HAPPILY EVER AFTER
A BRIDAL STORYBOOK
WEDDING WEEKEND IN PORTUGAL
Jewelry, Legacy & Love with Heller Jewelers Some weddings feel like fairy tales from the very first detail — and for Molly and Eric, that feeling began not with a dress or a venue, but with a ring. Eric proposed with two rings — an oval eternity band they chose together from the Heller Jewelers Collection, and Molly’s grandmother’s round solitaire diamond he thoughtfully had reset in a modern setting. “It was the perfect blend of something new and something timeless,” Molly shares. That mix of heritage and personal style became the heart of their wedding weekend at Forte da Cruz, a beachfront castle in Estoril, Portugal. “The moment we saw it, we knew it was the one. It was modern and elegant, with just enough historic charm to feel magical.” The Rings That Tell the Story When choosing wedding bands, both gravitated toward pieces with personal meaning. Molly chose a round diamond eternity band in yellow gold, with alternating carat weights and compass settings — tying in the gold signet ring she wears every day. Eric selected a sleek tantalum band with a yellow gold interior, his first piece of jewelry. “I love that it echoes the gold in mine,” Molly says. They plan to engrave his band on their first anniversary — a romantic tradition to mark time and memory. Elegant Jewelry with a Dress Worthy of the Setting On her wedding day, Molly wore a jaw-dropping natural diamond line necklace from the Heller Jewelers Collection. “It was one of the most special parts of the day,” she says. “Wearing it made me feel beautiful and confident, and so connected to my family and friends.” Her bridal look also included her signet ring, diamond studs, and both engagement rings. Molly wore The Harlow by Watters, a gown that perfectly echoed the duality of her wedding weekend: romance with a hint of edge. “The off-the-shoulder lace sleeves and thigh-high slit struck a balance between vintage charm and modern drama,” she explains. “Because of the lace sleeves, I opted not to wear a bracelet — just the necklace and earrings to frame the neckline.” With a statement dress and striking venue, her bridal jewelry was elegant without distraction, timeless yet daring.
