Surrounded by beautiful parkland, the Abbaye De La Bussiére, originally built in the 12th Century as a Cistercian Abbey, is now a luxurious Relais Chateaux Hotel. Dressing this venue both inside and out for me is always a pleasure, both professionally and personally. On this occasion, an elegant combination of white roses, stocks, hydrangea and Phalaenopsis orchids were lit softly by a sea of candles, lending a romantic air to the historic setting. An intimate ceremony took place in the ancient Crypt followed by a reception held in the heart of the Abbaye.
