Nina and Carl's journey began in Aix en Provence, where fate brought them together at the American university. Their shared passion for education and a deep connection to the city made it the perfect location for their wedding. In the heart of Provence, amid the scenic beauty of Villa Baulieu , the love story of Nina and Carl unfolded in a beautiful three-day celebration that united two cultures and families from different corners of the world and captured by Visuals By Abbi and Tom Sienna Wedding, and planned with the assistance of Rachel Sword Weddings. With Nina's Mexican heritage and Carl's Palestinian roots, the couple's wedding day was a vibrant fusion of French luxury and traditions.

For this special day, each of the flower girls wore matching white dresses fit for princesses complemented by youthful hairstyles that pulled the hair back from their faces while still keeping a natural style.
On the couple's wedding day, the venue's grand fountain adorned with blooming flowers by Flowdles served as the backdrop for the religious ceremony. The bridesmaids wore neutral shades while the groomsmen wore classic black. This neutrality created the perfect pop for the bride's stark white dress and all-white bridal bouquet.
The atmosphere of the day was enlivened throughout by the captivating music of a Mariachi band, adding a touch of Latin flair.
Amidst the picturesque rose garden and maze, Nina and Carl posed for their couple's photos as the sunset. Nina wore a dress by Pronovias, complete with a deep cut sweetheart neckline. Her natural glam hair and makeup was courtesy of Carol Bonnet. Carl wore a classic tuxedo accented with a white jacket and black bowtie.
Guests gathered for an enchanting outdoor dinner under twinkling fairy lights, toasting with wine from the chateau's own vineyard. The dance floor, adorned with the couple's logo, became a place for joyous celebrations and unforgettable memories.
