This couple tied the knot in an 18th century farmhouse, their wedding was a cozy rustic one.
Raul and Ruben married in an intimate ceremony at Casa Benigalip, Alicante. Joined by their closest friends and family, they wanted a day that was rustic, intimate and that reflected their love of food, drink and a good time – and judging by these gorgeous images, they achieved that and then some!
With a €20,000 budget, they employed Le Cocotet wedding planners to help co-ordinate from start to finish. They used a variety of American wedding magazines and blogs to help inspire the details for their day – pulling inspiration from the local surroundings with opulent florals and rustic tableware, and Las Vegas dessert weddings with macrame and woven basket detailing.
Both their ceremony and reception were held in the grounds of Casa Benigalip, Alicante – an 18th century farmhouse in the heart of the Marina Alta region of Spain. Raul and Ruben started their day by getting ready together with a glass of local beer, before heading over to the ceremony together, hand-in-hand. The ceremony, performed by Ruben’s sister, was heartfelt and personal – filled with laughter, dancing, tears and most importantly, so much love. They were joined by four of their closest friends as bridesmaids, whore wore matching, white floral dresses and performed readings. Raul and Ruben wrote personal vows to one another, which they read while choking back the tears. They exchanged rings, kissed, and continued dancing throughout the evening.
The reception, including dinner by candlelight and dancing under the stars, was held in a courtyard at Casa Benigalip. With a table laden with jars of rustic blooms and desserts, the couple toasted their nuptials with red wine and local beers.
One groom chose a terra cotta suit and white sneakers, and the second preferred a dove grey suit with matching sneakers.
There was a super lush dessert table with bright blooms, candles and lots of various desserts.
