Wedding at Buffet França: Juliana and Rodrigo
WEDDINGG – How did you meet?
Juliana – We met through an app, although we also had mutual friends.
WEDDINGG – How did the marriage proposal and engagement happen?
Juliana – It was a surprise! It happened on the groom's birthday. He hosted a party, and at the end, when only close friends and family were left, he took the microphone from the country-music duo who were performing and asked my father for my hand in marriage. Then Bruno and Marrone's song “Quer casar comigo?” (“Will you marry me?”) began playing, and he gave me a solitaire ring.
WEDDINGG – What was it like planning the wedding, dealing with doubts and expectations, and hiring the professionals?
Juliana – It was all very enjoyable. I tried to hire professionals who had worked in the wedding industry for many years, so I would feel more secure and confident that there wouldn't be any unpleasant surprises on such a special day.
WEDDINGG – How did you feel on your wedding day before it all began, and what did you think when you heard your entrance music while the doors were still closed?
Juliana – On the wedding day, I was calmer than I had imagined. I got ready at the hair salon and stayed with the people closest to me. But when I reached the church door and the bells and wedding march began to play, it became difficult to hold back the emotion. My father was very moved too; we looked at each other, and both of us had tears in our eyes!
WEDDINGG – What was it like to experience getting married?
Juliana – Incredible! Everything happened exactly as we had planned and dreamed!
WEDDINGG – What advice would you give to another bride?
Juliana – Do plenty of research and negotiate thoroughly with suppliers.

WEDDINGG – What did you envision for the décor at the ceremony and reception?
Juliana – I got married in May, when camellias bloom, so I decorated the church exclusively with white camellias!
For the reception, I chose shades of pink, from pale pink to fuchsia, and different flowers such as gloriosa lilies, roses, orchids and tulips, mingled with greenery and a little yellow in the larger arrangements.
