Nestled just outside of Fort Worth, Texas, Chateau Joli provided the perfect backdrop for The McJilton’s stunning wedding. With its French-inspired architecture and romantic charm, our venue was transformed into a breathtaking celebration of love, elegance, and pastel perfection.
A Pastel Dream: The Wedding Theme
The McJilton’s chose a soft, romantic color palette of pastel blues, purples, and pinks. These delicate hues were woven throughout the florals, décor, and even attire, creating a whimsical yet sophisticated atmosphere that perfectly complemented the timeless elegance of our French-style wedding venue.


A Unique Ceremony-to-Reception Transformation
Rather than using separate spaces, The McJilton’s opted to say their vows inside the reception hall, which was later transformed into a stunning reception space. With seamless coordination, our team flipped the room from an intimate ceremony setting to an elegant dining and dancing area. Lush floral arrangements, twinkling candlelight, and a champagne tower made for an unforgettable ambiance.



A Magical Moment with Nature
One of the most enchanting moments of the day occurred when a butterfly landed on the bride during their outdoor photos. It was a breathtaking, almost symbolic moment that added to the romance and fairytale-like quality of the day.

An Unforgettable Celebration
Guests were in absolute awe of the transformation and ambiance at Chateau Joli. From the stunning décor to the lively dance floor, every detail contributed to an unforgettable night of celebration, laughter, and love.
