If you are reading only one part

Florist

The palette below, and the note about the gold. The laurel is the only motif in the suite — it is a wreath, not a spray, and it is never repeated as a border.

Venue stylist

The palette, and the table numbers note under Day-of notes: no holders or stands that reintroduce ornament. Twelve tables, named not numbered.

Photographer

The stationery list below is the shot list. The pieces worth a detail frame are the invitation with its wax seal, the gilded edge, and the mirror seating chart before guests arrive. The one o'clock onion soup is a family tradition, not a filler.

Planner

Everything. Quantities, the timeline, and the seating chart's display method are the three that affect other suppliers.

The visual identity at a glance

Gold is used only as gilding and as the ampersand of the couple's cipher — it never carries text. Bordeaux appears once in the whole suite, on the sealing wax. If you are matching ribbon, linen, menus-in-situ or signage, match to Warm Ivory and Bistre first.

Match to the printed piece, not to these squares. The values above are screen values: they are how the colour is specified, not how it will look in the room. Ask for a printed piece before you commit an order of ribbon, linen or paint. Antique Gold in particular is a metallic on the stationery — a flat ink or fabric mixed to #B08D57 will read noticeably duller beside it, which is usually the right choice as long as it is a deliberate one.

Stationery arriving

Day-of notes

Seating chart

By-table list, showing both the number and the château name. Applied as vinyl lettering on a mirror — the stationer supplies the ink layer only, as a vector file with the type ready to convert to outlines. The laurel at the head is a raster and cannot be weeded: print-and-cut it, or leave it off and let the type carry the board. Position it where a crowd of 120 can read it at the entrance without blocking the doors.

Tables

Twelve tables of ten, named for Loire châteaux: Chambord, Chenonceau, Azay-le-Rideau, Villandry, Chaumont, Ussé, Cheverny, Amboise, Blois, Langeais, Valençay, Montsoreau. Table numbers stand 100 × 130 mm and are read from across the room.

Head table

Table 1 (Chambord) — the couple, both sets of parents, and grandmother Delacroix.

Table numbers

Deliberately the barest piece in the suite: no frame, no rules, no gilding. Please do not add holders or stands that reintroduce ornament — a plain weighted base or a simple slot is right.

The mark

The laurel appears once per piece and never as a border. If you are producing anything additional, keep to that rule.

Timeline

Four o'clock, guests arrive — welcome coupe in the cour d'honneur · Half past four, ceremony · Half past five, cocktails on the river terrace · Half past seven, dinner in the orangerie · Ten o'clock, first dance and the pièce montée · Half past ten, dancing in the vaulted cellar · One o'clock, onion soup and last carriages.

Late-night note

The one o'clock onion soup is a Delacroix family tradition — it is not a filler service and should not be cut for time.
