Are you looking for the perfect wedding dress? The one that will bring tears to your eyes and make you say: "That's the one"? The country style is just what you're looking for. Brides-to-be love it for its floral embroidery and clean, bohemian lines. As you'll see, most styles feature straight, simple, long and flowing lines.
What fabrics should you use for your wedding dress? Lace, cotton, tulle or chiffon. A wide variety of wedding dresses are available, and your choice will depend above all on your morphology and taste.
The brides' favorite: a natural bridal hairstyle such as a spiky braid, a loose chignon with a headband or a crown of flowers (rose, gypsophila, lavender).

Would you like to break the mould for your countryside wedding at a campsite? Free yourself from the traditional suit and opt for a more relaxed outfit that matches the spirit of the day.
Our favourite choice? A white linen or cotton shirt paired with tailored trousers in beige or light blue shades. Simple and elegant. When it comes to accessories, say goodbye to the tie and hello to a bow tie or matching suspenders.

Have you been invited to a countryside wedding? Good news — the dress code is easy to follow. First and foremost, think simplicity, both in shapes and colours.
For women, opt for flowing dresses or long skirts in soft shades such as powder pink, sky blue or water green. Our favourite look? A jumpsuit or high-waisted trousers paired with a lace top. Men, on the other hand, can take inspiration from the groom’s outfit with a linen shirt and chino trousers, completed with a bow tie.
Our advice: You don’t necessarily need to rush out and buy a new outfit. Instead, reuse pieces from your own wardrobe to create your evening look.

You have probably already flipped through wedding magazines in search of the dress. So, do you prefer a classic gown with a long train, or a more modern and minimalist design? In both cases, the fabrics to prioritize remain the same: silk, satin, lace, and beautiful embroidery.
When it comes to silhouettes, several wedding dress styles stand out. First, the mermaid cut, which enhances the curves of X- or hourglass-shaped figures. Then, the revisited princess dress, which brings a fairytale look without being overly ornate. Its advantage? It suits all brides-to-be.
Our advice: choose a voluminous skirt for the ceremony, then opt for a lighter version to dance all night long.

The question on everyone’s lips: “What should I wear to a chic wedding?”
For ladies, choose an outfit that combines sophistication and comfort. A midi or long dress in soft shades such as champagne, powder pink or sky blue will be a perfect choice. Prefer something more structured? A chic trouser suit that is right on trend also adds a contemporary touch.
Gentlemen, this is your moment to show that you master elegance. Navy blue, anthracite grey or beige depending on the season — anything goes for your suit. An impeccably pressed shirt and a tie or bow tie complete the look. Tempted by a more relaxed style? A smart jacket paired with matching trousers can work perfectly, as long as everything is in coordinated tones.

For a country wedding, focus on understated charm and natural elegance. Have you chosen this style for your civil ceremony in the mountains or by the sea? Then let’s see how to enhance your outfit with accessories. Let’s start with your shoes. Flat, soft leather sandals with a touch of gold or low-heeled espadrilles (5 cm) will work perfectly. This way, you can walk more easily on grass without compromising your comfort. For the groom, choose brown leather or suede shoes that will pair beautifully with a light linen or cotton suit.
When it comes to jewellery, a delicate necklace, dangling earrings with small natural stones or discreet bracelets will brighten your outfit. Don’t forget the clutch for the finishing touch. An embroidered fabric version or an elegant straw clutch completes this style perfectly.
The on-trend accessory: wheat ears, wildflowers or dried flowers. Use floral accessories for the bride’s flower crown, bouquet or the groom’s boutonniere. They will also bring a bohemian feel to your reception venue.

For a chic wedding, every detail should exude sophistication. Where to start? Your shoes, of course. Opt for patent leather or satin pumps in neutral shades such as nude, white or ivory. Hesitating about heel height? Choose a pair you can move in gracefully all day long. Comfort and elegance go hand in hand — you can trust us. For the groom, nothing beats a timeless pair of perfectly polished black or brown patent leather shoes.
When it comes to jewellery, choose pieces that catch the eye without overpowering the overall look. Pearl earrings, a white gold necklace or a statement cuff always work beautifully. And the clutch? A version adorned with rhinestones or pearls is a must-have to keep your essentials close at hand while staying true to the theme.
The on-trend accessory: extra-long, sheer veils, like Meghan Markle in 2018. After all, you are the princess of the day too.

“Our countryside-themed wedding in the south of France was everything we had imagined. Hay bales served as seats for our guests. The seating plan, written in chalk on an old window, added a vintage touch. My floral dress, light and elegant, blended perfectly with the chic and natural atmosphere. Gwendal, wearing a suit with suspenders, embodied relaxed charm. We danced until the end of the night under a starry sky, surrounded by our loved ones and this rustic yet refined decor.”

“We chose a renovated barn in the southwest of France to celebrate our countryside wedding. Hay bales, wooden log place cards and an arch decorated with wildflowers immediately charmed our guests. My chic countryside floral dress was perfect for the romantic atmosphere. On his side, Florian, wearing a beige linen waistcoat, added a touch of natural elegance. It was an unforgettable day, filled with simplicity and warmth, exactly as we had imagined.”
