After one year working on, there's not more satisfaction for us that to see how our couples enjoy their wedding day in Granada.

They were getting married in one of the most beautiful churches in Granada, located in the Albaycin quarter, one of the oldest moorish areas in Granada city that is World Heritage too.

After the ceremony, the newly-weds and all their wedding guests took some drinks and tapas in a restaurant located in one of the most famous squares in the Albaycin named San Miguel Bajo Square. After this, all of them were to a Moorish Palace with stunning views over the Alhambra Palace for having a perfect wedding reception dinner and party until late in the night...

No doubt, a perfect memory for this so kind and friendly couple. Congratulations!

Wedding cake or wedding cupcakes?

2010-11-20T19:42:00.001+01:00

Often couples ask us for a stand of cupcakes instead of a wedding cake. They think that this is a good way to save their money, but wedding Cupcakes don’t means always to be less expensive than a Wedding cake. While wedding cake take a great work of cooking and decoration, wedding cupcakes are a great decoration work, each one is a little piece of art, as you want delight your guest by taste and also by sight. So really you must think about cupcakes as a way to avoid the “cutting the wedding cake” moment in your reception, but not as a way to save your money. People think that cupcakes are for casual style weddings or informal weddings, but they are on a mistake. Cupcakes can be a perfect element for elegant weddings: Choose for your little pieces of art a disposable paper for muffings with a great design -we reccomend you Vestli House Design-, and you will have a top quality stand of cupcakes for your wedding reception.

A perfect wedding in Granada

2010-04-09T17:48:00.006+02:00

Here we show you another successfully event arranged by AlhambraWeddings. The 27th on March 2010 it there was a beautiful civil ceremony performed by one of the AlhambraWedding's officiants in one place so emblematic and full of history like the Hotel Santa Paula's Chapel. This gorgeous place, was the Old Santa Paula’s Convent chapel, today turned in one of the most magnificent and luxurious Granada city’s hotels. To decorate the chapel we count on Carolina Guadalupe – Bouquet and her sixth sense as her “savoir faire”. Tall glass vases, white roses, candles and pearls... So special and romantic like the bridal couple that made their promise of eternal love in this idyllic and romantic location.

The wedding reception was offered in a special and emblematic location as the Carmen of Mártires. Named by the arabs “campo de Ahabul”, the Carmen of Mártires was the place where the king Boabdil surrender the city of Granada to the Catholics Kings. The Carmen is located at the Alhambra’s hill, surrounded by stunning and romantics gardens that invite you to stroll in. The caterer was served by Cátering Veláquez, one of the most prestigious in Granada, a first quality food, wine and service. Everything was decorated, once again, by Carolina – Bouquet. Finally, an unforgettable event for this couple and their guests; also a rewarding moment for all professionals involved on this day by the AlhambraWeddings’ planning.

Zankyou Web - Alhambra Weddings interview

2010-03-18T17:15:00.004+01:00

As you plan your wedding, many of you may have thought of taking your big day abroad. The south of Spain, popular with many couples for its variety of locations and beautiful weather, is one option. And if you’re far away and wondering how to get everything done, what about hiring the services of a wedding planner? Alhambra Weddings, based in Granada, provides this service to couples interested in getting married in one of Andalusia’s most beautiful cities.

Based on the principles of professionalism, good value and flexibility, Alhambra Weddings will organise your big day, from a complete planning service to advice on specific aspects of your wedding. Here we talk to Alhambra Weddings’ Angeles Porcel about how to plan a wedding in Granada.

Why Granada?

This is a magical city. Granada and its surroundings bring together natural beauty, stunning countryside, architecture and a wonderful climate which really does make it one of a kind. What better place to celebrate a beautiful wedding?

How does organising a weddings with Alhambra Weddings work?

Alhambra Weddings doesn’t sell packages. Every single ceremony is made to measure according to your requirements. With clients from outside Spain we have identified a series of services that they will need given they’re not in Granada. These services include assistance in finding a wedding or blessing venue and the reception venue. We then liaise with the venue, the caterers etc, organise accommodation for the couple and their guests, handle contracts, schedules and bookings and track payment due dates. We will also arrange musicians, flowers for the church, bouquets and button holes, a photographer, hairdresser and make up for the bridal party and transport to the wedding venue for the couple.

But it’s all about flexibility, right?

Exactly. Some couples look for something more intimate, so we prepare a service that’s much more specific. Our aim is to make it easy for foreigners to get married in Granada, and that’s where our specialist knowledge comes in.

You mean your specialist knowledge of the city?

Not only that. We’re not tied to any specific suppliers, rather we get the best deals according to the needs of the couple. We can offer a wide range of suppliers but always at better prices than if you went to look for them yourself. And of course, if you’re not actually here in Granada, searching for suppliers one by one is an arduous task. At Alhambra Weddings we take this pressure off, but don’t make any decisions without consulting the client, so you’re always in control of the final decisions.

Handmade wedding gifts and favors. Naturals soaps and creams.

2010-03-08T17:42:00.000+01:00

All handmade. All fresh. All made from genuine olive oil. This is the Lujos, luxuries from de Sierra slogan. Seven years ago, Ann and Kenton Smith, two IT executives from Southern England, decided it was time for a better quality life, away from the computer. After spending two years planning and finding the right place to live, they sold their house, packed their possessions and drove to the Andalucian white village of Yunquera to begin their new lives. They purchased a derelict finca, 4 km from Yunquera, adjoining the Sierra de las Nieves Parque Natural, taking possession of 800 abandoned olive trees. They spent almost 18 months restoring their farmhouse and gradually bringing the olive trees back into production, before launching their own olive oil, Yunquera Gold, a premium quality, traditional olive oil (now sold in Spain, the UK and the USA). The freshness of their products means that they do not need to use the nasty preservatives that the large cosmetic companies use. They use as few preservatives as possible, meaning that all their products are as natural as they can make them. You can choose your Lujos products between soaps, creams - for face, body and eyes-, classic for men and scents. All Lujos items can be combined into gift packs of your own making. Visit their website for more info and orders Lujos, luxuries from the sierra.
