At WedVibes, we’re always drawn to the stories behind the aesthetics—the vision boards, voice notes, and late-night Pinterest scrolls that quietly shape iconic wedding moments. So, we did what we do best: reached out to real brides who are planning weddings their way. From spontaneous proposals to guest lists made on Google Docs, these brides are rewriting the rules and curating celebrations that feel less like tradition and more like self-expression.
In this series, they open up about the moodboards they can’t stop tweaking, the TikTok trends they’re into, and the vendors who just get it. Expect real love stories, real planning highs (and lows), and plenty of inspiration for your own “main character” moment.
Meet The Couple
Myllena and Iran live in São Paulo, Brazil. Myllena is a content creator, while her fiancé works as a software engineer. Together, they share a love for reading, going to the movies, and discovering great restaurants around the city.
How did you meet?
As introverts, meeting anywhere else would’ve been unlikely, so, online.
The Proposal
During a trip to Vienna, he told me we had won a private tour of the Belvedere Museum through a giveaway, even showing me a very convincing confirmation email. I believed him completely. The museum was reserved just for the two of us, and there, in front of The Kiss by Klimt, he proposed. My favorite day ever.
The Wedding Vision
1. When and where is your wedding taking place?
August 2027, in Londrina, Brazil, my hometown, an intentional choice to be close to family and loved ones.
2. Describe your wedding in 3 words.
Intimate, delicate and unforgettable.
3. What are three non-negotiable elements for your big day?
White flowers only (no exceptions), a day built for real moments with the people we love most, and food that feels like a celebration in itself.

Planning Process
1. What’s been the highlight of your planning process so far?
Planning every detail alongside the person I love and watching our wedding slowly come to life.
2. What’s surprised you most about wedding planning?
How much truly needs to be planned in advance!
3. Is there an Instagram account, TikTok trend, or aesthetic you’re secretly loving right now?
I have to admit, I’m completely in love with fabric-draped altars.
4. What’s one piece of advice you’d give to someone just starting their planning journey?
Don’t rush. Enjoy the process, it can be light and fun. Plan calmly and choose only what truly makes sense for you as a couple, a day this special should feel unmistakably like you.
