Leanne Ansar and Louis Terme married at Abbaye de Reigny, a 12th-century Cistercian abbey in Vermenton, Burgundy, France, privatized for 150 guests. Leanne, American with French roots, shaped the day around her dual heritage. Deep red and blush florals framed the garden ceremony, grape towers, baguettes and lace filled a lace-canopied grazing table, and candlelit dinner tables lined the abbey's vaulted Gothic hall.

A Closer Look

Grape clusters spilled from gold candelabras down the length of a 12th-century vaulted hall, and that image sums up Leanne and Louis's wedding at Abbaye de Reigny. At the Cistercian abbey in the Burgundy wine country outside Vermenton, the grape became the day's through line, and the stone, the gardens and the Gothic arches did the rest. Leanne, raised in the United States with deep French roots, wanted the celebration to honor both sides of her heritage.

With VIPR Agency, the couple mixed the abbey's history with fashion. Leanne wore a strapless gown with a lace-edged cathedral veil, and the bridesmaids wore champagne beaded gowns and carried white lace fans; the groomsmen answered with black ones. The ceremony took place on the gravel allée between urns of deep red and blush roses on white-draped plinths, with the abbey's dovecote tower in the distance and lace discs floating on the pond nearby.

The grapes arrived at cocktail hour. Beneath lace canopies strung between the trees, a grazing table spilled over with grape towers, baguettes, figs and pears on burgundy velvet. At the seating chart, grape topiaries stood in stone urns against the abbey wall.

Dinner moved inside, under the vaults. Long tables in white linen held the candelabras, lace-trimmed menus closed with wax seals from Papier Drose, and table names drawn from Paris. The night ended with a champagne tower, a white tiered cake and late-night burgers passed on the dance floor, a fitting nod to Leanne's American side.
