Bordeaux holds a special place in our hearts. It was part of our very first trip together through Barcelona, Bordeaux, and Portugal—a trip that neither of us will ever forget. While every stop was memorable, there was something truly magical about Bordeaux. It was here that Jonathan first told me he loved me, making it a place forever woven into our story. We spent our days exploring the city, wandering through vineyards, and discovering the wines of the Left Bank—an experience that deepened a passion we now share together. When we started dreaming about our wedding, we kept coming back to Bordeaux. It represents adventure, love, and some of our favorite memories as a couple. We couldn't imagine a more meaningful place to celebrate the beginning of this next chapter with the people we love most.
The Welcome dinner is French Cocktail Attire: Midi dresses, jumpsuits, linen suits, blazers, and polished resort wear are perfect. The wedding is black tie. We encourage tuxedos and floor-length gowns. We can't wait to see everyone dressed up!
