Joyce and Robin’s celebration is spellbinding in many ways. It was a seamless blend of couture elegance, seaside romance, and old-world French charm. Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild is grand, breathtaking, and unapologetically beautiful. Joyce became the vision of grace when she wore an off-shoulder Elie Saab Bridal, perfectly sculpted with a dramatic train that floated like poetry down the aisle.

This amazing celebration unfolded at Mount Leuse, perched high above the glittering Mediterranean. Nadia Fry Events created a breathtaking floral installation that hugged the landscape rather than towering over it—soft, dreamy clusters of peonies, garden roses, and wisps of wild blooms wrapped the altar space in tender blush, ivory, and champagne hues. This was more than a destination wedding. This is more like a coastal love symphony.

Accompanied by the rhythmic energy of an Indian dhol and the soulful strumming of sitar and tabla, this ceremony was rich in culture yet fresh in style. Sita, glowing in an intricately beaded Sabyasachi Mukherjee lehenga sourced from India, floated down the aisle framed by a blush-and-green Mandap adorned with cascading florals by Mariella Aprosio. Her bridal party carried incense instead of bouquets. This is a small yet powerful nod to spiritual grace. Edward, in bespoke London tailoring, matched her elegance effortlessly.
