Provence Wedding By Xavier Navarro

By Magnolia Rouge

I had to pick my jaw up off the ground the first time I laid eyes on this wedding by Xavier Navarro! I mean it's seriously swoonworthy � and trust me that is not a word I'm prompted to use often at all! If I didn't know any better I'd say I was featuring the wedding of hollywood superstars� I mean these two and their gorgeous wedding are just insanely gorgeous! You can also see this feature in the current issue of Magnolia Rouge Magazine.

For Elizabeth and Michael their wedding was about much more than just themselves. They focused on the love that transported family and friends across an ocean to celebrate with them in the breathtaking surroundings of Provence in the South of France, in the process creating life-long memories. The bride says �Provence is one of my favourite places on earth and once you arrive, it begs you to leave all other worries behind and embrace the beauty of the landscape and present moment. Chateau de Massillan was simply a dream - perfectly elegant and magical and had a very odd way of making you feel as if you always belonged there�.

�Fashion has always been a strong part of who I am so the dress was an important dream of mine. I wanted a dress I could breathe in, for starters, where I could spend all hours of the night dancing and live each moment of the wedding day fully! I found the J. Mendel dress at Bergdorf Goodman with my mother and sister. I loved its' simple elegance with a twist of something different - when I tried it on and turned around to find my mom and sister in tears, I knew it was the one."

During the ceremony, Michael and I turned around to see all of our loved ones in the congregation, under the beautiful plane trees with a soft wind blowing and the beautiful Chateau in the background. It was so special!�
