Melanie + Rick | Highlights | Wedding at Quinta de Sant’Ana in Gradil, Portugal

“Dress shabbily and they remember the dress. Dress impeccably and they remember the woman.”​ Coco Chanel​

After ​seeing​ Melanie in her white wedding dress, this quote made even more sense.
Melanie was wearing an elegant and simple white dress, all crêpe gown with boat neckline, cap sleeves and a dramatic open back.

​With this amazing woman was a charming man called Rick, always with a big smile on his face.
Who said that men don’t cry? It ​was a​ very emotional​ day​ for this groom​.​ ​H​e ​laughed when he received a motorcycle from his future wife and cried when he s​a​w her walking down the aisle.

Melanie and Rick​ are Canadian and​ chose a wonderful venue for their wedding.
Near the ​Portuguese ​capital Lisbon, they found an authentic farm where the best wine is produced each year​. Quinta de Sant’Ana was the perfect​ place to receive ​their​ wedding celebration.
The day went as a typical July summer day, with lots of fresh drinks and with a Dixie band​ ​following the guests! Super fun.
