A Glamorous Summer Wedding at Forte da Cruz

Maria and Bernardo got married by the beach, at the heart of the beautiful village of Estoril, Portugal, in a chic ambience, using clean colours and organic materials. Ana Coelho Duarte, a wedding planner in Portugal, planned this elegant and dreamy wedding styled shoot inspired by natural tones and textures, proving that white and minimalism can set an atmosphere of pure luxury. The centerpieces were created by the stylist with a mix of preserved dried flowers that looked like they were taken from nature itself. The bouquet followed the same inspiration and became a timeless piece. Prettie created an exceptional invitation suite and menu, with escort cards finished with a small organic linen ribbon. The scenario became perfect with the crossback chairs and props from BC Planning. The bride was beautiful with a gown from Anah Hana. The perfect, flowy and clean dress was the perfect choice for a wedding in a castle by the beach. The impeccable makeup was provided by Mara, who used earthy tones highlighting the bride's blue eyes. The hair style, done by Tania Sousa, was natural, yet refined. The head piece from Anah Hana was made from preserved and natural dried flowers, a perfect balance resulting in effortless elegance. The groom wore a dark blue straight and slim suit from Prassa Cerimonia. Together with About Events, they've created memories to treasure and stories to tell through the lenses of the talented Menina e Moça that captured everything so they can relive this day. Their eyes sought all the finer details that elevated this shoot to an exceptional level.
