Wedding article by Charlotte Floret july 7th 2014
This Norwegian couple living in Portugal chose the perfect wedding venue by the sea for their vintage wedding in Portugal. Indeed, the Villa Sao Paulo, thanks to its history, is already considered a "vintage" wedding venue on its own but with an extra touch of "chic" we can definitely say that this decoration took us back in time. With the current vintage atmosphere and furniture of the villa and the help of a florist, the vintage decoration was absolutely spectacular. Simple details are enough to create the desired vintage atmosphere, such as; glass bottles and bird cages with flowers inside, as well as old chairs in the garden to create cosy lounges creating a more rustic ambiance together with the surrounding Nature. All that was needed to complete the decoration were some accessories like sunshades, hats, old suitcases, some flower patterned items and suddenly it was like we were all taken back to the golden vintage years.
A vintage wedding style is closely linked to nature that is why settings in gardens fit so well together. Lovely purple flowers are perfect for such a wedding theme, add some straw to give it an even more rustic touch and your vintage wedding theme is complete.
The bride and groom also had the brilliant idea of making the program of their religious wedding ceremony in Portugal in the shape of a fan, to help their guests handle the hot weather.This religious wedding ceremony on the Villa’s terrace is the proof that you can have a religious ceremony in a wedding venue by the sea and on a wedding destination if that is what you want.
Another amazing detail of this vintage wedding in Portugal, was that every guest had a Chinese umbrella during the wedding ceremony that served as a shade from the Portuguese sun on this very warm day.
After the wedding ceremony in Portugal, the newlyweds and their guests gathered by the front door of the beautiful villa where they were congratulated and then had rose petals thrown at them while they were going down the stairs. No doubt that tradition can still be romantic! This wedding in Portugal allowed guests and the couple to take advantage of the breathtaking view of the endless ocean where, by the pool, the cocktails were served whilst admiring the beautiful sunset. This wedding venue by the sea is the best way to celebrate such an important day and to also take the most incredible photos that will never be forgetten, together with this wedding destination in Portugal.
In the dining room, once again the “Nature Touch” of this vintage wedding theme by the sea could be found, with centrepieces made of wood, flowers and plants: which prove to be great vintage objects and details for a vintage wedding theme. The numbers on the tables were made by the bride’s mother, giving it an even more sentimental and authentic touch to this vintage decoration since nothing is better than a "Do It Yourself" decoration for a vintage style wedding.
The seating plan, also homemade, was fabulous and above all just so vintage! Made directly on top of an old door, the guests’ names for each table were put in a vintage styled frame. Family and friends could write down their best wishes to the newlyweds on a guest book, perfectly enhanced on a beautiful vintage desk. The wedding favors were also very original: cans of codfish, alluding to the couple's profession.
This reall was an exquisite vintage wedding in Villa Sao Paulo!
