Rachel and Jack, who met on a night out in Manchester, share a deep connection with Ibiza. Their love for the island, its hidden beaches, coves, and vibrant nightlife, inspired the boho-chic theme of their wedding.
The couple chose the church of Santa Eularia for their wedding ceremony. The limestone walls of the chapel, combined with the red roof tiles, created a beautiful backdrop for the lovely ceremony. And it was the perfect choice.
Makeup artist Ruthie Palmer, founder of Made Up In Ibiza, created a glossy and fresh look for the bride and the bridesmaids. Rachel opted for a half-up hairstyle, with her beautiful golden locks cascading down her shoulders, creating a romantic look.
Rachel, a fashion buyer, experienced a last-minute change of heart about her wedding dress just two weeks before the big day. Opting for a Galia Lahav gown, the dress underwent swift adjustments to make it to Ibiza. The effort proved worthwhile, as the gown perfectly complemented Rachel’s petite figure. The dress, combined with the hairstyle, added a touch of magic to the overall bridal look.
Jack’s happy wedding morning unfolded in a pleasant and friendly atmosphere. Alongside his friends and family, Jack prepared for the wedding. The groom opted for a black-classic tuxedo with satin lapels, adding a touch of sophistication to his overall look.
The wedding ceremony began, and the radiant bride, escorted by her father, gracefully entered the chapel. It was a spellbinding moment; every guest’s gaze was fixed upon the bride, bewitched by her ethereal beauty. The groom, filled with anticipation, stood patiently at the altar. Amidst the tender ceremony, Rachel and Jack exchanged vows that stirred the hearts of all the witnesses, leaving an indelible impression of love in the air.
The incredible gold-plated altar at Pui De Misa, the church of Santa Eularia, is where the couple chose for their wedding ceremony, with the wonderful acoustics creating the perfect amplification for Samantha’s classical and operatic performances, enough to leave anyone stingy-eyed and full of emotion.
The excitement of Rachel and Jack was no less romantic. They emerged from the chapel, showered in rose petals amid joyful congratulations from family and friends, and hopped into a beautiful convertible that whisked them away to the venue where the wedding reception was set to take place.
After the wedding ceremony, the guests gathered for a cocktail hour to spend time with each other and the newlyweds. The guests enjoyed the wonderful atmosphere, delightful cocktails, and live music.
The entire area where the reception and cocktail hour took place was beautifully adorned and meticulously organized by Hidden Treasures Ibiza. Thanks to a thoughtful approach to wedding planning, all areas were arranged to delight every guest. For instance, the planning team carefully crafted entertainment for the little ones. A special corner with a trampoline, slides, and toys was arranged for the children. Interactive zones were also thoughtfully planned for the adults to enjoy.
The planning team at Hidden Treasures Ibiza also approached every detail of Rachel and Jack’s wedding with love and attention. The wedding venue, Atzaro, adorned with delicate dried and fresh flowers in shades of white, caramel, and iris, showcased the perfect combination of soft draped fabric and vibrant candelabras. The stylists meticulously created stationery and venue decorations that added an exquisite and captivating touch to the surroundings. Hidden Treasures Ibiza and their creative vision, experience, and professionalism organized and decorated all this beauty.
When Jack and Rachel entered the reception, the guests warmly welcomed them. It was an incredible moment; a lively melody filled the air, and the guests greeted the newlyweds joyfully, waving white napkins. Sharing their memories of the wedding, the planners from Hidden Treasures Ibiza reflected “Non-stop entertainment and logistics, and a golden hour as if it were pre-ordered! Love and laughter were so prominent throughout the day that we felt we were all a part of their extended family. Every second was just fantastic!”
During the reception, a significant highlight unfolded as Jack delivered a heartfelt speech. Striking a perfect balance between laughter and tears, his words resonated with the guests. The couple, currently residing in Manchester, welcomed a guest list that boasted fashion industry moguls and celebrities.
Especially for the guests, Rachel and Jack invited the talented vocalists Natalie Page and Anderton, who delivered lively performances with captivating compositions, delighting everyone in attendance at the wedding.
During Ibiza’s golden hour, the radiant light provided the perfect glow to frame and illuminate the most stunning couples’ portrait images, captured by the renowned Ibiza photographer Stephanie Shenton.
The culmination of the wedding reception was the beautiful cake-cutting ceremony and Rachel and Jack’s exquisite wedding dance. Guests surrounded the dancing couple, holding sparklers, creating a romantic yet vibrant and festive atmosphere.
The epic wedding party, filled with vibrant moments, continued until the early morning. Rachel changed into a party dress made exclusively by Annie Doble, the owner of Annie’s Ibiza. They partied hard and danced along with break dancers until the early hours, the perfect way to end the night.
