Dream Wedding at Hotel Unique: Daniela and Marcelo
WEDDINGG – How did you meet? Daniela – A cousin of mine introduced us. WEDDINGG – How did the marriage proposal and engagement happen?
Daniela – Marcelo proposed over dinner celebrating two years of dating at Restaurante Fasano! It was one day before Christmas, December 23, 2016. We celebrated our engagement in March 2017 at the São Paulo branch of Iate Clube de Santos.
WEDDINGG – What was it like planning the wedding, dealing with doubts and expectations, and hiring professionals? Daniela – Believe it or not, I was a very practical and relaxed bride! I didn't spend time researching things, I had nothing planned in my head and I'd never been one to read bridal magazines or websites, or visit several professionals in the same category. My planner Viki Albuquerque helped me immensely. She is so sweet and knew the professionals' work very well. At practically every meeting with suppliers, I'd end up booking them without thinking twice.
WEDDINGG – How did you feel on your wedding day before it all began, and what did you think when you heard your entrance music with the doors still closed? Daniela – I was very calm and happy on my wedding day. I had been engaged for a year and three months, and I couldn't wait for the big day to arrive. There are so many details, but in the end I just wanted to get married! The only idea I'd always had was to enter to the main theme from The Phantom of the Opera. It might sound strange, but I've always loved the musical and that music in particular. I find it beautiful and grand, with a powerful sound and a wonderful orchestra—exactly what a bride's entrance should be.
WEDDINGG – What was the experience of getting married like for you?
Daniela – Wonderful. I love my husband very much, and it was so nice to decide on every detail together! Imagining what everything would be like on the day is such a lovely feeling.
WEDDINGG – Your advice from one bride to another? Enjoy every stage of preparation, because it's such a wonderful time! Daniela – Rely on a wedding planner whom you trust and who is always by your side! Viki was always extremely professional and dedicated; I'd recommend her without hesitation. And enjoy the party to the fullest because it goes by so quickly, and you miss it so much afterwards!
Wedding at Hotel Unique
WEDDINGG – What décor did you envision for the ceremony and reception?
Daniela – I wanted the church to have a mirrored aisle and trees in shades of red with candelabras. Bacchin completely surpassed my expectations. I thought both the church and reception décor were spectacular. At the party there was a 20-metre-long dessert table in the hotel foyer, and that entire area was red and wine-colored with beautiful pastel floral arrangements. All the walls were covered in fabric—wine-red in the dessert room and beige inside the ballroom. Even the floor was carpeted! I can't begin to describe all the details. Bacchin did an extraordinary job and made it completely my style.
