An Unforgettable Wedding

20/01/2022/

I always dreamed on getting married to the love of my life wearing the perfect wedding dress in a beautiful place. On July 31st my dream was fulfilled by marring the man of my life with the dress I imagined in an amazing setting in Girona and today I can say that it was the most incredible day of my life.

Like many other couples, it wasn’t easy to get there in a global pandemic. The preparation of the wedding was hard and full of changes and uncertainties, but finally after three date changes we were able to celebrate the love we had shared for years in an unforgettable ceremony. We got engaged in 2018 on the day of our anniversary and from that moment we knew that we wanted to have an intimate wedding with our family and closest friends and that we didn’t want to plan a complicated wedding with too much preparations. If there is one thing to learn from this pandemic, it’s that we need very little to be truly happy.

The Ceremony

The wedding ceremony took place at Mas Marroch, a 15th-century gothic farmhouse located on the outskirts of Girona, owned by the Roca brothers. We fell in love with this beautiful rustic farmhouse from the first moment that we laid eyes upon it. The wedding celebration continued in the magnificent and elegant garden that surrounds the farmhouse and the floral decorations and live music gave a very romantic touch to the wedding.

The Wedding Venue

The wedding Reception was held in the Agora, a beautiful natural pavilion that all the guests fell in love with. For the dance, which was held where the banquet took place, I changed into a beautiful and comfortable dress that allowed me to move freely and enjoy the moment.

The Wedding Dress

As for my dresses… I discovered Farah’s bridal boutique through Instagram. After months of searching and thinking about how to describe the wedding dress of my dreams, I arrived accompanied by a large group of the most important women in my life.

At the appointment, I remember Farah asking me about the wedding ceremony and the style of the wedding gown I was looking for, and to my surprise it only took a few minutes to find the dress of my dreams. All of her wedding dresses are perfect, but she captured the idea I wanted very quickly and the first wedding dress she took out was the gown that most defined my personalty. It was one of the most exciting moments in my preparations. We were all excited to see that this was finally the dress I was going to tie the knot in. Farah not only advised me on my two wedding dresses, but on all the bridal accessories I wore and she truly made me feel very special at all times.

A Mid Summer Night’s Dream Wedding of Cristina and Fran

02/02/2020/

A love story that began in February 2013, Cristina and Fran met at the Pompeu Fabra University studying Business Administration and a few years later they ended up working together in a the same company in Barcelona which led to many beautiful memories.

The Wedding Dress

Cristina wore a gorgeous off-the-shoulder Oscar de la Renta floral embroidered lace ballgown .The dramatic watteau train draping down to the floor, gave an original and spectacular feel to the dress. To complete her look, Cristiana wore a delicate long veil of silk tulle with embroidered lace trim by Homa Bridal and a pair of beautiful ivory shoes by Jimmy Choo.

The Ceremony

The wedding ceremony took place in Llerona, in the church of “Santa María de Llerona”, which is located in a very scenic environment, with the view of Montseny and Cingles de Bertí mountains. What made it truly special was the Romanesque, tiny church that dates back to the 900 AD whose “feeling of intimacy” made it the perfect place for such a special occasion.

The Wedding Reception

Shortly after the romantic church wedding, a warm reception was organised at the Masía “Can Ribas de Montbui”, located in Bigues i Riells. The Pairal Farmhouse has a long-standing family tradition, in which it is committed to highlight the environment and incredible landscapes that surrounds the area. The entrance to the farmhouse has a long corridor of cypresses, which illuminate at nightfall and that makes Can Ribas a very special place. The familiar tower, covered with Buganvilla, and other climbing plants, was the perfect setting for a fairytale wedding that lasted until the early hours of the next morning with close family and friends. Cristina and Fran provided their guests, the experience of an unforgettable night, complete with emotional speeches , spectacular gifts , soprano songs and breath-taking entertainment… all accompanied with lots of emotional and personal touches. During the ceremony and the reception Cristina and Fran couldn’t help whispering to each other about everything, from the unique wedding they organised together to how excited they were to start their lives together.

“We will never forget that memorable day, especially since the sensations we lived can never be explained in words.”

A Wedding With All The Charm Of The Past

13/02/2014/

Sergio and Maria tied the knot in San Zolio in Palencia, a former convent that is now transformed to a small hotel to celebrate real luxury weddings. The small monastery is located near the pilgrimage to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in northwestern Spain. A wedding with a very special charm that turned out to be very different.

The Elegant Outdoor Wedding of Louise and Ruairi

03/02/2014/

Louise and Ruairi celebrated their wedding in a peaceful romantic countryside ceremony at the 18th Century Tankardstown House in the heart of Boyne Valley in Co Meath, near Dublin.

Louise looked amazing in her Carolina Herrera gown “I was bamboozled trying to find something that was classy, elegant, timeless and flattering and all the other things that you’re told a wedding dress should be. I think I lost sight of the fact that it should be something I loved and that excited me rather than it being a safe choice. Finally I saw a dress that I could get excited about and set about tracking it down and I’m so glad I found it in Farah Novias Barcelona. I didn’t settle for something based on what other people would think of it, but found something that my sister described as “exactly the sort of thing I thought you’d pick.” So wait until you find something that speaks to you”.

The grounds of Tankardstown House were a stunning backdrop for the ceremony and the couple added beautiful floral garlands to the chairs, adding color and texture in this way is simple and really effective.
