Mediterranean Romance

Michelle & Chris

Nestled in the hills just outside of Barcelona stands Masia Cabellut, a white-washed villa backed by olive groves and lavender fields, ready-made for romance and perfect for Michelle and Chris's wedding day. Team LR's very own, Michelle shared all the details behind her dream ceremony in the Mediterranean countryside, perfect down to her custom-made heels.

"I wore multiple looks throughout the day, and each one was chosen to complement different moments of our celebration. For the ceremony, I chose the off-shoulder gown with the flowing train — it felt so romantic and classic. I loved how the clean lines and elegant draping photographed beautifully in that natural setting. For the dance party, I switched to a more fitted dress with delicate embroidered details and floral appliqués from Cecilie Bahnsen runway — it felt more playful and allowed me to move freely during dancing. The process was all about finding pieces that felt authentically me while honoring the sophisticated, aesthetic we were going for. I wanted to feel like the most beautiful version of myself, and have been long time admirers of both designers."

"The custom Triana shoes were absolutely perfect for my chosen looks. I was drawn to their elegant simplicity — the clean lines and delicate straps worked seamlessly with both of my dresses. I loved the sophisticated details like the gold hardware accents. Having them photographed featuring my husband’s and my initials was the perfect personal touch. They were refined enough for the ceremony but comfortable enough that I could walk through the lavender fields, navigate those stone pathways, and dance all night. There's something so chic about a minimalist design that doesn't compete with the dress, and elevates the entire look. Wearing them, I felt confident and grounded — literally and figuratively! They were the perfect finishing touch that tied everything together beautifully, and I love that they became such an integral part of our visual story."

"We took a trip to Europe a few years ago and fell completely in love with the Mediterranean countryside — the vineyards, the rustic stone architecture, and that magical golden hour light was the exact setting we envisioned for our day. When we discovered Masia Cabellut, it felt like we were transported back to those dreamy European moments that made us fall even deeper in love with each other. The venue's vineyards and panoramic views of the surrounding hills created the perfect backdrop for our intimate celebration. What really captured our hearts was the stunning villa with its traditional white-washed walls and beautiful gardens, nestled among the olive groves and lavender fields. The property has this incredible infinity pool that overlooks the vineyards, and those stone pathways lined with cypress trees felt like something out of a fairy tale. There's something so romantic about being surrounded by nature while still having those elegant, refined touches. All of these details truly created the perfect space for us to celebrate. "

"I'm obsessed with how everything came together so organically. The ceremony setup with the wooden chairs overlooking the vineyard was breathtaking — having that panoramic view as our backdrop, and the floral islands adorning the pool, it felt like we were getting married in a painting. The natural fig place cards were such a unique touch. For the reception, I loved how we had multiple intimate settings throughout the property — from our poolside celebration, cocktail hour in the garden with those stunning striped umbrellas and vibrant pink blooms, to the dinner setup with the toile tablecloth and pink pleated lampshades that created the most romantic, Spanish countryside ambiance. The way the florist incorporated wild, organic elements with more structured arrangements perfectly captured our vision — especially those white allium flowers that looked like natural fireworks against the landscape."


"Our favourite part was having all our friends and family in one place for the day."


"I loved the creative process of bringing our vision to life! Working with vendors who truly understood our aesthetic made all the difference. My biggest secret? Don't be afraid to have multiple outfit changes — it allowed me to have different looks for different parts of the day and gave us such variety in our photos. Also, choosing a venue that's naturally beautiful means you need fewer decorations — let the landscape do the work! Investing in a photographer who shoots film and has that organic, editorial style, created lasting memories for us that will be timeless."

"The moment we walked down that dusty vineyard path together as husband and wife - just the two of us, surrounded by all that natural beauty — that's when it really hit me that we were married. It was this perfect, quiet moment in the middle of all the celebration. I also loved our first look moment in the lavender field — seeing my husband's genuine reaction and that gorgeous backdrop of purple blooms with the vineyards behind us was absolutely magical. The poolside celebration was so joyful, and all those candid moments throughout the day. The whole day felt like an elegant, authentic celebration with the people we love most, set against this incredible Mediterranean landscape that will forever hold our hearts."
