Elegant Whites at La Quinta Golf & Country Club, Marbella

This week we did a lovely wedding at the La Quinta Golf & Country Club, it was the first wedding we have done here and it is such a beautiful, elegant setting.

Although it was hot outside and the welcome cocktail was set up on the terrace I can imagine, not just in the summer, but for a winter wedding in Marbella this would be a perfect venue.

We created these fabulous martini arrangements (without the fear they would blow over!) which complimented the elegant surroundings and managed to stop by for a quick cocktail on the terrace only to be serenaded by the extremely talented Matt McGurk on his flamenco guitar, wonderful :)

In fact I have had the pleasure of hearing Matt twice this week as we were at a wedding together two days earlier in Mijas!

Many more weddings to post and many more photographers to nag:) David you are one of them!

Lots of weddings coming up now in September, then our Costa Del Sol Bride of the Year wedding in October so please do check back to see all our weddings here in the south of Spain.

Birdcages for wedding centrepieces

Here are some lovely images sent to us by one of our brides in Granada who hired our birdcages for her wedding centrepieces in May, obviously a truly beautiful wedding and we are impressed as to how they were decorated.

I have suggested this centrepiece for a wedding at Tamisa Golf Hotel, I was there as well today! At this venue they are not allowed candles so perhaps a lovely birdcage like this with battery operated fairy lights inside to create a romantic table centrepiece could be the way forward!?

Amazing Wedding in Antequera

The 3rd of July was one date in our yearly calendar we were certainly looking forward to,

a most unusual wedding with two ceremonies,starting off with a catholic wedding at the church in Antequera and then followed by a Zoroastrian ceremony at the fabulous setting La Posada Del Torcal all organised by a very calm and efficient Jenny!

It was an amazingly beautiful day and we thoroughly enjoyed being involved, creating the flowers and decorations. There was some beautiful touches and details including chalk drawings on the patios, message cards, the fab letters for the trees designed and created by the Hentastiques! Don't ask!:)

Here are some of our snapshots of this amazing wedding but of course we will await the fabulous work of Jeremy to put us to shame! x

Romantic Red Wedding at Guadalmina, Marbella

As our wedding season gets underway here in Marbella, the sun shone for a lovely wedding at the fabulous Hotel Guadalmina on Friday.

The whole day had been organised by Sue and her brilliant team at Spanish Dream Weddings who had hired us to add in all the details to make this day special such as the decoration and favours, we provided co-ordinated fans for the girls and personalised cigars for the boys!

Here we are setting up a lovely dark red theme chosen by the bride.

Many of the hotels here offer a basic flower arrangement for the tables included in the wedding pack, but here we bought our glassware, table mirrors, tealights, candles and petals to transform three red roses into something much more special. Co-ordinated with our chair sashes, dressing of the overhead chandeliers and adding fairy lights into the trees with bows bought this room to life.

The happy couple also purchased some of our sky lanterns so we can't wait to see the photos of this wedding at night, I can only imagine it looked magical!

Preston Bailey - My Idol!

More fabulous table settings from the amazing Preston Bailey, I love his approach of thinking outside the box, my favourite is this water centrepiece, submerging the flowers in a huge container on the tables. Such a simple yet effective idea.

Fabulous Table Settings

Whilst surfing yet again I paid a visit to the Grace Ormonde Site and found these fabulous table settings, again the use of twigs for centrepieces, beautiful coloured linens and those chair covers are amazing. I love the aqua setting perfect for a romantic dinner for two and yet more inspiration!

Twig centrepieces for weddings

Having posted that lovely photo yesterday of the beach setting with the twig centrepieces, I found this in my archive of fabulous photos, again of twig centrepieces with tealights hanging from them. Such a stunning way to dress a wedding and again can you imagine these all twinkling at night. That cake looks rather lovely too!

I do not have the credit for this photo so if it belongs to you please let me know.

Winter Wedding Themes

I love this centrepiece idea for a winter wedding and can imagine this with the beautiful winter wedding I just posted.
