When it came time to plan their wedding, Sara and Victor knew they wanted a welcoming and sustainable experience for them and their guests. They did just that in a sunset greenhouse wedding at the Rio do Prado. The couple transformed the hotel into a warm, natural wedding venue complete with wildflowers and greenery arranged by Flower Love Wedding, luxe wood decor, and a deep green and yellow color palette. 

So if being eco-friendly is important to you on your big day, keep scrolling. Because these photos–beautifully captured by Junebug member Mémorelle Wedding–are proof that you can be environmentally friendly and still throw the wedding of your dreams.

Why A Sunset Greenhouse Wedding At Rio do Prado

Victor is from Spain, so many guests were coming from there to Portugal. Because of this, we were looking for a place where guests could stay–and it couldn’t be far from Lisbon. The minute we entered Rio do Prado, we fell in love. It’s a hotel but not a conventional one. They built the furniture and the decor themselves. They are concerned about the environment, just like us. We felt like we belonged there.

Highlights Of The Day

There were three highlights from the day for us–the ceremony, the moment we gave gifts to friends that helped us with the wedding (accompanied with the song Amigos Para Siempre by The Manolos), and Victor and his friends dancing for me.
