The Wedding of Sabrina & Juliana at Portes des Iris
The big wedding season is approaching real fast, on its way to spring and many great adventures to live at Portes des Iris! As we begin these beautiful preparations for our brides and grooms of 2020, we are thinking of all the wonderful weddings that have taken place at Portes des Iris over the past 22 years.
We contacted some of the couples who celebrated their union in the old farmhouse of the Château and they shared with us their memories of their Big Day. Discover their experience!
It was on a hot, hot day in the bright sunshine, that Sabrina and Juliana sealed their love in front of the sumptuous white roses on our façade! That day the thermometer rose to 37 degrees and we even suggested that they install the ceremony indoors “under the air conditioning”! Out of the question for the two turtledoves, they wanted so much to enjoy the terraces…! It is thus equipped with fans and a bottle of fresh water that the guests settled down to live this great moment of emotion.
After a marvellous secular ceremony full of moving speeches by their loved ones, a hearty aperitif awaited the guests on our Iris Terrace, followed by a superb reception in our Dorianna Room served by the caterer Manuel.
It is the theme of “wine” that has guided the decorative choices and the small attentions to the guests planned by S&J. Beautiful barrels at the entrance of the terrace, wine corks in decoration, colours of the bridesmaids’ dresses and a tour of the beautiful vineyards as a table plan, it was a red thread full of pretty surprises that awaited the guests.
