Summer vintage style wedding

I have managed to do a bit of scouring the internet this morning before I head back to Nerja today and stumbled upon these fabulous images of a vintage style summer wedding taken by Rachel Whiting
I adore all the details with that fabulous bouquet, David Austin Roses no doubt, the flowers on the bumper and those cute summery cocktail umbrellas, wonder what the cocktail was it looks delicious! It is so refreshing to see colours used in weddings, I am amazed as much as I love ivory, how many brides do not add in a touch of colour to their weddings.

Couples wanted for a Stylised Engagement Session in Madrid

The Jason Groupp from NYC are heading over to Madrid at the beginning of March and are looking for newly engaged couples for a stylised photo shoot.

A signature of their studio is I Heart New York and they have some stunning stylised takes for an engagement session, take a look here to find out more, a touch of NYC Madrid Style!

So if you are heading to Madrid on the 1st and 2nd March and would love an engagement photo session with this fabulous team do contact them or perhaps this could be a good excuse to plan a pre wedding romantic getaway!

Due to the fact this is rather short notice they are also considering anyone with a special occasion, perhaps an anniversary or a celebration.

We are also hugely excited too as NYC comes again later this year in the form of another amazing photographer, to visit Reviva and photograph some of our weddings to take back across the Atlantic!

The Wedding Season Starts

As our wedding season here in Marbella starts we were delighted to create and decorate this fabulous wedding for one of our clients here in Marbella. The stunning setting was at his private home here in Marbella situated right by the sea.

It was a three day event with a beach theme using starfish as their main decorations with red and white as the main wedding colours.

We created a tropical theme for their pre wedding spanish style party with many flower displays for the house and the tables for the first day followed by some fabulous decorations for the actual wedding day including the beautiful setting with the gazebo and the topiary trees lining the pool either side to set off the gazebo. We used the shell and starfish theme throughout the wedding from the ceremony candle to the table centrepieces which were scattered with small starfish and table crystals.

A beautiful and fabulous wedding which we thoroughly enjoyed creating and of course the sun is finally shining again in Marbella.

Our thanks to Jennifer at Jeremy Standley for coming along to take some fantastic photos.

There are many more to come!

Long distance wedding design!

Vicki contacted us last August to ask for our help in designing her daughter Megan's wedding at the Boardwalk Beach Resort in Panama City Beach in Florida.

After a few emails and some photos we helped Vicki to create this fabulous beach wedding by sending some decorating ideas along with strict instructions, hints and tips! We love these photos and Megan looks beautiful, what a fabulous beach wedding.

We received this lovely email yesterday from Vicki along with the photos of the wedding of Megan and Joshua, here's what Vicki had to say to us

You are too kind and again thanks for all your help with making Meagan and Joshua's wedding complete!!!! When we get more pics I will send. We had a blast and everything was perfect. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!!!!- Take Care, Vicki

More Candy Bar Heaven

It is amazing what you stumble across whilst searching for ideas and how many hugely talented people there are, I came across Geoff White's site the other night and the photographs are amazing, here is just a small selection of some fabulous candy bars from various weddings, certainly the wedding cake takes a back seat now and has been taken over by these fabulous sweet and treat offerings for guests, either incorporating the cake, for the traditionalists who still like to cut the cake or the latest rage of cupcakes. I love the way these tables are themed with the colours and the details that go into them.

Ivory & Dove Grey Wedding in Mijas, El Padrastro

I loved creating this beautiful, stylish wedding for Alison and David in October. The setting was the El Padrastro restaurant in Mijas with such amazing views and the wedding was organised by Sue at Spanish Dream Weddings. Alison had chosen a beautiful dove grey and ivory theme with crystals.

We had some unusual hiccups though, having planned to decorate some of the trees around the pool with lanterns and fairy lights, when we arrived on the day they had all been reduced to stumps, having been blown down in a terrific storm we had the weekend before, we improvised!

Our other hiccup was having arrived with our cream vintage tablecloths, the highly organised restaurant had already laid the tables and after a few conversations it became apparent from the shoulder shrugging that we were on our own, I don't think we have ever cleared and reset tables so quickly, it was rather stressful for a while as it was a large wedding with 14 tables. These beautiful photos are courtesy of the wonderful Jeremy Standley, truly one of my favorite photographers, thank you Jeremy.

Fabulous photos

As we all quieten down and take stock of the past year, I am so excited to start receiving the pros photos of the weddings we have designed and created this summer.
