Kaela and Jez's Wine Themed Castle Wedding in Portugal by Look Imaginary and Cátia Silva Weddings

As we reach the half way point of the week I am taking you off for a gorgeous destination wedding in Portugal. Kaela and Jez are wine lovers and have family in Portugal, so this wine filled area of their beloved Portugal seemed like the perfect place to hold their celebrations. They chose a stunning castle venue, that is beautiful inside and out, and held a truly elegant and Boho chic day. With wine as their theme for the day, they managed to incorporate it into their decoration in a number of tasteful and creative ways, from the wine themed table plan, to the centre pieces. The day was captured by Look Imaginary and planned to perfection by Cátia Silva Weddings who sent in this gorgeous wedding.

A beautiful and emotive ceremony in a historical place with a wine inspirational scent and a memorable party!

Kaela and Jez were married on 9th June 2018 at Pousada de Alcácer do Sal in Portugal. ‘We have family members living in Portugal. Besides that, Jez is a wine lover so we wanted to have our wedding in a winery zone. We had 86 guests and it took 9 months to plan with the help of our planner Cátia Silva Weddings‘

How they met
They met in the Alpes, while working on a Sky Vacation station.
