An Intimate Celebration in the Hills of Provence

A long table, late-summer light, and a wedding built around good food and even better company.

An Intimate Celebration in the Hills of Provence

A day designed around a table

When Amelia and Theo first described their wedding, they didn’t talk about décor or schedules. They talked about dinner: who would sit next to whom, what would be served, and how long they wanted everyone to stay.

Vows beneath the olive trees

The ceremony took place in the shade of an old olive grove, with guests on mismatched chairs and the cicadas providing the only music. It was short, personal, and completely unhurried.

Dancing after dark

As the sun went down, strings of warm light came on above the long table. Speeches drifted into laughter, and laughter drifted into dancing. Nobody looked at the time until well after midnight.

A final thought

Some days don’t need a grand plan. They need good people and enough time to enjoy them.
