A MAJESTIC MOUNTAIN WEDDING AT VIVOOD ALICANTE :

K & C’s Unforgettable Celebration at VIVOOD Landscape Hotel

Some weddings feel like they were lifted straight from the pages of a magazine — not because they’re staged or overly polished, but because every moment feels intentional, emotional, and beautifully aligned with the couple at the heart of it. K & C’s late‑October destination wedding in Spain was exactly that kind of celebration.

Travelling from the UK with their closest family and friends, they chose the extraordinary VIVOOD Landscape Hotel & Eco Resort for their Alicante wedding — a venue renowned for its architectural brilliance, panoramic mountain views, and immersive connection to nature. Nestled deep in the Guadalest Valley, surrounded by olive trees, wildflowers, and the ancient Castell de Guadalest, VIVOOD is a sanctuary of design and tranquillity. It is one of the most exclusive luxury wedding venues in Spain, and it set the perfect stage for a celebration filled with elegance, emotion, and unforgettable scenery.

The Venue: VIVOOD Landscape Hotel — A Luxury Eco‑Retreat in the Mountains

VIVOOD is not simply a hotel; it is an architectural experience. Designed by architects who are also the hoteliers, every structure is crafted to blend seamlessly into the landscape. The resort’s signature aesthetic — minimalist, glass‑fronted, and deeply connected to the land — creates a sense of calm and expansiveness that is impossible to replicate.

For couples dreaming of a mountain wedding in Spain, VIVOOD offers:

• 360‑degree panoramic views of the Alicante mountains

• Sustainable luxury, with eco‑friendly design and natural materials

• Exclusive privacy, ideal for intimate destination weddings

• A serene atmosphere, where the only sounds are the breeze and birdsong

• Architectural drama, with cantilevered platforms and infinity‑style water features

It is a venue that elevates every moment — a place where nature, design, and emotion come together effortlessly.

The Ceremony Space: Suspended in the Landscape

K & C exchanged vows on VIVOOD’s iconic glass cantilever platform, a breathtaking architectural feature that appears to float above the valley. With water at the front edge and towering mountains to the left, the couple looked as though they were suspended in the landscape itself.

The ceremony space was framed by:

• Olive trees

• Wildflower planting

• Soft Mediterranean greenery

• The vast, rugged beauty of the Alicante mountains

White ribbons and delicate gypsophila were tied to the guests’ chairs, fluttering gently in the warm October breeze. Even this late in the season, the sun was bright and generous, so guests were offered elegant ivory Chinese‑style parasols — a beautiful and practical touch that added to the romantic aesthetic.

It was a ceremony setting that made guests gasp as they arrived — a true statement location for a luxury destination wedding in Spain.

The Bridal Style: Elegance, Emotion, and Personal Meaning

K’s bridal look was the perfect blend of classic elegance and deeply personal detail.

She wore an ivory strapless beaded gown, shimmering softly in the mountain light. The silhouette was timeless, the beadwork intricate, and the overall effect breathtaking. Her satin sandals added a touch of understated luxury, perfect for the modern bride who values both beauty and comfort.

But the most meaningful detail was her veil.

K had chosen a personalised veil embroidered with:

• The couple’s initials

• The initials of grandparents who were no longer with them

It was a quiet, powerful tribute — a way of carrying loved ones with her as she walked toward her future. As the breeze lifted the veil gently throughout the ceremony, the embroidery caught the light, creating moments of pure poetry.

Her bouquet was a classic arrangement of white roses, tied with an ivory ribbon that trailed softly as she walked. Simple, elegant, and beautifully in harmony with the surroundings.

The Wedding Party: A Palette of Blue, Cream, and Classic Black

The wedding party looked effortlessly refined against the natural backdrop.

Bridesmaids

The bridesmaids wore rich blue satin bias‑cut dresses, the fabric catching the light with every movement. The colour was a perfect choice — bold yet elegant, and beautifully complementary to the mountain tones.

Their bouquets featured cream roses and gypsophila, tied with soft white ribbons that danced in the breeze.

Groomsmen

The groomsmen wore sharp black tuxedos with polished shoes — a timeless, formal look that contrasted beautifully with the rugged landscape. Their white rose buttonholes tied the entire aesthetic together, echoing the bride’s bouquet and adding a crisp, classic touch.

The overall palette — ivory, cream, blue, and black — was sophisticated, modern, and perfectly suited to a luxury Alicante wedding.

Music Woven Into Every Moment

Music wasn’t just a feature of the day — it was part of the couple’s story.

From the vinyl‑record table plan to the curated ceremony playlist, every element reflected their shared love of sound and artistry.

But the most unforgettable moment came just before the ceremony began.

K, a talented singing teacher and accomplished vocalist, secretly recorded her own version of “Blackbird” as a surprise for her guests. As they gathered on the platform, the song drifted through the air — her voice, her emotion, her gift — setting the tone for everything that followed.

It was intimate. It was personal. It was magic.

The Ceremony: Emotion, Laughter, and Golden Light

As their Costa Blanca wedding celebrant, I had the honour of crafting and delivering a ceremony that reflected their personalities, their humour, and their deep connection.

There were so many beautiful moments:

• The emotional first look as K walked down the aisle

• The heartfelt vows that brought tears to many eyes

• The small, joyful giggles when the rings didn’t quite fit

• A touching poem read by K’s aunt, delivered with warmth and sincerity

The mountains stood tall around us, the sky hazy with late‑October light, and the atmosphere was filled with love, laughter, and genuine presence.

Guests were visibly moved — not just by the ceremony itself, but by the sheer beauty of the surroundings. Many told me afterward that they had never experienced anything like it.

Golden Hour: A Photographer’s Dream

As the sun dipped behind the mountains, the sky turned soft gold, casting a warm glow across the valley. The images captured by the talented D’althea Photography team were nothing short of breathtaking.

Golden hour at VIVOOD is a phenomenon in itself — the mountains blush, the air softens, and the entire landscape feels suspended in time.

K & C’s portraits were:

• Dramatic

• Romantic

• Cinematic

• Full of movement and emotion

The kind of images couples dream of when planning a destination wedding in Spain.

The Banquet: Regal, Joyful, and Full of Surprises

The evening banquet was a perfect reflection of the couple: elegant yet fun, refined yet full of personality.

As the MC for the dinner, I coordinated the flow of the evening — from the service to the speeches — ensuring everything unfolded seamlessly.

The speeches were genuinely hilarious, heartfelt, and beautifully delivered. Guests were entertained at every turn, with thoughtful touches woven throughout the evening to keep the atmosphere lively and joyful.

When the new Mr & Mrs cut their cake, the applause was thunderous — a moment of pure celebration.

The First Dance: A Tribute Only They Could Pull Off

Their first dance was quintessentially them — meaningful, playful, and unforgettable.

They chose a song that held deep significance, and in a moment that had everyone smiling, their two beloved cats made a cameo in a special tribute woven into the experience.

It was one of those “you had to be there” moments — charming, unexpected, and utterly delightful.

A Celebration to Remember

K & C’s wedding was more than a ceremony. It was an experience — a luxurious, heartfelt, joy‑filled celebration set in one of the most extraordinary wedding venues in Spain.

From the mountain views to the music, from the emotional vows to the golden‑hour portraits, from the laughter‑filled banquet to the unforgettable first dance — every moment was crafted with intention and lived with love.

As a Costa Blanca wedding celebrant, it was an honour to be part of such a spectacular day.
