2. Alexandra White Photo

Photography style: Timeless documentary

Good for: Couples who are afraid to be in front of the camera

Review: “Alexandra did both our engagement and wedding photos. Both times she was great to work with—very communicative and open to giving us great direction to get the best photos. We had a very small micro-wedding at a family member’s house, and she was great about giving us an hourly rate (as opposed to buying a full-day package). I was afraid that we’d look awkward and stilted in a lot of our photos (just because of who we are as people), but she got so many great candid shots where you can tell how happy we are. We also had some animal guests that Alexandra was excellent with—she got some super cute shots of just the dogs and horses. We love the photos we got back and would recommend Alexandra to anyone!”

They were so fun to work with, professional, and made everything so easy. Plus, the photos are stunning. Works of art. We are so excited to have them photograph everything else we do for the rest of the time and are so lucky to call them not only our photographers but also our friends! Cannot thank them enough.”

Sunny Barcelona Xalet de Nin Wedding with Tropical Florals

October 5, 2025 | justine

Sophie and Joanna’s story started in the most everyday of places—a gym—but the connection they felt was anything but ordinary. “It was definitely love at first sight!” they shared. A few dates later, they already knew their bond was rare. When they planned their Xalet de Nin wedding, they embraced Barcelona’s Mediterranean charm while weaving in tropical florals that celebrated Sophie’s heritage.

What We Love About This Xalet de Nin Wedding

A seaside venue with 360º views of the Mediterranean
Personalized florals mixing classic romance with bold tropical colors
A first look by the pool with private ocean views
Dual wedding dresses chosen in secret and revealed on the big day
A reception filled with food, music, and surprising outfit changes

Featured Vendor:
Just Married Barcelona

Choosing a Space With Views and Versatility

For Sophie and Joanna, location was everything. “From day one, our top priorities were the venue, food, and guest experience,” they explained. After touring several options with their planner and Junebug vendor Just Married Barcelona, the couple instantly knew the Xalet de Nin was the one.

Perched on a hilltop with sweeping sea views and lush gardens, the venue offered more than just a backdrop. “It ticked all the boxes on our list,” they said. Each transition, from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception, unfolded in different areas of the property. Keeping guests in awe as they discovered new spaces.

Personalized Fashion Choices That Tell a Story

Shopping at Grace Barcelona gave Sophie and Joanna a chance to explore different looks, without revealing their final choices to each other. Joanna chose the ‘Darian’ gown by St. Patrick from Pronovias, while Sophie opted for a tailor-made Aurora gown by Hervé Moreau. “We kept our dresses a surprise until the day of,” they said, adding that the reveal made their first look by the pool even more emotional.

Later, for their first dance, both changed into traditional red outfits crafted by Sophie’s cousin, Kim Chau. “She kept it a secret while making them for about a year!” The outfits not only surprised their guests but also honored Sophie’s cultural roots in a stylish, celebratory way.

Balancing Style, Heritage, and Budget

Initially, the pair leaned toward a soft, classic wedding design with pastels and roses. But with guidance from Anna of Just Married Barcelona and floral designer Núria of Flors Amèlia, they embraced a bolder vision. “We wanted to incorporate Sophie’s heritage with reds and exotic touches,” they shared. Silk lanterns, red tassels on menus, and Chinese numerals for table numbers brought meaningful cultural details into the decor.

Mindful of their budget, the couple took their planner’s advice. “We changed some materials used in signage, swapped a few floral choices, and repurposed ceremony flowers where possible,” they explained. The result was a personalized yet cost-conscious design.

Ceremony Filled With Color and Sea Views

From the welcome rooftop event in Sitges to the last dance, Sophie and Joanna put guest comfort at the heart of their planning. Their ceremony combined a relaxed atmosphere with striking details and sweeping views of the Mediterranean.

The setting was framed with tropical arrangements positioned in sculptural clusters along the aisle and at the altar. The bold color palette of oranges, pinks, and greens stood out against the sea backdrop, giving the space a modern and vibrant feel. Guests were seated on simple wrought-iron chairs, facing the ocean.

The ceremony was officiated by a close friend who spoke in both English and Spanish, a thoughtful touch that included all guests. Sophie and Joanna also staged two recessionals: the first for a wide group photo, and the second as guests tossed rose petals, marking the start of the celebration ahead.

Details That Made the Guest Experience Unforgettable

The cocktail hour featured oysters, lanterns, and a live DJ, while dinner with Sensacions catering impressed everyone. “Their food is a gastronomical experience,” the couple recalled.

The reception space carried over the tropical theme with tables decorated with greenery, and pink-toned blooms. Tall glass candles added warmth, while fairy lights framed the head table and glowed as evening set in. Chinese numerals marked the tables, a subtle nod to Sophie’s heritage, and menu cards were tied with red tassels for a personal touch.

Tips to Keep Your Wedding Authentic and Stress-Free

The overall atmosphere was both elegant and relaxed—guests toasted, laughed through heartfelt speeches, and enjoyed a space that felt festive without being overdone. Later, the celebration transitioned seamlessly to dancing in the main hall and onto the terrace, where the night carried on under the Barcelona sky.

Looking back, Sophie and Joanna wouldn’t change a thing. “There were no negative surprises,” they said. Instead, their wedding was full of intentional choices, from venue to florals to fashion. Their biggest advice? Hire a planner you connect with and design a day that feels like you—not just what’s trending.

Their Xalet de Nin wedding was more than a beautiful event. It was a celebration of love, heritage, and the life they’ve built together in Barcelona, shared with the people who matter most.

A Scottish Indian Wedding Weekend at Achnagairn Castle in Inverness

October 2, 2025 | justine

On a snowy day, Meera and Ross had their first date—a dog walk and a film that almost didn’t happen when Meera’s car got stuck in the snow. She grabbed a taxi, and the effort paid off. That easy, natural start set the tone for a relationship built on travel, food adventures, and long hikes. Ross, the planner, and Meera, the more go-with-the-flow partner, balanced each other perfectly.

As their relationship grew, they dreamed of a celebration that reflected both of their cultures. The result was a two-day Scottish Indian wedding at Achnagairn Castle in Inverness. With guests flying in from around the globe, they designed a weekend that felt immersive and true to their story.

What We Love About This Scottish Indian Wedding

A two-day celebration blending Indian and Scottish traditions
Achnagairn Castle’s exclusive-use setting with space for all their guests
Deeply personal wedding fashion, from heirloom bangles to a modern silk gown
Favors sourced from both India and the Scottish Highlands
A focus on food, florals, and unforgettable entertainment

Featured Vendor:

Personal Details That Made Getting Ready Meaningful

The morning began quietly inside the castle. Ross dressed in a custom ivory sherwani with matching embroidered shoes. “He wowed,” Meera said, “and received just as many compliments as the bride.”

Meera got ready with her mother and bridesmaids, wearing a stone-colored lehenga by Seema Gujral and heirloom bangles passed down through her family. Her look was completed with natural, radiant makeup and jewelry that included a mangal sutra gifted during the ceremony.

Blending Tradition and Nature in the Castle Gardens

That afternoon, the castle gardens transformed into a celebration of tradition and nature. The aisle led to a Mandap draped in greenery and pink florals, where the couple exchanged vows.

The ceremony began with the sounding of a conch and live sitar, flute, and tabla music. Guests rang brass bells, children tossed petals, and everyone joined in chanting mantras. “We wanted emotion to come through the joy from the sound of the trees in the wind, the music playing, the children running about, and guests enjoying themselves,” Meera shared.

Celebrating With Food, Dancing, and Endless Energy

The Indian reception carried the same joyful spirit as the ceremony but with an even greater sense of celebration. Guests enjoyed a spread of flavorful Indian dishes before the music pulled everyone to the dance floor. Drummers set the rhythm as the tent filled with laughter, color, and nonstop energy.

Meera’s cousins, led by a Zumba instructor, choreographed a last-minute dance routine via WhatsApp. Ross and his groomsmen also performed an Indian dance after renting studio space to practice. “I’m not quite sure they were all moving in the right direction, but it added to the charm.” Later, Ross disappeared into the crowd—only to reappear with a karaoke set, keeping the energy alive until the very end.

Preparing for the Scottish Ceremony With Family

The second day began with calm anticipation inside the castle. Meera got ready alongside her bridesmaids, wearing a silk Katherine Tash gown with an asymmetric neckline and overskirt, later swapped for a sleeker evening version. Her natural makeup and simple accessories highlighted the elegance of the dress. Bridesmaids and her mother wore pink gowns in shades that suited them, ensuring everyone felt confident and beautiful.

Ross prepared with his groomsmen in traditional kilts with thistle buttonholes, honoring his Scottish heritage. Both shared first looks with their parents instead of each other, saving their tears for the aisle.

Romance, Candlelight, and a Fairytale Setting

The castle’s grand hall set the stage for the second day of celebrations. Ivory blooms lined the aisle, chandeliers cast a warm glow, and a roaring fireplace framed the altar, creating a Beauty-and-the-Beast-inspired atmosphere. Gold accents and tall candelabras added to the regal feel.

Meera walked down the aisle to a live harp rendition of Odesza’s “A Moment Apart,” a surprise gift for Ross. Later, their first dance to “Higher Ground” nodded to seeing Odesza live at Madison Square Garden. A full-circle moment for them both. “This was our royal moment,” Meera shared.

A Regal Celebration with a Welcoming Spirit

For the reception, the castle’s hall was transformed into a candlelit dining space. Long banquet tables were lined with ivory florals, gold accents, and tall candelabras, casting a warm glow against the wood-paneled walls. Personalized place settings added thoughtful detail to every seat.

Guests gathered under strings of lights, raising glasses in celebration as heartfelt speeches filled the room. The setting struck the perfect balance between regal and inviting, an elegant continuation of the day’s fairytale ceremony.

Smart Budget Choices and Lasting Advice

To balance their budget, the couple splurged on food, flowers, and drinks while saving on stationery, signage, and accessories. They opted for online invites, thrifted antique mirrors, and high-street shoes.

Looking back, Meera advises couples to keep their planning circle small. “More opinions can overcomplicate things. I planned with my mum (and my husband, sort of) and kept most details quiet, it was the best surprise.” Her final takeaway: focus on what reflects you as a couple. “This weekend was about celebrating our love in the Scottish Highlands, our favorite place in the world. That’s what made it unforgettable.”
