Food, Drink, and Decor
The Estoril Vintage Hotel provided the catering. The cocktail menu featured items like Portuguese sausage balls with panko and aioli, and braised tuna skewers. The wedding dinner included a starter of shrimp raviolis, a first main of grouper loin in champagne sauce, a second main of Beef Wellington, and a dessert buffet with traditional Portuguese Molotof and other sweets. An open bar served featured cocktails including a Hugo Spritz, Espresso Martini, Margarita, and Old Fashioned.
Florals by Decofloralia filled the venue with bright pink, orange, green, and yellow blooms touched with blue. Decor, handled by vendors including Back-up Rental and DecoCollection, included a whimsical tablescape. A standout feature was the pool, covered with glass so guests could dance on water.
Music and Special Touches
Music was provided by a string trio from Rituais, a live band called Cloud 9, and DJ Paul Alba, who also performed as the after-party DJ with a saxophonist. The ceremony and reception featured a carefully selected playlist.
Special personal details included using vintage brooches for the groomsmen instead of boutonnieres and placing candles with pictures of absent loved ones. The bride's 'something blue' was the groom, her 'something new' was her wedding shoes, and her 'something borrowed' was a diamond bracelet containing stones from both her grandmothers. The wedding cake was built from traditional Portuguese custard tarts, pastel de natas.
