Some weddings just seem to have it all—the charm, the romance, the laughter, and, of course, the perfect setting. Virithipa and Nick’s wedding at the breathtaking Château de Tourreau in the South of France was exactly that. I had the privilege of being their wedding celebrant, traveling to this stunning venue to craft and officiate a heartfelt ceremony that celebrated their love story. From start to finish, the day unfolded like a dream, and I’m thrilled to take you along for the journey.
The day began in the château’s opulent suites, where the bridal party buzzed with excitement. Virithipa, radiant in her elegant silk robe, was surrounded by her closest friends and family. Her laughter filled the room as hair and makeup artists worked their magic, creating a look that was as timeless as the château itself Nick, in another suite, was having his own moment of calm before the storm. With his best man by his side, they adjusted bow ties and shared a toast to what promised to be an unforgettable day. The atmosphere was electric—anticipation, joy, and just a hint of nerves hung in the air.
As the preparations wrapped up, it was time for the first look. The château’s grand staircase served as the perfect setting for this intimate moment. When Nick turned to see Virithipa for the first time, the look on his face said it all. Her gown, with its delicate lace detailing, shimmered in the soft afternoon light It was a private moment of connection amid the excitement, and you could feel their love and admiration for one another. Tears, laughter, and a few deep breaths later, they were ready to head into the next chapter of the day.
Held in the château’s lush garden, the ceremony was a feast for the senses. Guests were greeted by rows of chairs framed by sprawling floral arrangements in soft pastel tones, perfectly complementing the natural beauty of the venue.
As an English-speaking celebrant, it’s always my aim to make the ceremony both personal and inclusive. For Virithipa and Nick, this meant weaving in anecdotes from their relationship, heartfelt personal vows, and even a surprise reading from one of their closest friends.
The moment they exchanged vows under the dappled sunlight filtering through century-old trees was pure magic. There wasn’t a dry eye in sight—mine included!
The evening’s festivities kicked off with Virithipa and Nick’s first dance—a perfectly choreographed moment that brought the house down. As they twirled under a canopy of fairy lights, a dazzling display of fireworks lit up the night sky, leaving everyone in awe.
From there, the party was in full swing. Guests danced the night away, fueled by the infectious energy of a live band who absolutely nailed it! The , music, and joy carried on late into the night, creating memories that will be cherished forever.
Virithipa and Nick’s wedding was the perfect blend of elegance, joy, and heartfelt moments. From the historic charm of the château to the laughter shared with loved ones, every detail came together to create a celebration that truly reflected their love story
