Planning a Wedding?
Here’s What Truly Matters
Planning a wedding is one of life’s most joyful journeys—but it’s also layered with decisions, emotions, and logistics. As a wedding planner, I believe the most beautiful celebrations begin with clarity, care, and a touch of soul.
Here are the key things to consider when planning your wedding, whether you're dreaming of a Lisbon Palace or a cliffside celebration in the Algarve:
1. BEGIN WITH VISION, NOT JUST BUDGET
Before diving into spreadsheets, pause and ask: What do we want this day to feel like?
Is it intimate and poetic? Grand and glamorous? Your vision will guide every choice—from venue to music to menu. Once that’s clear, build a budget that reflects your priorities, with room for the unexpected.
2. GUEST LIST SHAPES EVERYTHING
Your guest count affects your venue, catering, rentals, and overall flow. Start with a draft list early, and revisit it as your plans evolve. Whether it’s 30 guests or 300, the goal is to create a space that feels intentional and welcoming.
3. CHOOSE A VENUE THAT SPEAKS YOUR LANGUAGE
Your venue sets the tone. In Portugal, we’re spoiled with options—from tiled palácios to ocean-view villas. Consider style, capacity, accessibility, and logistics. Does it offer in-house catering? Is it easy for guests to reach? A planner can help you find the perfect match.
4. DESIGN WITH MEANING
Wedding design isn’t just about color palettes—it’s about storytelling. Think textures, lighting, florals, and flow. Every detail should reflect your journey, your culture, and your love. We help translate your vision into a sensory experience guests will never forget.
Planning a wedding isn’t just about logistics—it’s about crafting a moment that feels like you. With the right guidance, it becomes less about stress and more about soul.
If you're ready to plan a celebration that’s both elegant and heartfelt, I’d be honoured to walk that journey with you.
