A Starry Night in Sotogrande

Mix a lot of Australians with a crowd of Irish and throw in a golden wheelbarrow full of beer and you have a party made!  What a lot of fun this fabulous wedding was of Shanelle and Paddy, held in the picturesque grounds of the polo club in Sotogrande.

You may recall, for our avid followers, the sad tale of Shanelle and Paddy's friends who were horrifically attacked earlier this year and sadly one of them could not make it to the wedding but everyone was there from as far afield as Australia, to help Shanelle and Paddy celebrate their memorable wedding day.

Shanelle had of course been sidetracked before her wedding so she left us to sweat over the details!  We had a lot of fun creating this gorgeous wedding, using a lace, gold and pearl theme with blush, pale pink and ivory colours.  Shanelle was up for anything that was going to make her smile on her big day, from a retro sweet candy bar for a sweet toothed Paddy, to giant balloons, the hugely popular flips flops and fun photo booth.

After a beautiful church ceremony, we headed off to the polo grounds to enjoy a cocktail under the trees, here we kept the details more rustic with some of Isabel's wonderfully creative signs, a lovely table seating plan made on a wooden background using a selection of our frames, the famous golden wheelbarrow full of iced beers and of course we managed to throw in a bit of sparkle with our gorgeous gold sequin table runners on the cocktail tables.

The dinner and dancing was up at the main restaurant and set in a marquee, although we were at the end of May, the evenings here can still be chilly and a marquee was a good excuse to add in some more sparkle and twinkle with fairy lights and chandeliers.  The sparkle and twinkle continued to the tables which were dressed with ivory vintage lace runners, gold charger plates, , soft pink blush napkins which matched the gold tiffany seat covers, mirrors with beautiful blush, ivory and pink floral arrangements on, vintage style gold frames for table names and finished off with strings of pearls and gold tealights.

The team at Cancha, headed up by Justo were amazing, the food was delicious and the party got into full swing with Monkey Tennis leading the music followed by Rob the DJ, who was in heaven having been positioned again near the candy bar!  Guests were entertained all evening and had a ball at the photo booth.

This was a perfect wedding day for such deserving clients, we had a ball, the whole day was filled with laughter and smiles with such a fun crowd all having a lovely time.  A congratulations to our fabulous suppliers whom without their professionalism and experience we could not create our dream weddings.
