The attention to detail in the building is flawless. Dresswise we wanted everyone to be relaxed and wear what they felt most comfortable with. The flowers were all made by my Mum and Aunts and we used what was available locally at the time. We had cork inspired favours (as Portgual is renowned for it) and some special mauritian shortbread cakes my family made for us.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-567437\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/76\/a4\/76a4afdace081aba_w1000.avif\" alt=\"Wedding -
