Chateau Okanagan: A Romantic Estate for European-Inspired Weddings in the Heart of the Okanagan

Tucked into the rolling hills of British Columbia’s wine region, Chateau Okanagan is one of the Okanagan Valley’s most exclusive and romantic wedding venues. With sweeping lake views, terraced gardens, and a stately European-style residence, it’s easy to see why couples and creatives alike are drawn to this property. The chateau blends old-world elegance with Okanagan charm, offering an unforgettable backdrop for luxury celebrations.

When couples book Chateau Okanagan, they’re given access to a full estate experience. The property includes beautifully manicured ceremony spaces, stunning suites to get ready in, and an expansive outdoor terrace ideal for cocktail hour or an al fresco dinner. Getting-ready suites are thoughtfully designed for comfort and style, and the property can also accommodate overnight stays for a select number of guests. With its romantic architecture, vineyard views, and complete privacy, Chateau Okanagan feels more like a destination getaway than a traditional venue.

This recent editorial, co-hosted by Lisa Catherine Photo, Raven Alexandra Weddings, and Twig & Bloom Floral, brought that European atmosphere to life with intentional design details and a fresh, romantic color palette. Inspired by soft spring florals and timeless elegance, the shoot featured shades of blush, ivory, and mauve, paired with garden-style arrangements that felt organic and sculptural.

Twig & Bloom created artful floral installations using garden roses, blooming branches, and layers of greenery that framed both the ceremony space and reception table. An abstract cake added a modern, whimsical twist to the aesthetic, and a vintage cream convertible—parked under flowering magnolia trees—offered a cinematic moment that felt straight out of a European film.

The bride wore an ethereal Ouma Bridal gown from Blush & Raven, featuring cascading ruffles and a soft blush tone that caught the afternoon light beautifully. Her accessories, including Bella Belle bridal shoes and delicate earrings, added a touch of refined femininity. Beauty by Amy Beth completed the look with a clean, romantic bridal glow.

A custom stationery suite by Paper Ocelot tied the whole story together. Hand-torn edges, soft watercolor textures, and modern calligraphy gave the invitation suite a fine art feel that echoed the natural elegance of the day. On the reception table, blush taper candles, crystal glassware, and soft linens created a layered, intimate tablescape. All Occasions Party & Event Rentals provided elegant French-inspired chairs that added to the editorial’s timeless charm.

Every detail was thoughtfully styled to inspire couples dreaming of a wedding that feels elevated, intentional, and effortlessly romantic. With views, privacy, and a sense of place that’s hard to replicate, Chateau Okanagan continues to be a standout choice for couples seeking an unforgettable celebration in the Okanagan Valley.
