La Bastide de Toursainte ~ Historic Charm for a South of France Wedding

Romanticism is a perception. A dance which mingles love and beauty. For us, beauty is the light; soft, warm and may be wistful. Love is a bright pink color, acidulous like a last kiss of summer. This is our wedding definition, a pinch of light on a lover’s heart. The result is the alliance of elegance and a soft design…  Photography by Marinella de Castro / Event Planning + Design by White Eden Weddings

A loving soul needs a body to exist. We chose La Bastide de Toursainte in the South of France to create this meeting. It’s an historical venue with a secular charm. Some leaves on the floor which testify to the passing of time, some cracks on typical Provence walls, proof that love can resist everything. 

What would love be without candlesticks and crystal glasses ? We wanted something chic and simple for the table, but always with this bright pink color touch. Flowers by Mademoiselle Jules deliver an intoxicating perfume and the color hides lover’s eyes while flames dance at the rhythm of hearts.

Beautiful stationery and calligraphy created by Silent Word Studio comes perfectly to the table. To immortalize every moment of this autumnal session, we chose Marinella De Castro, who knew, by her photographic talent, how to bring out the beauty of the accessories, flowers and the lovely bride. Her luminous stare through the lens of her film camera to sublimate love in every detail as with the dress by La Sposa.

The light caresses the bride’s sweet face, thanks to the artistry of the simple makeup of Karine Brossard, who also did the elegant hairdressing.

Finally, the light of sunset comes… to conclude this sweet session setting hearts ablaze like the passion of a new life for two.
