Intimate destination wedding in the South of Portugal

We love a wedding that is a true reflection of the couples personalities and sense of style. Klaudia & Ricardo held their wedding in the South of Portugal – where the groom is from and had our favourite Portuguese wedding photographer BRANCOPRATA along to capture and style the day.

Living a hectic life – Klaudia is from Poland, but lives between Germany and The Algarve – the couple wanted a small intimate gathering for close family and a few friends. They planned a day with a classic setting, a modest ambiance and and element of modernity. A light, polished inspiration that would breathe within the design, allowing it to exist on it’s own, but also in tune with the venue.

Modern and modest, with attention to moments and exquisite details styled to perfection, their goal was to enhance the pauses, the in between moments, when guests were least expecting! After a small religious ceremony at Igreja de Santa Barbara de Nexe, guests were welcomed to CASA VELHA were they experienced a beautiful sunset by the pool. It was a hot summer day, so fresh drinks and hors d'oeuvres were passed around. Because the wedding was in the Algarve, an al fresco dinner sounded just about perfect, so a long table seating 33 people was designed to fit the couple's wishes.

An understatement feel, modern but with an organic, natural look set the tone for an incredible meal designed by Yannick and Céline Guichaoua, from CASA VELHA. A creative style of fine French cuisine, coloured by delicious Mediterranean influences and served in truly sophisticated surroundings. After dinner the couple did their first dance and shortly they cut the wedding cake which was the perfect ending to an unforgettable day.
