A celebration from across the ocean, wrapped in softness, elegance, and tactile poetry.
When this American couple entrusted me with the visual identity of their French wedding at Château Fengari, I envisioned a refined, romantic artistic direction that would echo their story and the soul of the place.
The guiding thread: a soft, powdery palette anchored in dusty blue tones, reflecting the delicate floral textures curated by the florist Artmania. Around this chromatic harmony, I selected meaningful materials, textured creative paper, handmade cotton paper, chosen for their depth, their touch, their story.
The château’s illustration, entirely hand-drawn (with no AI), set the tone for the suite, a deeply personal gesture that captured the architecture and spirit of the venue.
From there, a bespoke collection unfolded:
- vow booklets crafted from raw, noble paper,
- a hand-illustrated welcome sign,
- a seating chart imagined as a floral installation: each guest’s name delicately glued on a tiny glass vase with handmade paper tags both a decorative element and a keepsake,
- menus and table names finished with blue ribbons.

At the heart of it all, a one-of-a-kind guestbook: bound in white grained Italian leather, with hot-stamped monogram and names along the spine, and 120gsm creative paper to hold their most heartfelt words.
Each piece was designed as a quiet gesture to honor their love, the place they chose, and the enduring beauty of hand-crafted details.
