AS SEEN IN
Tucked away just outside of Paris, Château Bouffémont is a dream destination for couples seeking a romantic and elegant wedding in France—and Tatum and Nick’s winter elopement was nothing short of magical. With the chateau’s regal charm, twinkling holiday lights in the city, and the quiet intimacy of their closest family and friends, their day felt straight out of a storybook.
A Destination WINTER Elopement in France
Tatum and Nick traveled from Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas to elope in one of the most breathtaking French chateau wedding venues. With a short engagement and a shared love for France, they chose to say “I do” just days before Christmas—adding even more magic to the season. Their venue, Château Bouffémont, is located about an hour from Paris, making it a perfect blend of countryside elegance and city convenience for couples dreaming of a destination wedding in France.
The chateau itself is grand yet intimate, with sweeping staircases, gilded details, and views of the surrounding forest. Every inch of the venue felt luxurious and full of history—exactly the elegant French aesthetic they envisioned.
A Day Full of Emotion and Joy
From the moment the day began, there was a quiet sense of anticipation. The atmosphere was filled with love, laughter, and the occasional happy tear as Tatum and Nick shared their day with their closest family and friends. The joy was infectious—real, deep, and beautifully unscripted.
One of my favorite moments was seeing the flower girls quietly peeking down at the bride and groom from above, watching their older cousins get married with wide-eyed wonder. It was such a tender, fleeting moment that spoke volumes about the closeness of this family and the sweetness of the day.
Winter Wedding Inspiration in a French Chateau
Winter weddings in France hold a special kind of magic, and this one was no exception. From the cozy candlelit atmosphere inside the chateau to the twinkle of Paris at Christmas just a short drive away, everything felt beautifully cinematic.
Tatum’s gown added to the elegance of the day, paired perfectly with the classic architecture and regal interiors of Château Bouffémont. The understated florals, romantic color palette, and heartfelt vows created a celebration that was deeply personal and effortlessly chic.
