An Andalucian Wedding at Puente Romano Hotel

Laura and Fred chose the Puente Romano Hotel as their wedding venue, to capture their dream day of an Andalucian wedding.
Both of them have parents that own holiday homes in Andalucia and they wanted to capture the charm of the white washed villages complete with geranium clad walls and terracotta tiles. The Puente Romano along with it's 5 star service and food and the beautifully established gardens made this venue the perfect location for their dream day.
The La Virginia Church, just 5 minutes drive away and set in a breathtaking Andalucian village setting was the perfect location for their ceremony.
Having booked the church and the venue, Laura and Fred needed to finish off all the details, decorations, music, cars and someone to be there to make sure everything ran smoothly throughout the day. We took over!!!
The wedding theme was pulled together using the hot pinks of the fabulous bouganvilla that grows here in Spain with a slight, but not overkill of a butterfly theme. Laura chose favour boxes for her guests in a butterfly filigree detail to bring in a slight element of lace detail that was also on her fabulous dress.
Carla, our coordinator, as always amazingly efficient and charming and filled in all the gaps organising the final details for Laura and Fred and holding their hands throughout the day to make sure it all ran smoothly, Laura has since said she wished Carla had been there from day one!
A wonderful day with superb service from Puente Romano, and many happy guests commenting on how fabulous it all was.
I would like to give credit to Loraine for the amazing flowers, Susana for dressing this so beautifully for me and Carla for just yet again being so efficient and organised! I have a dedicated team behind me that are able to pull together such wonderful occasions and they are always acknowledged.
Our thanks to Jennifer Jane, an associate of Jeremy Standley, for these beautiful photographs, without our photographers to capture the day our work would be long forgotten!

Fabulous Cath Kidston styled wedding at Hacienda San Jose

Never in all my years as a stylist have I ever met my match with one of my brides, and I was truly astounded by Rebecca's talent and her attention to all the details that went into styling her wedding. A girl that is definitely in the wrong job for sure.

This wedding was organised and catered for by Heather at Fiestasol, beautifully photographed by Kris McGuirk and apparently, as I always leave far too early, a fabulous night of dancing followed with Rob the DJ.

Everything you see here was created by Rebecca, a graphic designer based in the UK.
I already knew this was going to be a stunning wedding, as Rebecca has been working hard on producing a portfolio of stationery for our shop here in Spain last winter, and I had been enlightened to most of what she was planning, but she still left my jaw dropping when I saw the amount of work she had put into her own fabulous day.

Nothing was left to chance, even the baby's nappy pants were styled with the baby's name and she was dressed in a mini Cath Kidston, but we do not have photos of this which is a shame, hoping we will get some though as it was so cute!

We filled in the gaps with Rebecca's flowers and dressed the tables for her, but her attention to the details was truly amazing from the table names with photos on, to the personalised sweet jars for every guests.

The fabulous candy and icecream bar for when hot guests arrived back from the church, the mirrored disco ball, the personalised wooden initials, the fairy lights her electrician father installed the day before, the list was endless.

Needless to say if Rebecca ever decides to up roots and move to Spain, we have already offered her a job. Rebecca is also promoting her stationery through our shop here in Spain so if you would like the same attention to details and stationery created here please do contact us for more information.

Our congratulations to Rebecca and Rob and hoping Rebecca is now having a well earned rest on her honeymoon!

Fabulous Wedding Cakes

I was racking my brains tonight as to how I met Fi from Sweet Things by Fi, and it was at the Fuengirola Wedding Fair last November.

I am a creative person and can spot another dedicated artistic professional within a mile that is truly commited to their art, whether it be styling, interiors, photography, writing skills or cakes.

Whatever their particular skill is, these fabulous characters live, eat and dream their professional lives, it is not a job, it is a passion which shows in their products.

Fi is one of these people that is truly dedicated to her profession and such a lovely fun person to get to know.

Fi recently launched her website and we have recommended her and used her for many of our weddings now, in one word fabulous:) Some of Fi's cakes are on display in our shop and are to die for apart from the fact they are dummy cakes!

If you are looking for the most up to date and modern wedding cake maker here, check out Fi's new site http://www.sweetthingsbyfi.com/.

All Fi's cakes are individually designed and are bespoke so email her for more information.

It is a delight to know and work with Fi and an experience if you meet her and her mother after a long lunch :)!!!!!!!

The Wedding Season Starts

As our wedding season here in Marbella starts we were delighted to create and decorate this fabulous wedding for one of our clients here in Marbella. The stunning setting was at his private home here in Marbella situated right by the sea.

It was a three day event with a beach theme using starfish as their main decorations with red and white as the main wedding colours.

We created a tropical theme for their pre wedding spanish style party with many flower displays for the house and the tables for the first day followed by some fabulous decorations for the actual wedding day including the beautiful setting with the gazebo and the topiary trees lining the pool either side to set off the gazebo. We used the shell and starfish theme throughout the wedding from the ceremony candle to the table centrepieces which were scattered with small starfish and table crystals.

A beautiful and fabulous wedding which we thoroughly enjoyed creating and of course the sun is finally shining again in Marbella.

Our thanks to Jennifer at Jeremy Standley for coming along to take some fantastic photos.

There are many more to come!
