Sandrine & Filipe | Aldeia de Pontes

When we imagine the ideal venue for a wedding, we often think of the traditional settings of a Quinta or a hotel. However, there is something truly magical about planning a wedding from scratch, where every detail is meticulously thought out and personalized to create your dream event.

In this article, we will share the dream setting of our bride and groom, Sandrine and Filipe, the beautiful Aldeia de Pontes, located in Castro Laboreiro. It was the perfect setting for an outdoor wedding, without giving up the beauty, authenticity, and memorable moments that such a special day cannot do without.

With a setting like this, the party couldn’t wait. The day before the wedding, the couple along with family and friends staying in the village, enjoyed a dinner surrounded by nature and music, which helped them anticipate what was waiting the next day.

Preparations for the big day began early in the morning. Every space in the village was selected and carefully decorated to create the ideal atmosphere.

The area for the ceremony was set up in a corner adorned with flowers, creating a romantic and charming setting.

Palace Catering, responsible for all the food service, did a fantastic job when it came to adapting to the space itself. In the center of the village, a long dinner table was set up and illuminated by hanging lights, which ensured a warm and festive atmosphere for the evening.

An outdoor dance floor and lounge areas also got set up in this space, where guests could relax and enjoy the atmosphere.

While the various spaces were being organized, the couple began their preparations for the day. The bride’s hair and makeup were done by Di Pinho Makeup Artist, who created an elegant and natural look. Her dress was an off-the-shoulder model by Rosa Clará, further enhancing her beauty on the big day.

The groom chose a green suit with light gray and white accessories from Prassa Cerimónia, creating a sophisticated and modern look.

The ceremony took place outdoors, celebrated by Filipa from Celebrar o Amor, and consisted of a symbolic ceremony that included the exchange of vows and rings, followed by the official registration, all planned to take place on this important date for the couple.

After the ceremony, everyone enjoyed a beautiful sunset prepared by Music Beats.

During this time, the bride and groom also had their couple’s session with photographer Tiago Sousa Wedding Photography and his team. It was a moment where there was no shortage of fun, as well as Sandrine and Filipe’s adventurous spirit.

For Dinner, the table and surrounding area were decorated by Bouquet de Liz, who created stunning floral arrangements and accents that perfectly complemented the atmosphere. It was a celebratory dinner with family and friends, where stories, memories, and lots of laughter were shared.

And Music Beats continued the party, providing moments of fun that kept the guests on the dance floor well into the night. The combination of a great summer evening, props, contagious music, and the guests’ happiness made this an unforgettable night.

This wedding in the village of Pontes was proof that, with planning and creativity, it is possible to transform any place into the perfect space to exchange vows, laugh, cry, and enjoy everything this day has to offer. The authenticity of this day and the personalization of every detail created memories that will remain etched in their memory forever.

We wish the couple, Sandrine and Filipe, a life full of love, joy, and many adventures together. May this day be just the beginning of a wonderful journey ♡
