Inspired by the French Chateau that her grandparents built on their family farm, Gwyneth knew she wanted her wedding guests to feel transported to the French Countryside as soon as Jake proposed. Though Shelbyville, TN may not seem to have many similarities to  France, the wedding planning team made sure Gwyneth and Jake's event was very French-inspired.

The couple's invitation suite set the tone for their big day with a custom watercolor painting of the estate. Coupled with details of silk ribbon and a gold wax seal displaying their Shuler Monogram, Gwyneth and Jake's guests were prefaced with a beautiful sneak peek of what was to come.

The chateau was the perfect background for the ceremony. The aisle was flanked with greenery and white roses creating a gorgeous walkway for the wedding party.  Ceremony programs boldly displayed their Shuler Monogram at the top - a stunning touch. Gwyneth made quite an entrance by rolling up in a baby blue Rolls Royce! 

The evening progressed to a beautiful of more stunning details of luxury and elegance. 

Guests entered the reception in a tented wonderland of twinkling lights and ivory candles allowing for the black and white color scheme to make a bold statement. European-inspired food stations (the Soup du Jour was French Onion!), a black-and-white photo booth, and full bar with the couple's monogram added to the beautiful setting.

Surrounded by the warm candlelight, guests indulged in hand-rolled Nicaraguan Cigars, complete with a monogrammed wrap.
