Inspiration

Oh my how I would love to escape to Adriana & Jordi's beautiful lake side wedding right now. It looks like heaven, and I'd be quite happy to sit there drinking in all the beauty and timeless elegance without a care in the world. Complimenting the picturesque surroundings they stuck to a gorgeous green & white colour palette with hints of natural decor, and an abundance of foliage, which just looks utterly divine. Also making me swoon with delight is Adriana and her, not one, but two wedding gowns. Firstly her Cortana gown, which has a stunning low back and was the perfect frame for her bridal braid and then her sultry Otaduy gown, which she elegantly danced the night away in. I have no idea what the napkin waving scenario was that Sara Lobla captured, but I know I absolutely adore those shots, and I know I definitely want to join in. The Spanish certainly know how to hold a party don't they...

The Wedding

Andriana the Bride: 3 words to describe our wedding: atemporal, sobery & natural. We wanted a classic elegant décor, that was atemporal. The main colours were the green of the plants, the off-white of the candles and the neutrals of the linen fabrics.

Catering

For starters (guests were standing) next to the lake shore with live Bossanova and mojitos. Later we enjoyed a formal dinner with sober tables. Candles and plants, amazing décor by La Puta Suegra. I painted the watercolours for the menus.

Favours & Thank-you Gifts

We gave all guests a keyring and a card as a wedding favour. After the dinner, we gave cake figures we painted ourselves to 4 couples who helped us a lot and we appreciate very much. I gave my bouquet to my best friend, Ada. And for our parents we gifted them a weekend trip.

Honeymoon

We went to Indonesia for our honeymoon. Where we enjoyed bike rides, beaches, amazing jungles and animals.

How we met

We met at school aged 12 and went out with each other (can you imagine?). Then Jordi left the school, but we still saw each other around Barcelona. At 17 we started going out again and here we are 10 years later.

The Proposal

When I got my degree, Jordi prepared for a trip to Thailand for me. It was at Mae Nam beach at Koh Samui where he asked me to marry him. It was so romantic!

Photography

Sara Lobla captured every moment, the feelings, everything is so beautiful.

Dresses

Dress number one I wore for the ceremony and starters, was a Cortana gown, which was very elegant and featured an open back. Dress number 2 was an Otaduy gown, It was simple yet stylish and perfect to dance all night in.

Jewellery

Iron tiara (late S.XIX century) from Berlin. Purchased at a Barcelona antique shop, Heritage. Earrings from my mother (a friend of hers found them in another antique shop). My ring and wedding rings were from Bvlgari.
