A Fairytale Dream at the Magical Marbella Club Part 1

I am not entirely sure where to start with this magical fairytale wedding of Holly and Jamie we designed and planned last weekend at the breathtaking Marbella Club.

I think a good place to start would be with Holly and Jamie, such a charming and fun couple whom we had the pleasure of working with.  Right from day one when we first met with them 2 years ago, they knew their vision and dream and worked hard with us to help us achieve their perfect day for them communicating with us everything they hoped for and expected and how delighted we are to receive such compliments shortly after their wedding day that their day surpassed everything they could have ever imagined!

It really was a fairytale day dream come true with Holly's absolutely show stopping dress taking centre stage, we will tell you more about the dress in our next blog post.

The Marbella Club truly lived up to it's long standing reputation delivering more than a 5 star dining and service experience, headed by Anna and her team they worked hard with Carla to make sure everything was perfect.

Holly's wedding design was a blush, soft pink and ivory colour scheme mixed with golds and some lovely details.  The flowers, created by Loraine, were stunning and Holly provided lots of gorgeous details from a mix of mother of pearl shell placecard holders to some very pretty napkin rings from Zara Home in pearls and golds.  Jamie worked on the stationery continuing the theme from the invitations into the actual day to provide the placecards, table names and Order of Service booklets.

The gold tiffany chairs were hired in from Pedro Navarro and we finished off all the details and decorations such as gold charger plates, florals, candles, table seating plan set into a vintage white frame, Bali parasols, fans, confetti, chair decorations, lace table cloth for the about us table, a beautiful keepsake box and a fairy lit garden filled with lanterns and candles including our new gorgeous gold lanterns from Zara home surrounding the pool.

The lighting and staging was provided by Nigel at Chez Vous and a whole host of entertainment and surprises were in store for Holly and Jamie's guests. 

We will share more details in Part 2 of this Fairytale wedding and our thanks to all the suppliers who helped create such a beautiful wedding and to our fabulous team for another show stopping wedding.

A Secret Garden Wedding Inspiration

As a young girl my magical world was provided by reading books and I was transported by my imagination into different worlds. I loved books and the wonderful places they would take me to that filled my dreams as I slept.   

Sometimes I wonder if it is this that made me want to create magical spaces as I became an adult.

Enid Blyton´s Faraway Tree,The Wishing Chair, My Family and Other Animals by Gerald Durrell and the Famous Five are all some of many books I was fortunate enough to read as a small child and absolutely loved and I am so lucky my mother encouraged our reading of these enchanting stories.  

One of my favourite novels was The Secret Garden by Frances Hogdson Burnett, I so loved the mysterious wonder of this book and what the Secret Garden held within it´s walls as it was unlocked and discovered.

A Secret Garden wedding for me having read this book would be difficult to achieve with everything my imagination conjures up but I adore this photo shoot created by Hannah Gooch and Sarah Gawler featured on Love My Dress, it has that lovely mysterious quality about it that is so evocative of how I imagine a Secret Garden wedding.

I love the combination of nature and the glamour of the dress.  The styling details are beautifully done so I had to share this gorgeous and magical secret garden inspiration with you :)  If you have any beautiful childhood memories you would like to incorporate into your wedding day, we would love to hear about them.
