A Cotton Bird wedding imagined by Charlotte Huguet

Because her singular way of highlighting the beauty of things moves us and has us daydreaming, we have invited the artistic director and stylist Charlotte Huguet to co-imagine a short film about wedding stationery:

This short film is the story of an artistic encounter between our workshop and Charlotte Huguet.

Aesthete advocate for countryside lifestyle, that she highlights in her project Countryfication, Charlotte had the green light (almost fully!) to present her idea of a Cotton Bird wedding.

Thus we discover, through her eyes, the preparation of a wedding set up in a family domain, in the heart of a green foliage setting. The designed images reveal a skilfull mix of simple elegance, beautiful raw material and nature, reminding the Clematis stationery picked out to enhance the table decoration and the reception hall.
The cortege has not arrived on the premises yet, but we can already feel the authentic and friendly spirit of the celebration to come. A short film that simply resonates with a subtle and poetic ode to happy moments shared in intimacy.

Charlotte Huguet

With a background in applied art, Charlotte Huguet has shaped her singular eye at Elle Magazine, where, along the years, she has come to work on subjects from fashion, to travel or lifestyle.

Today she is an artistic director and independent stylist whose refined esthetics, almost raw, her taste for imperfect details and her very distinctive way of revealing natural beauty, are requested by lifestyle and fashion brands such as Bellerose, Sessun, Louise Misha, Bobo Choses… and more recently, our workshop. Charlotte Huguet has also co-founded the project Countryfication, inspired by her own rural exodus, that praises the country lifestyle through a book and an inspiring Instagram account.

Managing a country wedding:

First task and not the least: pick out a venue. We will obviously choose a countryside setting: one-storey farmhouse, barn, rustic inn, all surrounded by greenery… and why not, the house of a friend!

For the meal, put up long wodden tables, ideally out in the open if the weather allows it. We will find our inspiration from grazing tables (a concept coming from Australia), and turn the tables and buffets in colorful culinary scenes, composed of homemade dishes (pies, mini gourmet burgers…) and noble, simple products (regional cheese, fruits and vegetables, cooked meats…). A hedonist mise-en-scène inviting us to help ourselves in a simple manner to whatever our stomach desires.

“I imagined a wedding table like a wide banquet where everyone could sit together and share this moment. A table both simple and attractive very friendly where everything is reachable. A table created as a poem and that aligns with the Cotton Bird spirit. In all fineness.”
- Charlotte Huguet -

On the decoration aspect of things, we obviously focus on natural material, flowers and plants. Table cloths and linen napkins, place card holders and napkins ring made of wood, wild flowers freshly picked on the property or a bouquet of dried flowers… We could also add a dance hall feel to the venue with mismatched second-hand tableware, paper lanterns and buntings…

The table stationery must be in the same spirit: kraft menus, floral or vegetal illustrated place cards… will enhance your scenography in a natural way.
As for the guests favours, you can prepare little phials or pouches filled with dried flowers, seeds to plant… and add a bucolic gift tag to identify its recipient. Small details that could be spred along the table to liven up the decoration, or to present in a wodden crate, on a bale of straw… with a personalised sign encouraging the guests to grab one.

On our website, the collections rustic, botanical or yet bohemian will enable you to find the perfect theme for your countryside wedding!
