Renata and Murilo

May 2025

At the iconic Palácio do Freixo, Renata and Murilo gathered their closest family and friends for the third chapter of their love story. After an intimate courthouse ceremony and a heartfelt family celebration in their home country, this destination wedding in Portugal became the culminating expression of their journey — a celebration layered with meaning, heritage, and intention.

A palette of white and green connected all three moments. Timeless and understated, yet reimagined through a contemporary lens. Rather than leaning into tradition, we embraced fluidity: organic floral compositions, sculptural pillars framing the ceremony, and the river as a poetic backdrop

There was also a deeply personal thread running through every detail. Renata’s grandmother, Portuguese and born across the river in Vila Nova de Gaia, inspired a meaningful tribute. Carrying the surname Oliveira, she was honored through a thoughtfully crafted arrangement.

The dinner followed the same design choices, incorporating green apples and grapes alongside a large and lush floral selection. We celebrated spring with sweet peas, lilies of the valley, butterfly ranunculus, viburnum, tulips, and much more, with just a tropical touch — adding anthuriums and orchids to embrace the Brazilian roots, blending continents in a composition that felt both elegant and deeply personal.
