Gorgeous French Style Shabby Chic Wedding at the Hacienda San Jose

Wedding world has truly descended here in Marbella now we are into the lovely month of June and yesterday someone switched on the heat button! May was still slightly iffy but thankfully all our weddings came through unscathed and our beautiful French style shabby chic wedding was no exception and the storm held off until the early hours of the morning at 4am, long enough to everyone to have a fabulous day:)

Over the past month we have created some beautiful weddings and now we are receiving the photos we will be able to share these with you. We loved this wedding we created and designed with Sarah´s ideas to pull them all together. We were working away to create fans and parasols for the church in Marbella, the cocktail blackboard, to the gorgeous table centrepieces with those die for fluffy hydrangeas, beautifully simple yet stunning. The bridal flowers were a shabby chic ivory rose bouquet and the bridesmaids were the huge ivory fluffy peonies that smelt divine.

Anoulka created our fabulous flip flop sign for our basket and we are in love now with our new Mr & Mrs signs for the backs of Fiestasol´s new style chairs!

Cake Marbella provided yet more yummy cupcakes, without again making extra for us!! I will have words and apparently the garden was twinkling in the evening with all our lovely fairy lights, lanterns and candles, a truly magical wedding for a truly special couple and our warm congratulations to Sarah and Daragh.

Our thanks to Owen Farrell for sending us these delightful images of the day, without these we could not share our work with you.

Our thanks also to Heather at Fiestasol who yet again, as I practically live with them in the summer!, delighted the guests with Heather´s efficient planning and catering.

Classical Violinist Naiara Castillejo

Naiara is one of my lovely friends I met a long time ago when I first started my company and we have remained firm friends ever since, she is a truly inspirational and passionate person who loves her work and lives life to the full.

Naiara is the most amazing violinist and performs all over the world at classical concerts and we are honoured to have her here, based in Malaga, to offer her stunning musical talent for weddings with her beautiful violin playing that just brings out the goosebumps every time.

You cannot help but feel the excitement and emotion as Naiara starts to play at a wedding ceremony, it is music that relaxes and eases the tension as the big day starts, it is truly amazing and one of my favourites everytime for a wedding with this divine romantic music drifting through the church or ceremony area.

Naiara has her music company based here in Malaga called Festibodas offering a range of classical music options for your wedding and it is well worth taking a trip over to hear her music. Naiara also speaks perfect English so if you are looking for something truly beautiful for your ceremony do get in touch it will be worth it just to hear her play.

A Happy Ending at the Finca de la Concepcion

I first met Catriona last year as she had booked us to create her decorations and flowers for her wedding.  She was due to get married in Nerja but as time transpired it appeared her wedding planned for Nerja was turning into a fiasco and was unlikely to be held the weekend she had planned. 

Eventually Catriona wiped the slate clean and started again using us as not only her wedding decorator but her planners. 

An action planned was drawn up by Carla and the San Pedro church was booked for the weekend she had planned, then a venue search was underway, Catriona settled on the fabulous Finca de la Concepcion as her setting for her beautiful day. 

Having secured these two elements of her wedding all the other suppliers were booked and the wedding details were underway.  LePanto caterers were astounding and the food was to die for, Naiara the violinist with her beautiful church music, a truly talented lady, the  hair and make up girls were brilliant and a fabulous vintage car was booked.

We created fabulous white puff ball pew ends set on stands for the church and matched the table centrepieces.  Every detail was organised from the name tags on the napkins to the beautifully designed cake from Fi.  We used a green and purple theme to lift the white puff balls and of course lots of tealights and lanterns everywhere to turn the venue into a magical evening.

Having had a bad start here, the Fairy Godmother of the Costa Del Sol waved her magic wand again to create a perfect day!

Our thanks to Jennifer Jane, associate photographer at Jeremy Standley for yet again providing us with such fabulous photos.
