Destination Wedding in Barcelona by Reviva Weddings

Earlier this year we were contacted by Sharon and Eoghan to ask for help with planning their wedding in Barcelona. Sharon had become overwhelmed with trying to plan her destination wedding and realised she needed some help in order to get her up to and through her day.

After a few emails we were booked and Carla flew to Barcelona to familiarise herself with Sharon´s wedding including a visit to the venue, introducing herself to the booked suppliers, finalising all the details and make sure no stone was left unturned.

At this time as well Carla took the opportunity to make sure all the suppliers were up to a high standard and found some new ones as well to add to our Barcelona Weddings portfolio.

Carla took over Sharon´s paperwork, budgets, deposits to be paid, etc and
shortly after this Carla was back on a plane, clutching as many decorations as she could from our shop, and settled in ready for the wedding day.

Despite a stressful start to planning her wedding, Sharon was calmed by the fact she had the ever efficient Carla next to her side and a fabulous wedding day was had by all. You must click on the link below to see this wonderful wedding in all it´s glory!

Here is a lovely email received from Sharon and Eoghan shortly after their wedding upon return from their probably well deserved honeymoon!

Dear Carla

Would you believe this is the first evening I have bought my laptop home since the honeymoon as I overdosed on gmail coming up to the wedding so I had enough for at least a few weeks!

I had a fantastic time and would not change a thing, but I can honestly say it was more stressful and so much more work than I ever thought it would be, I don´t know how you do it dealing with stressed out brides everyday?

The fact we had to organise everything vs having a hotel was immense but to be honest I could not imagine a more perfect venue and god must have been smiling on us to have such a perfect day - we really were blessed.

Our guests are still raving about the day, it was fantastic and we both loved it. Having you there was such a relief and to be able to share the pressure with you was what got me through the days beforehand.

You were fantastic Carla, I know I was stressed out of my mind but we really did have a magical day. I will be singing your praises to all who will listen!

I will send on some photos when the official ones are through,
all the best Sharon and Eoghan xxx

Our thanks to Loughran Wedding Photography for the wonderful images and our congratulations to Sharon and Eoghan.

Old Friends become New Friends Wedding!

Well what can I say about this beautiful couple, Sue and Gunther, well actually I could say a lot!

Sue loves chocolate and Gunther is a charming and by all accounts a good dancer!

When Sue first emailed me about her wedding here in Spain we had a few rather strange co-oindences, the first one that she lived in Camberley where I grew up and secondly and even more bizzarly was that her H2B, Gunther, had worked with Anoulka, my assistant, as a dancer years ago so along with our joint love of chocolate and cakes the relationship was off to a head start for this beautiful wedding :)

Sue already had most things planned out and was lucky to have her sister living here so life became much easier planning a wedding abroad, but she wanted a very simple and elegant fresh white and green slightly vintage style wedding.

We used dreamy white hydrangeas mixed with fresh green viburnums and the effect was stunning along with Sue´s beautiful birdcages, hearts, napkins rings and candles it really was a beautiful table design and we loved it.

Sue and Gunther got married at the prettiest church, La Virginia, here in Marbella and had their reception at the Hacienda San Jose.

Our thanks to Talia at Thoroughly Gorgeous for these stunning photos of a beautiful couple and our thanks to Sue and Gunther for contacting us and becoming such good friends and of course reaquainting themselves with old friends, we look forward to seeing you both in September for a cocktail and chocolate :) Fi if you want to replicate the cakes for September we would all be highly delighted!

A Fabulous Flamenco Style Wedding at Hacienda San Jose, Mijas, Spain

As June hotted up, so did our gorgeous weddings and we had such fun designing this stunning wedding for Anna and Andrew with this amazing dramatic flamenco theme, and you cannot imagine my excitement when Anna first sent me photos of her dress! She did apparently have it made here in Spain.

This was going to have the real Andalucian wow factor and we are thrilled to receive the photos from Andreas Holm.

I will have to get more photos of the details we created for this wedding including the spanish fan table seating plans and menus, the black and white damask table covers along with red rose accents on the tables and this beautiful cake created by Sue at Wedding Cakes in Spain.

Anna´s stunning hair and make up was created by Caroline and Karen our talented beauty duo, with a beautiful ceremony by Lizzie Marriage

Here is the lovely testimonial that Anna and Andrew sent to us all, as they had planned this fantastic wedding from Australia they really did need a team here to support them and help them execute their ideas into a reality.

I would like to thank you all for making Andrew and my wedding such a wonderful occasion. Organising a wedding from the other side of the world can of course be challenging but you all made it run so smoothly and made me feel that any queries I had could be addressed and no request was too small. I cannot speak highly enough for all your hard work and making Andrew and my dream wedding a reality.

We love Spain and wanted our wedding to reflect this and I think we accomplished just that.

Our thanks again to Andreas Holms for allowing us to share this stunning wedding with you.
