A Midsummer Night's Dream Wedding
“Fate loves the fearless.”
Callie and Tyler grew up 2 miles from each another on vineyards in rural California, though they did not meet until much later.
First in Florence Italy during a year of studying abroad, then in the most random places in New York City, where again the ended up living only miles apart -an early morning train in the last carriage, on a flight to California, then some other random place until the time they finally made it a date and ended with them living together 4 weeks later.
Their destination wedding took place in a beautiful old colonial house in southern Spain. It was their love for gastronomy that bought them to the magical land of Andalusia, where they were met with the richest flavours and most delicious produce from the nearby lands and seas. And not to mention, wash it down with the best local wines.
Their ceremony, a mystical setting in an intimate woodland surrounded by their nearest and dearest. The sound of the birds in the air, rays of late afternoon sunlight pouring in through the trees, clouds of flowers and mist everywhere.
Callie had her bridal gown tailor made in Australia and never had a fitting before she received the final work of art, she rocked a glam rock style and was a glowing like goddess, as Tyler put it, this girl has the ability to light up en entire city with her smile and energy.
It felt as if we were moving between the real world and the world of dreams at times. A bohemian fairytale romance.
The wedding flowed from one space to another, naturally and effortlessly, centred around connection, light and laughter. A romantic dinner under dreamy chandeliers and clusters of florals, food shared between family and friends, loving words given and received, watery eyes and hands held tight. It was magic.
As the forest became a dance floor, disco lights illuminating the trees and the intimate forest clearing where the party went on until the early hours of the morning, this midsummer night’s dream wedding is really something.
