Provencal wedding at the Bastide de Laurence
Autumn in Provence — The romantic wedding of Mollie & Eduardo
Sometimes, the most beautiful stories begin on the other side of the world. Mollie and Eduardo's story begins in Brazil, at a birthday party where, between a few translated words and exchanged glances, a connection is made. Ten years later, the American from California and the Brazilian choose to reunite their loved ones in the heart of Provence to celebrate their union in a setting that is both romantic and timeless.
Bathed in the soft light of autumn, their wedding takes place in the elegant The Bastide of LaurenceConceived remotely over nearly a year with Stéphanie Fayolle de WEP in ProvenceThe celebration unveils a bucolic and refined atmosphere: a bilingual ceremony under a majestic tree, an accordion playing La Vie en Rose and an elegant reception in the courtyard of a Provençal farmhouse.
A delicate and profoundly romantic interlude, captured with poetry by Clark Brewer Photography. Mollie and Eduardo tell us about the behind-the-scenes story of this destination wedding, envisioned as a Provençal dream…
The initial meeting
Mollie is an American from California who loves children. She went to Brazil for a few months for work and met the handsome Brazilian Eduardo at a mutual friend's birthday party. Since Mollie didn't speak a word of Portuguese, Eduardo acted as her translator that evening.
Mollie thought she would stay in Brazil for 5 months… But Eduardo changed her mind. They've been together for 10 years since that first night.

The marriage proposal
At the Hotel Fasano in Punta del Este, Uruguay. With an incredible view of the nature reserve. Not having yet bought the engagement ring, Eduardo made one on the spot with a sprig of lavender.
The real ring was created at the favorite designer from Mollie to Santa Barbara.
