There is something so sweet about today’s featured wedding. Set against a Barcelona backdrop is the most endearing couple with the most adorable little girls, who came together to celebrate with an intimate group of only their closest friends and family. It has that dinner party vibe – designed by Spectrum Agency – while still feeling deeply special and is kissed with the most beautiful florals you’ve ever seen. Thankfully, the photographs from Muravnik capture this moment in time to absolute perfection.

From the bride & groom…Vicky and I met in a friend’s birthday party 6 years ago. We fell in love with each other instantly. In 2015, we travelled to Barcelona to attend a friend’s wedding. Both of us were immediately attracted by the beauty of the city, wonderful people, rich culture, and of course, the delicate food. We promised ourselves we would come back to Barcelona one day.

Six years went by fast, we have two beautiful daughters (3 and 4 years old). We decided that it is time to celebrate our unity and have a wonderful wedding ceremony in our favorite city, Barcelona. On July 27th, 2018, our dream came true. Friends from more than 10 countries came to our wedding and gave their blessings to us. Out of 70+ guests, 20 were children.

From Spectrum Agency, Wedding planning & Styling…The vision of Vicky & Alan was very clear: they wanted an intimate and natural wedding. Vicky loves flowers so this was a very important part for her. We found this beautiful Masia from 18th century, nestled between mountains & wineries, just out of Sitges, it would be the perfect venue for their destination wedding.

The couple flew there for a week stay with their family and closest friends. After discussing with Vicky her preferences in style and colors we went for a vintage, antique style. We used antique pink, vintage violet, terra cotta and dark red colored flowers matching with antique décor we sourced all over Spain and Europe. The floral style was very organic and natural, we played with twigs and branches to bring more height to arrangements and make make it more airy.

We used one of a kind elements of décor and furniture to bring this rustic vintage feel and matching the villa décor. We used different styles of chairs to mix and sourced a beautiful vintage door as the support for the arch. Flowers and vineries creating a frame around the couple in the background. Sourcing furniture was very important to bring coherence to the design as we wanted to use different types of sofas, tables to make the cocktail area as a relaxed environment.

The dinner was set in the beautiful courtyard overlooking the ceremony, Light bulbs and tall candelabras brought this romantic atmosphere. We worked with Yolanda from Best day Ever to source the most suitable flowers and colors to create intricate designs. We chose different types of flowers to make it very organic yet refined. The table setting from Canigueral was matching perfectly with centerpieces and grey cotton tablecloths.
