Caterin & Alex wanted something really natural but elegant for their wedding and ended up having a gorgeous reception at CANALDA AGROTURISME which is in a rural mountain village in Spain.. Their planner and stylist MADERA & CHOCOLATE took care of the decor ensuring it suited the rural venue and KISS ME FRANK were behind the camera for these beautiful images. I adore the brides beautiful gown from SANTOS COSTURA ééò so chic and stylish with a beautiful back to it and a timeless silhouette.
We wanted a romantic church with a lot of candles near the reception venue. Sant Lloren de Morunys Church was the perfect location near Canalda, a countryside village in Serra del Cad (a mountain range running north of Catalonia) where all our guests could stay for the entire weekend wedding. Walking into the church to the sound of a Spanish guitarist playing my favorite pop songs (a surprise from Alex!) and Alex at the end of the aisle looking at me. It was a mix of emotions, crying and laughing at the same time. When we walked out of the church it was really amazing to see all our friends and family congratulating us and throwing flower petals! It was a unique, unrepeatable moment!
TELL US ABOUT YOUR RECEPTION: We had a lot of guests from other countries, so we wanted a beautiful venue that also included accommodations. We wanted a natural and “slow life” feeling. Canalda was perfect, a rural resort based in a loyal retrieval of historical sustainable and natural elements typical of high mountain.

WHAT INSPIRED YOU WHEN PLANNING YOUR WEDDING? We are currently living in Senegal very far away from the wedding location, so we hired a local wedding planner and designer, Madera & Chocolate, to take care of all the details and decor. In our first meeting in Barcelona, they immediately picked up on the feeling I wanted for our wedding. Something simple but elegant that embodied the “slow life” movement. White and green were the principal colors.
TELL US ABOUT YOUR FAVOURITE MOMENT: The cocktail hour was a lovely part of the reception because it was a time to share conversations, kisses and hugs with all our important people, and a jazz band playing beautiful songs. And the first dance with my new husband was really romantic!
