A Harry Potter-Themed Wedding at La Bergerie du Courneau – Wedding Designer

A Harry Potter Wedding at La Bergerie du Courneau

On September 23, 2023, I had the pleasure of designing the scenography for O&V’s big day at La Bergerie du Courneau. A truly unique wedding, entirely inspired by a universe they both love: Harry Potter.

From our very first conversation, the tone was set. They wanted to immerse their guests in a magical atmosphere, somewhere between the Room of Requirement and the Great Hall of Hogwarts. My role as a wedding designer was to transform this cozy venue into an immersive decor filled with subtle and iconic references to the saga.

100% Magical Decoration

The Harry Potter universe is full of strong visual symbols and rich storytelling elements. It was essential to strike the right balance between subtle nods and iconic details. Some of the highlights of the scenography included:

• A seating chart styled like the Hogwarts Express, with a 9¾ sign to guide the guests.

• Table centerpieces inspired by key elements from the films.

• Chandeliers, potions, old spell books, and floating candles to create a soft and mysterious atmosphere.

• Thoughtful details such as menus printed on parchment, flying keys hanging from the ceiling, and a photo booth corner with Hagrid’s suitcase and Hedwig’s cage.

Each element was designed and placed to tell a story and transport the guests straight into the wizarding world.

A Fully Immersive Experience

The couple went all in: the soundtrack from the movies played softly in the background, cocktails had magical names like Polyjuice Potion and Butterbeer, and even a few discreet guest costumes added to the charm. All of this helped create a truly immersive, out-of-time experience.

As a designer, I absolutely loved imagining every detail of this day. Seeing the guests’ eyes light up as they entered the room, hearing their delighted reactions to the décor… that’s exactly why I do what I do.

A Strong Theme, an Unforgettable Memory

A theme like Harry Potter can seem tricky to incorporate into a wedding. But with an aesthetic approach, a refined color palette (gold, burgundy, emerald green), and well-balanced references, it’s possible to create a scenography that’s both playful and elegant.

A big thank you to O&V for their trust. Their wedding was a beautiful success, and a perfect example of what personalized styling can bring to life.
