Stunning! That word perfectly describes Katie and John’s wedding in Spain, and we just can’t take our eyes off from the beautiful pictures captured by Victor Alaez Photography! The bride brings her vision into life with this indoor-outdoor experience at the gorgeous Anantara Villa Padierna in the south of Spain with pale pink, white and gold touches. The wedding reception was divine: an abundance of lush flowers from Perdo Navaro Floral Art & Event Styling, soft pale colors, and ultra stylish centerpieces at the tables enhanced the romantic vibe, while the chandeliers in the garden area created such a magical night!

«We met at the gym we both go to. Jon had a lovely proposal planned in Dubai but covid got in the way of that, so he had to think of plan b. Jon really caught me off guard and proposed in an escape room. », the bride shared with us.
«Everything was a fairytale all white, pale pink and gold. The bouquets were all white, but the rest of the florals had a touch of pink in too. I did go over the top on flowers because I love them. I even had them hanging from the ceiling at the reception. »
«My favorite moment is when our boys brought the rings down the aisle dressed as security to men in black on the violin. It really surprised the guests. »
The bride’s advice: «Be organized beforehand and then on the day just go with the flow. Only you know what order things should go. No one else notices. »
«I had two dresses, both Berta. My first ultimate fish tale dress made me feel like a princess with the Berta veil too. I need to put this dress on a mannequin in my house, it’s that pretty. My second dress i had the train and lining taken out so it was fun and sexy. I think the seamstress thought i was mad cutting up a Berta. Even my mom wore a wedding dress as my maid of honor. »

«Katie and Jon’s magical day unfolded under a sky of blossoming trees, with a charming blush-toned castle setting the scene. The Spanish sunshine and towering, lush palm trees added a touch of natural glamour, enhancing the whimsical atmosphere. Twinkling fairy lights, elegant chandeliers, and delicate blossom decor transformed the space into a vibrant, stylish wonderland. Katie, with a smile, shared her choice of the venue, known for hosting celebrities like Obama and JLo, saying, “If it’s perfect for them, it’s perfect for us!” The venue, offering accommodation for the entire wedding party, turned their celebration into an enchanting Disney-like weekend, leaving everyone awestruck.»
«The couple’s decision to have a destination wedding was met with overwhelming love, as almost all their guests made the journey. Over a hundred beloved friends and family members joined them, creating a warm and festive atmosphere. The day was relaxed and joyful; Jon enjoyed a round of golf while Katie and her son Cassius indulged in poolside fun. The bride, with her eight bridesmaids, embarked on a leisurely preparation process, cherishing every moment.»
«Katie was the epitome of a fairytale princess in her exquisite wedding dress. Her gown, adorned with delicate floral details and a majestic train, was a vision of elegance and grace. A long-time admirer of Berta designs, Katie found her dream dresses at the local Knutsford Wedding Gallery. “My main dress was a stunning Berta Privee fishtail with a lengthy train and veil. The second was a daring, sheer Berta creation,” Katie recounts, with a hint of excitement about her bold customization. Her Sophia Webster shoes, with a hint of blue, and an Eden Luxe tiara, added the perfect royal touches to her look.»
«The wedding was a reflection of Katie and Jon’s fun-loving spirits, filled with unique touches like a live singing waiter and dancing robots, culminating in an exclusive beach club party. Their special day wasn’t just a ceremony, it was a testament to their vibrant personalities and love for entertainment. »
