Ana Belén and Jorge were very clear about this and we agreed on it at our first meeting. Theirs would be a autumn weddingThe wedding was at the end of October, in the morning (how we love weddings in the morning!); an elegant wedding, where the colour palette would be super autumnal and where the soundtrack of their wedding would undoubtedly be The Beatles.
And with that as a starting point, with their full confidence, we organised a autumn wedding in Granada. For this, we chose two very local venues for the celebrations. For the wedding, the Basilica of Nuestra Señora de las Angustias, patron saint of our city; and for the celebration, Casa Real Del Soto de Roma, a palace with a history that goes back many centuries, as it is said that King Boabdil hunted in these lands.
Preparations
For the preparations, we booked a small boutique hotel in the centre of Granada, Hotel Casa Palacete 1822. The bride and groom stayed at the hotel with their entire family, and as you can see, the preparations reflect the familiarity and the many emotions that surfaced as the bride and groom prepared for their big day. Jess Photowas in charge of capturing each of the moments that we are going to share with you.
Jorge chose a suit by Cañizares Concept, which he complemented with personalised cufflinks (with the initials of the bride and groom).
He was accompanied by his parents and siblings. Jorge's mother was radiant, impeccably dressed in a classic mantilla and red dress.
A few metres away, a few floors above, Ana Belén was getting ready with her sister and parents.
For her big day, she chose a romantic dress from Jesus Peiró which she accessorised with forest green shoes from Uniq Shoes, Headdress of Silvia Peinado and Ramo de Armiflorwho was also in charge of the decoration of the estate (link to the article where we talked about the decoration of this wedding). here).

Ceremony
The hotel is very close to the church, which is why George decided to walk arm in arm with his mother to the Basilica.
Ana Belén, however, went in a classic car accompanied by her father. When they arrived at the door of the church, a nice surprise awaited them, The Beetles, a Beatles cover band, welcomed Ana Belén singing her favourite song, Here Comes The Sun.
The ceremony was tremendously emotional. Officiated by a family friend, it was full of unforgettable moments.
One of the rituals included in the ceremony was the blessing of the bride and groom with the rite of the veiling, in which the mothers of the bride and groom cover the couple with a veil as a symbol of protection.
As the bride and groom left, a shower of rice and petals awaited them.
