A Tropical Botanical Wedding with a Glasshouse Reception in Pontevedra, Spain

Modern Wedding in Spain

It’s true — we do love a greenhouse wedding. But take us to a romantic + exotic garden in gorgeous Spain and it’s almost too much to handle. Nevertheless, we’re gonna try! Daniel + Sandra’s wedding day was a dreamy affair that took place at Fundación Sales on the Galician south coast where, among the native plants and hidden alcoves, a glasshouse sits center stage. The day’s design, florals, and planning were all commissioned by El Mono con Sombrero, whose attention to detail brought vibrancy and life to the day!

It’s enough to make us set a price alert for flights to Spain but first, let’s take a deep breath and enjoy the brilliance that is Daniel + Sandra’s wedding day!

The journey begins with photos by Ahr Photos:

bridal crown

Sandra’s bridal look is one for the books! Her crepe dress with gold + silver trim at the waist was accented with a dreamy Patricia Melendez Atelier cape. To top it off, Sandra wore a Nacar Tocados headpiece dotted with blooms!

The lounge, dubbed the “chill out zone,” was outfitted with bamboo beds and botanical printed cushions.

The botanical inspiration continued inside where bonsais, cactus, orchids, Alelíes, and, of course, neon!

WHOA. Talk about dream dinner!! The table stretched 30 meters long with a stunning centerpiece of tall wooden candlesticks surrounded by Galician camellias.

A garden variety of its own, this dessert table with a cake by Vanila Tartas & Co was the perfect sweet ending to the celebration!
