From the get-go, Mipa and Helder wanted their wedding to be about celebrating their love with loved ones rather than just following traditions. The couple made sure to plan every aspect thoughtfully, taking into account the experience of each and every guest who came to celebrate with them. And with the help of their visionary vendor team, they pulled off an elegant and laid-back Janeiro de Cima wedding filled with beautiful details.
The couple had their hearts set on a picturesque river beach nestled near the bride’s childhood village–and it was the perfect spot for their big day. With breathtaking lakeside views as the backdrop, the bride and groom exchanged heartfelt vows, surrounded by the beauty of Mother Nature. And let us tell you, their reception was just as awe-inspiring. Under a clear tent, guests were treated to a tablescape adorned with cascading florals and whimsical lamps, creating a dreamy and romantic atmosphere.
With a warm color palette, one-of-a-kind decor, gorgeous arrangements, and a picturesque setting, trust us when we say this Janeiro de Cima wedding is a must-see! Scroll through these incredible photos captured by João Almeida for steal-worthy ideas and see their special day in motion through the lens of Junebug member and videographer Native Birds.
We immediately knew we wanted to tie the knot somewhere special to me–close to my childhood home. And what could be more idyllic than a river beach surrounded by breathtaking scenery? To make things even better, most of our guests arrived in the village a day before the wedding and stayed an extra day after, making it a mini-vacation for everyone. The best part was that the village and river beach was just a short walk away from each other, so no one had to miss a moment of the festivities. We arranged for our families and friends to stay at the village and organized a chill party throughout the weekend. We always envisioned our wedding to be laid-back yet classy, with love, laughter, and revelry as the driving forces of the day.
Setting The Tone To Their Celebration With Music
One of the most memorable parts of our day was our entrance into the tent, where we had our reception. Following the ceremony, at the start of the evening, we were greeted by our friends and family with the sounds of Florence + The Machine, accompanied by the beat of two large drums. It was the perfect beginning, setting a fantastic mood for an unforgettable party. Throughout the day, we received incredible feedback from our family and friends. Seeing everyone having fun on our special day was very rewarding. The positive energy, joy, and satisfaction we saw in our guests were incredible.
Trusting Their Wedding Planner To Bring To Life The Wedding They’ve Envisioned
Planning, creating, and organizing our wedding was a challenging task! The village where we tied the knot had no specific infrastructure or resources dedicated to weddings, so we had to start from scratch. It was overwhelming, so we decided to enlist the help of a wedding planner. After careful consideration, we chose Bouquet De Liz—and we’re happy we did! They were incredible, assisting us with everything from invitations to decorations, catering, entertainment, and more. They were a lifesaver, and we couldn’t have done it without them. They’re the perfect choice for anyone who wants their dream wedding to come true. Plus, they took the time to understand our needs and vision from the beginning.
The Importance Of Choosing The Right Photographer And Videographer
Selecting the photographer and videographer was a crucial decision from the start. While we wanted to live in the moment, we also wanted to preserve the best memories for the future. To that end, we chose two fantastic teams, and they did an excellent job. We aimed to capture moments throughout the day and avoid the traditional pauses for photos and videos. Working with them was a breeze; they were incredibly discreet and captured every moment. The final result was nothing short of incredible. We wouldn’t trade these teams for anything and highly recommend them as the best in Portugal.
Making Their Big Day Even More Special With Sentimental Gifts
On the morning of our wedding day, I gave Helder a watch with a heartfelt message. As a return gesture, Hélder surprised me with a trip with no fixed destination, which would make a long-standing dream a reality. And the cherry on top? The destination he picked was São Tomé and Príncipe, where I’ll go on a volunteer mission alone.
Whether it’s the photographer, wedding planner, or caterer, each vendor plays a significant role in making your day memorable. Remember, it’s not just about the product or service. It’s about the people you work with and the experience they provide. With the right team by your side, you can trust that your wedding day will be everything you’ve ever imagined and more.

Enjoy the two restaurants, private wine cellar, heated outdoor pool, and 22 acres of beautiful lawn after you tie the knot.
Why we love it: One look at the Chatham Bars Inn website, and you will notice the countless awards they have won over the years. It’s not hard to see why, either.

Though if you’re not one to want to get your feet dirty in the sand, there’s also the wedding lawn which offers uninterrupted views of the sea.
Why we love it: Located less than two hours from New York City, the Mayflower Inn and & Spa is situated on 58 acres of landscaped gardens and woodland.
