A Mindful Laid Back Wedding In Nature
WASTE FREE & PURPOSEFUL
Nadia and Ollie planned their wedding remotely, most of the time from India, where they spent their hours practising yoga and dreaming under the burning sun. Envisioning a zero waste, intimate and meaningful wedding, one where all of their special humans could join them in celebration without making a negative impact on the environment, they chose to carbon offset all the journeys made for their destination wedding in southern Spain.
All the styling elements were natural, organic and purposeful. The bridal bouquets were made up of dried meadow flowers, foraged olive and eucalyptus branches for the greenery garlands and the place cards hand written on leaves. The long receptions tables filled with wholesome family style sharing platters and charcuterie boards.
Casual, laid back and beautifully effortless, our bride and groom celebrated all weekend long with their loved ones, without losing sight of their values.
SACRED MOMENTS
THE FIRST TOUCH
Nadia and Ollie chose to have an intimate moment alone before the ceremony but, without seeing each other. Eyes closed and fingers intertwined. A slight squeeze of the hand was everything in that moment.
A ceremony MEDITATION
A silence settled and the guests let their eyelids fall shut over their eyes. The bride and groom hand in hand, their parents by their sides. Sometimes, the simplest of acts have the most profound effects. They become carved into time. They had gathered their guests beneath the oldest tree on the grounds for the group meditation during the ceremony. And now that everyone was present, the festivities could begin.
It’s time to relive this magical natural wedding.

ECO WEDDING HACKS
Keep it small, especially if it’s an international wedding you’re organising. Your heart will be full having your tribe around you, but even fuller if you are able to really spend time with them.
Choose your menu according to what food is in season and produced in the local area and cut back on flowers by adorning your table with mouth- watering sharing dishes.
Nadia and Ollie decided to strip away all the wedding traditions such as confetti throwing, sparklers and cake cutting and to focus purely and simply on their love. There’s no need to implement wedding traditions that mean nothing to you, follow your gut and always do what feels right for you as a couple.
