Classic Wedding at São Paulo's Jockey Club: Carla and Fabio
Classic Wedding: Carla and Fabio. This classic wedding took place at the famous Igreja Nossa Senhora do Brasil, followed by a reception at São Paulo's Jockey Club for 400 guests.
WEDD'G – What was it like planning the wedding, handling doubts and expectations, and hiring the professionals?
Carla – Over the previous two years we'd been to several weddings and gathered ideas about the décor and the style of celebration we really wanted. I've always been more traditional and Fabio more modern, so we chose a classic green-and-white design with contemporary touches: lounge areas and a food station available to guests from the very start. Because our reception began late, at 10 p.m., guests could already have dinner while the formal photographs were being taken. Our goal was a celebration without pauses once we entered the ballroom. Most professionals were chosen through referrals and weddings we had attended. I also recommend researching specialized wedding websites and checking Reclame Aqui or the internet for complaints and whether they're justified. When you choose good professionals—we had no problems with any of ours—you no longer need to worry. It's important to trust your decisions. I'm extremely detail-oriented, so I chose to take part personally in every booking, even with the help of my planner Bebeta, who was essential because of her experience with vendors and for keeping the bride calm enough to enjoy the day. Another indispensable person was my mother, an art teacher who is also very attentive to detail. One of the most beautiful and important things she made for me, all by herself, was my wedding mantilla, which will stay in the family, as well as all the wrappers for the bem-casados.
WEDD'G – What was it like to experience getting married?
Carla – We were truly happy, because everything went exactly as planned. A wedding is an emotional celebration full of meaning and also the one day when a couple can bring together all the people they love most in one place for one purpose: to celebrate love and the beginning of a new family. That's why it's absolutely worth it!
WEDD'G – What advice would you give another bride?
Carla – For a bride, the wedding actually begins with the preparations. Being part of every detail means making the most of every second of this wonderful, special, once-in-a-lifetime phase. Once you've chosen a supplier, don't look back: trust your decision. My advice is that the wedding must reflect the couple's own style. It's their celebration!
