedding celebration.

As passionate wedding photographers and videographers, we’re always searching for weddings that feel meaningful, personal, and beautiful — and this one captured it all. From the emotional garden ceremony to the joyful dinner under fairy lights, every moment at Chateau de Malliac was worth preserving.

We love documenting weddings in the Dordogne and across the South of France, and this one reminded us why: the light, the landscapes, the people — and the stories, like Émilie and Mathieu’s, that deserve to be remembered for a lifetime.
