Today, we’re thrilled to share that their photos have been featured on Style Me Pretty! Keep scrolling for the full story as told to the publication and for all of the beauty.

Alyssa & Aaron are high school sweethearts! They met the summer before their senior year in high school in Princeton, NJ and spent those summer months sneaking out past their curfew to be together. As the bride put it, “It’s incredible how much we’ve grown as people and as a couple over the past decade. Our life together is only more and more wonderful each year!”
The inspiration behind the design was to create an intimate wedding celebration that was organic and elegant with romantic fine art touches. Jennifer Fox Weddings curated each design element to highlight the natural beauty of the château and the region of the Côte d’Azur.
A live band performed a rendition of “How Long Will I Love You” by Ellie Goulding, as the bride walked down the aisle. The bride and groom had their first dance to an acoustic version of “Wild Love” by James Bay… there was not a dry eye in the house,
Guests were welcomed to the ceremony with lemon and mint flavored water and champagne. During the cocktail hour, they nibbled on an array of passed canapés and sipped on Mexican Time and Paper Plane cocktails, the couple’s signature drinks of choice! Everyone then went on to enjoy a 3-course seated dinner of sea bream tartare, lamb three ways and a “field’s queen biscuit”. As a late night snack, everyone snacked on an assortment macarons and mini croque monsieur.
The couple deviated from tradition and had a champagne toast and private cake cutting for two. They enjoyed chocolate cake with raspberry cream cake that they took back to their room as a late night snack to cap off the evening.
The floral design featured impressive pink dahlias (the most beautiful pink blooms the couple has ever seen!), spray roses, sweet peas, roses, lysianthus, dianthus, campanulas and phlox.
