Earthy forest wedding in Spain

When you design, you must feel a little bit uncomfortable. When you feel uncomfortable and alone, you know you are doing something right.

The year is slowly coming to an end, I’m in my office wrapping up the season and reflecting on 2019. I can’t help but smile, it has been wonderful.

I feel eternally grateful for the experiences I have shared with my couples this season, to have been trusted to do my thing, treated as if I were family, and to have made so many incredible friends. I am overcome with emotion writing this, because this year has not only been everything I wanted professionally, but also personally. I am growing to become the person I want to be: satisfied, curious, creative, present, connected.

The wedding I have chosen to conclude the year with, has a perfect balance of grace, sensibility and warmth. Arielle and Brendan wed in an old Spanish Colonial house, surrounded by wild forest and fauna. It was dreamy yet so down to earth. The couple, in their first years of parenthood, wanted a space to share with their guests and reconnect with friends and family who they no longer see so often. They asked for simplicity without losing elegance, the key elements used to style the wedding were, foraged foliage, wild earthy florals, restored wood and naturally dyed linens.

The mood and ambience of the celebration shifts as each new space is revealed, design is more than visual, design takes you into another world.
