Joana & Cristian
We are getting married surrounded by the biggest flowers we can find.
Our story, in bloom
Two shores, one bouquet
From the Mediterranean warmth of Sax to the riverside of Porto, our families come together for one unforgettable day. We would be honoured to have you with us.
The plan
The day
We say “I do” in the quinta’s own chapel. Please arrive a little early.
Drinks and bites: the welcome celebration, traditionally called the copo de água in Portugal.
A long, generous Iberian dinner. Come hungry.
Music and dancing into the small hours, until around 4am.
While you’re here
A taste of a Portuguese wedding
If it’s your first wedding in Portugal, here’s a little of what to look forward to, and to lean into.
The copo de água
The reception after the ceremony: a long, generous banquet where we’ll come table to table to greet you. It keeps its own slow clock, often into the small hours.
The vira
A spinning northern folk dance to accordion and drum. When it starts, say yes: arms up, no experience required.
Amêndoas
Sugared almonds, five to a pouch: one each for love, health, happiness, fertility and a long life together.
The midnight feast
Just as the dancing flags, a late-night ceia appears: bifanas and caldo verde to carry the party on toward dawn.
RSVP
We can’t wait to celebrate with you. Please let us know by 30 June 2027.
