LK & AJ’s Destination Wedding in Portugal - Romantic Garden Wedding at Quinta da Bella Vista, Sintra

Nestled in the lush hills of Sintra, LK & AJ’s destination wedding in Portugal, at Quinta da Bella Vista was a breathtaking celebration of love, artistry, and nature’s quiet grandeur. Designed and orchestrated by the talented wedding planner Petra Simões, the day unfolded like a living fairytale — romantic, modern, and effortlessly elegant.

The ceremony took place in a serene garden setting where flowers seemed to bloom naturally from the earth, gracefully framing the aisle. Arranged in soft tones and organic forms, the floral design gave the impression that the garden itself had been waiting for this very moment — timeless, tender, and beautifully intimate.

After the vows, guests were welcomed into a cocktail area bathed in shades of green, purple, and white, where every detail reflected a balance of sophistication and warmth. Subtle patterns and seasonal fabrics — a nod to early autumn — created a cozy atmosphere, inviting everyone to relax and savor the moment as the golden light filtered through the trees.

As night fell, the celebration continued inside the estate’s iconic greenhouse, transformed into a dreamy dining space. Two long S-shaped tables curved gracefully through the room, creating a sense of flow and connection. Between them, a lush garden of flowers seemed to rise naturally from the floor, as though the plants had always belonged there. The soft glow of candles and the surrounding greenery brought a magical warmth to the space — a perfect blend of modern elegance and romantic whimsy.

With every detail meticulously curated, Petra Simões captured her signature aesthetic: movement, color, and elegance. The entire design spoke of a romantic garden world, yet with a contemporary touch that felt both refined and alive. It was a wedding that didn’t just take place in a garden — it became one.

LK & AJ’s day at Quinta da Bella Vista was more than a wedding; it was a story told through flowers, light, and love — a true reflection of Petra’s artistry and the couple’s beautiful connection.
