Elegant Barcelona Destination Castle Wedding II







































When the day finally arrived, I felt like I was floating softly through the best dream that had ever been had: from arriving with my father to the castle to the glimmering farewell of petals and sea of candles at our exit.

During the aperitivo, we sipped cava, ate freshly cut jamon and innovative Spanish cuisine as the golden sun faded. At twilight, we moved up under the canopy of trees to dine at long tables lined with simple garland of olive branches. My cousin serenaded us with an opera song that could not have started the night off on a better note. At the end of our meal, guests leisurely enjoyed cigars, customary in Spain at weddings, and the glowing lawn below before breaking out into dancing until dawn. We are extremely blessed to have had such a special night, sharing our love with our friends and family, and we are grateful to have had Bryce so exquisitely capture our memories that we will cherish forever.

The planning, styling and execution were flawless and I cannot stress enough how important it was to work with great people who understand and shared my vision and are willing to go above and beyond to produce a beautiful event. That night they pulled an all-nighter, arriving at 8 am to their hotels, after an already long week in Barcelona preparing for our engagement shoot, boudoir session, welcome dinner, and finally the wedding. They are superstars and I cannot sing their praises enough. Many thanks to all of the great people who worked so hard during the year and throughout the weekend in Spain to make it so memorable!
