Sun-kissed Boho Micro-Wedding In the South Of Spain
Micro-weddings have to be the best thing to come out of quarantine since the homemade bread trend. Before, you either had a big wedding or you eloped, but now you can essentially have a BIG ELOPEMENT! We could go on and on about why we love micro-weddings, but we may as well show you. Check out this insanely beautiful boho micro-wedding in Spain. It'll convince you that micro is the only way to go!
The golden lighting in these photos of this sunset ceremony by Bendito Juan Photography is unreal! My Natural Wedding Spain planned and designed this wedding, making sure that the party at the end got every bit of attention that the ceremony and reception got and then a little extra magic. Dried and live flowers give these floral arrangements by Anais Floristas volume and movement and truly set the color palette for the entire wedding. This intimate celebration was as fun as it was romantic and A2C Producciones was there to get it all on video. You can see more photos from this stunner of a wedding in the full gallery.

GO MICRO
There are many perks to having a micro-wedding, mainly creating a more intimate occasion, without leaving friends or family out of the fun. On one hand, a micro-wedding can still feature time-honored wedding traditions but on a smaller and more intimate scale. On the other hand, brides and grooms can twist tradition and get creative in ways that might be more difficult with larger, more traditional affairs. The inspiration started very simply. Who hasn't dreamed of having an intimate, romantic, and secret wedding? For some couples, intimacy is important, special, and romantic. It is their opportunity to create a magical experience for their guests; focusing and working with the small details from floral arrangements to food and drinks. The inspiration and ideas are endless!
A LITTLE BIT MODERN
The wedding invitation, printed on natural organic paper, incorporated a QR code that pinpointed the location of the wedding on maps, giving modernity to the event. The stationery combined minimalist design with traditional and modern techniques to create pieces that tied in the rest of the design.
A LITTLE BIT VINTAGE
When designing our client’s weddings we always enhance the chosen venue and tailor it to our client's needs and wants, which can be seen here. The venue is an 18th-century winepress in Malaga’s countryside, set in a secluded valley. This beautiful winepress really does have everything and it is the most perfect spot for an intimate outdoor ceremony. It’s an authentic rustic and raw space that is pure and refreshing. Complementing the natural environment was key to the styling. We chose a color palette with a modern and welcoming presence. The combination of rich caramel shades and gold hues against fresh, organic creams and greens seen within the landscape, combined with a touch of passionate and bohemian reds gives the venue a warm and elegant presence.
FASHION–IT'S ALL ABOUT COLOR AND TEXTURE
The modern, elegant, and bohemian outfits of the couple, alongside the jewelry, complemented the fresh modest makeup and headpiece of the bride. The headpiece and earrings were carefully designed with exquisite detail, focusing on texture and the theme of the wedding to complement the bride, venue, and colors.
A SUNSET CEREMONY
The outdoor ceremony, with just ten guests, took place at the same location during sunset. Sunset ceremonies create an instantly romantic mood for your destination wedding. A little creative lighting can go a long way against the slowly dimming hues. The amazing view of the mountains makes for a breathtaking backdrop and the asymmetric floral altar, made with fresh and dry flowers and pampas grass, produces a magical translucent atmosphere. A rich palette of burgundy, oranges, and beige influenced every component of the floral design.
#RECEPTIONGOALS
A perfect centerpiece was made by adding textures and details, from the handmade stoneware plates and wood placemats, discrete vases of dried and fresh flowers such as Tulips, Carnations, Oak leaves, Anthurium, English Roses, Clematis, and Astilbe which were combined with grapes, grapefruit, and natural moss. Elegant gold cutlery and beautiful chandeliers contrasted and complemented the rustic wood furniture. The cake design was simple and elegant and focused on the same color palette as the rest of the decor. It had a white frosting made from buttercream, which gave a rustic look and texture to the cake. The sponge was made from chai tea filled with caramel Dulce de Leche, a delicious mix that added a modern touch. The splash of color was provided by different decorative elements such as seasonal fruits (figs and grapes) and nuts, providing a Mediterranean style and flavor.
INVEST IN YOUR PARTY
Lights and candles played an essential and magical role in this shoot, as with most weddings. Great lighting makes your wedding venue look truly unforgettable, and one of the top wedding trends of 2020 is mood lighting. For the reception table, a variety of overhead lights were used which gave the illusion of floating stars. The fairy lights hanging from the Spanish old Pine tree provided a magical scene, creating a romantic chill-out area for guests, and an intimate and “Instagram-able” area for photographs. Weddings are one of the most important and memorable celebrations in our lives. Good music and lots of dancing are essential. It’s important to invest in your party as it’s something you will never forget. A distressed red Chester sofa, light-up neon signs, and a cocktail bar were used in combination to create a festival atmosphere–the perfect late-night feast!
