A Beautiful Wedding at the Hacienda de San Rafael

We posted our testimonial from Claire yesterday, but today we were able to go onto the link to see the photos of this beautifully designed wedding we had created for Claire. 

I think what is slightly unusual, but does happen to use quite a lot, is that we did not meet Claire prior to this wedding, we did everything via email to envisage the style, the look, etc, although we did make a mad dash to the venue shortly before the wedding as I hate decorating a venue without seeing it beforehand.

The wedding was held in the stunning Hacienda de San Rafael, just outside of Seville, with a church ceremony at a very impressive church in the centre of Cabezas de San Juan.

 It would be difficult here to ignore the fabulous vibrant pinks of the bouganvilla at the Hacienda so Claire had decided to use this to compliment the wedding design. 

Claire's bridal flowers were a beautiful shade of pink, and we used dolce vita roses which were huge, the bridal bouquet was really quite heavy!

We then added in all the details from the decorated cava bottles at the church for the guests to enjoy on the coaches back to the venue, to the fans at the church which were very useful given it was 48 degrees and some fun confetti cones for the guests to throw when the bridal party came back to the Hacienda.

Once back at this amazing venue for the dinner, we had decorated it with lots of fairy lights and our famous lantern and candles to add that romantic feel to the evening.

We loved Claire's photos which she had sent me before the day and we hung them along a washing line between some lemon trees by the bar.

I think from these fabulous photos by Jeremy Enness you can see the style and creativity we managed to create via email for a very beautifully designed and hot day!

We created another wedding here one week later for Imogen, and are dying to see the photos, as this was a very different style wedding with the ceremony at the venue, navy bridesmaids with a very vintage style to the flowers and decorations using sahara roses and golds.

Olive Green Wedding at La Finca de Cortesin

Back in July we posted a wedding at Finca de Cortesin.

Having nagged Liv, here are some of the happy couple's photos for us to enjoy.

A beautiful olive green theme with cala lilies, love the girls with their sunglasses on for the photo shoot and the cute bridesmaid :)

We created all the lovely bridal flowers using ivory roses and cala lilies, and continued this theme with the olive green and calas. The fans were decorated with olive ribbons and cala lilies with a diamante details, the chairs were dressed with olive sashes, we created simple centrepieces with cala lilies in each tall vase with olive stones in the bottom, and completely lit up the venue for the evening with our lanterns and candles.

We lined the fabulous pool with lantern bags and candles, I was amazed by just how stunning this venue looked at night.

Liv is keeping busy now with planning her new husband's 40th, it is always nice to hear our brides are busy after their weddings!

PS Am nagging many photographers here at the moment for our weddings we have done this year, sure they probably all hate me at the moment for adding that extra stress, but as and when they send me photos I will post them, as we have done some fabulous weddings this summer :) x

Beautiful wedding in Private Villa in Benahavis

We were delighted to be involved in the decoration of a beautiful wedding in a private villa (that I want to live in!) in Benahavis organised by Sue at Spanish Dream Weddings.

For more photos of this wedding visit Jeremy Standley's website.

Eventful though, the next day we had gone to clear down this wedding and popped into see Jeremy for a cup of tea, when there was a nasty crash outside his apartment, having spent an hour helping out the the aftermath, we arrived at the villa to melting candles! C'est la vie!

A beautiful wedding in Mijas

It is with a huge gratitude to Jeremy and his lovely assistant Jenny, that we are able to publish these wonderful images of one of our weddings in Mijas in April. These images, for me, make my work worthwhile, it captures all the thought, design and hard work that has gone into creating a dream day for my brides, to see it happening and to see it afterwards in such beautiful images, makes mine one of the most rewarding jobs:)

Notice I am in one of the photos doing our famous tree decoration projects! Guess which one?! If I can find a tree and decorate it I will :)

It is a pleasure to work with such an outstanding photographer and to check out Jeremy's beautiful slideshow, along with some fab spanish guitar music (he still has not told me who the music is!) http://www.jeremystandley.com/slideshows/Leilanieric

well worth a visit :)

For this wedding we never met the bride beforehand, she was based in San Francisco and was organising her wedding from the states, a hugely admirable lady, who managed to pull together some of the best suppliers of the wedding industry here and fly her family in from all over the world, to create her dream day.

I was delighted when she asked me to help her co-ordinate her day and I have to say it was a fabulous one, we even made the newspapers with this one.

Our sky lanterns hit the local news as the latest UFO's to invade the Costa Del Sol!!!

We even drove some of the guests home how is that for customer service!
