Shirley & Paul
An Alentejo Wedding
Some weddings are elegant. Some are wild. And some—like this one—are the perfect mix of both. Set against the rolling vineyards of Alentejo, this wedding was a day of timeless traditions, spontaneous laughter, and a whole lot of good wine.
The Love Story
With friends and family traveling from across the world, this wedding was about more than just the couple—it was a full-fledged celebration of love, connection, and shared experiences. Avid travelers, food lovers, and wine enthusiasts, they knew from the start that Portugal’s Alentejo wine country was the perfect setting for their big day.
the Perfect Venue
L’And Vineyards offered the ideal balance of sophistication and natural beauty. One of Alentejo’s standout wine estates, the estate provided vineyard views, contemporary architecture, and the kind of relaxed luxury that set the tone for an unforgettable wedding. The venue’s emphasis on gastronomy and wine made it the perfect match for a couple who wanted every detail of their wedding to reflect their passions.
The CEREMONY Plan
Shirley and Paul exchanged vows in a heartfelt ceremony surrounded by vineyards. The day unfolded with a mix of emotional moments and unexpected comedy—including the best man dropping the wedding rings through a hole in the deck (yes, really) and the groom’s mother proving she could hold her own with a well-timed vodka shot on the dance floor.
The Attire
With the vineyard setting in mind, the couple’s wedding looks were comfortable yet stylish. The bride’s gown was both modern and timeless, flowing beautifully against the backdrop, while the groom’s tailored suit struck the perfect balance between classic and relaxed.
