A Sneak Peek of our Gorgeous Private Villa Wedding in Marbella

What a wonderful whirlwind of weddings May and June has been, with a pretty wet start to our wedding season thankfully it soon warmed up to the Mediterranean temperatures we know and love!

I cannot believe we are now into July, goodness knows where the past two months have gone, and we are now eagerly awaiting photos of our weddings we have worked so hard on in the past few months to share with you.  

Can you imagine our delight when we received these sneak peek images of some of our decoration from our wedding last weekend at a private villa in Marbella.

We adore this wedding and cannot wait to share the rest of it with you.

From the pre-wedding cocktail party at the fabulous Gran Gatsby overlooking the Puerto Banus to the stunning details of such a fabulous wedding day in a private villa in Marbella, followed by a very cool tropical themed pool party with an cute icecream station and giant inflatable pineapples and flamingos!  I was in heaven despite spending hours blowing up inflatables!!

Thank you to Agata Jensen for sending us a few treats this week of our work and looking forward to seeing more images of such a fabulous weekend designed and produced by Reviva Weddings and thank you to my amazing team for your devotion and humour during a very busy time!

Sparkly Winter Wedding, Villa El Cid, Marbella

When Elaine and Kevin first contacted us it was to help them style and decorate their wedding day, the rest was pretty much booked from the church ceremony to the cocktail and reception at the villa they had hired for the week and Elaine had been picking my brains during her wedding planning to get some help and direction when she was booking suppliers.

Elaine had some gorgeous ideas for decorating her dream day using purples and deep grape colours mixed with some softer pinks, silvers, lots of sparkle, fairy lights and twinkle, I was in heaven as we worked on the details together and very excited when Elaine finally hired us as knew this would be a beautiful wedding.

Elaine then hit what I call a wedding planning wall.

As we had got on well chatting decoration she then hired us to finish off her planning and oversee the actual wedding day.

We took over her wedding arrangements, which was easy as we already knew all their suppliers, and made sure that every element of her day was covered and finalised so she could relax and enjoy the day.

It started as a typical November day, slightly cloudy, some showers threatening and everyone looking up to the skies all day and checking their weather apps!  We had a touch of rain in the morning but soon the skies cleared and the rest of the day was beautiful.

Elaine and Kevin got themselves ready in different parts of El Cid villa and it was lovely to see them so excited and nervous at the same time.  

The ceremony was quite early for Spanish standards, at 1pm at the Encarnacion Church in the Orange Square, so after a busy morning everyone set off to Marbella for the wedding.

I left my capable team at the villa waving their wands to create Elaine and Kevin's dream day, Pedro Navarro's team were working their magic in the conservatory hanging up white drapes, decorating the tables with some gorgeous florals and hanging beautiful glass bulbs with tealights.  

Everything was being overseen by Rocio making sure each detail was finalised from the addition of our silver charger plates, the chairs decorated with deep grape sashes and secured with diamante brooches, menus set on each place setting and finished off with our grape napkins decorated with diamante napkin rings.

Gusto catering were whipping up a culinary storm in the kitchens ready for when the guests arrived back to the villa starting with a cocktail and canapes and then a fabulous 3 course meal finished off with expresso martinis and a dessert station.

I was overseeing the church ceremony and have to admit I had to walk out during one song as tears welled up, I was thinking of the recent loss of my father, it was an emotional day and a beautiful ceremony.

Afterwards everyone popped into the bar opposite the church for a drink and Elaine and Kevin had some fabulous photos taken around Marbella with Jeremy Standley.

Once back at the villa, the guests were treated to a fantastic reception during the afternoon and evening followed by dancing well into the night with the Midnight Mechanics.

We finalised all Elaine's arrangements after the wedding to make sure her paperwork was registered and she left Spain with her marriage certificate.

Our thanks to Jeremy Standley for sharing such fabulous photos with us and our congratulations to Elaine and Kevin.

Fabulous Indian Wedding Celebration in Marbella

We are so very excited to share a sneak preview of our fabulous Indian wedding last week here in Marbella.

Everyone knows I adore glitter and I was treated to such a wonderful array of the most beautiful outfits and so much sparkle I was in sparkle heaven!

As our beautiful bride, Jigna, married her handsome and utterly charming Raja, Shamir, we planned and decorated each event from the welcome party to the Mendhi, followed by a fantastic Sangeet evening with some wonderful dancing and last but not least the most amazing wedding day.

These beautiful photos were sent to us today by the hugely talented team at Nani de Perez so we had to share!   

We cannot wait to see the rest of this fabulous wedding and our congratulations to Jigna and Shamir whom I hope are now having a lovely rest on their honeymoon.
