This Norwegian couple living in Portugal choose the perfect wedding venue by the sea for their vintage wedding in Portugal. Indeed, the Villa São Paulo, thanks to its history is already really Vintage but it is with a very vintage decoration that this wedding destination venue by the sea really gave the vintage ambience to their wedding in Portugal. With the current vintage atmosphere and furniture of the villa and the help of a florist, the vintage decoration was just spectacular.

Simple things are enough like glass bottles and bird cages to put flowers, old chairs in the garden to create cosy lounges to make a rustic ambient in Nature. Just add some accessories like sunshade, hats, old suitcases, some flower patterned items and the vintage decoration was perfect. Vintage style is closely linked to nature that is why settings in garden fit so well, lovely purple flowers are perfect for such a wedding theme, add some straw to have an even more rustic touch and your vintage wedding theme is complete.

One more particularity of this vintage wedding in Portugal, is that every guest had a kind of Chinese sunshade during the ceremony which looked like fabulous and was very useful by this very warm day. This religious ceremony on the Villa’s terrace is the proof that you can have a religious ceremony even on a wedding venue by the sea and on a wedding destination if you want to. The bride and groom also had the brilliant idea of making a program of their religious ceremony in codfish shape that once laid out makes a fan to help their guests to handle the hot weather. Indeed, the couple own a top of the range codfish firm, importing this fish, very appreciated by the Portuguese people, from Norway, the country having the best codfish in the world.



After the ceremony, the just married couple followed by their cortege gathered before the front door of the beautiful villa to congratulate the bride and groom one by one before throwing them petals of roses while they were going down the stairs. Nothing as romantic as classic and traditions! In the backyard, by the pool, in front of a breathtaking view on the endless ocean and the beautiful sunset, nothing better to enjoy a cocktail to celebrate such a big day and take incredible everlasting photos.



In the dining room, we could find one more time the “Nature side” of this vintage wedding by the sea with centrepieces made of wood, flowers and plants.

The numbers of the tables were made by the bride’s mum, what gave a more sentimental and authentic touch to this vintage decoration since nothing is better than Do It Yourself decoration for vintage style wedding.

The seating plan, as well homemade, was so gorgeous and above all this so vintage! Made directly on an old door, the guests’ names for each table were put in a vintage style frame. Family and friends could write down their best wishes to the groom and bride on a guest book, perfectly enhanced on a beautiful vintage desk as well as the gifts which also were not that common since it was canned codfish, to remind the job of the couple. Codfish was also present during the whole diner, from codfish pastries as appetizers to codfish with bread in the main course and codfish “pataniscas” (a Portuguese speciality)for children, it was exclusively top of the range Norwegian codfish from the bride and groom’s firm.



What a great moving vintage wedding in Villa São Paulo!
