Family-Centered Portuguese Wedding

Family-Centered-Portuguese-Wedding (19 of 31)

For Carlos and Cátia, family was the most important aspect of their bohemian styled wedding in Portugal. The couple chose the bride’s grandmother’s house for the big day because of the sentimental value and the “feeling of belonging there. Home-cooked meals, colorful, rustic decor, and live music produced the perfect ambiance for the couple to exchange vows. Instead of carrying a traditional bouquet, the bride wore a floral necklace, which was a beautiful, unique touch to her gorgeous laced gown. The amazing Pedro Vilela Photography captured the sweet, genuine moments spent at this intimate Portuguese wedding.

The Couple:

Carlos and Cátia

The Wedding:

Private Residence, Entroncamento, Portugal

The Inspiration:

We chose to have a wedding at my grandmother’s house because that is where I spent my childhood. I love that place and the feeling of belonging there. The decoration was all about that, all the small details belong to our childhood: photos, music, flowers, etc. It was a mix of what we loved most and some rustic props from my grandmother’s house. For example, Carlos used a traditional cap from our region — Ribatejo. I didn’t want to carry the bouquet, so I used a flower necklace. It was a perfect idea.
