Hermine and Pep’s love story began in the midst of a challenging time. They met while skiing in St. Moritz, just one month before the Covid pandemic arrived.

Their bond grew stronger during this time, leading to their decision to marry two years later in this amazing place, in a luxury Hostal La Gavina setting.
Bridal Morning
Hermine’s bridal look was the embodiment of elegance. Her gown, crafted by one of Spain’s most prestigious designers, Santos Costura, featured a grand wild silk skirt layered over the original dress, adding a dramatic yet graceful touch. She paired the gown with comfortable Valentino shoes, perfect for dancing until sunrise. A Cartier choker and bracelet, gifted by her mother-in-law on the wedding day, added a stunning surprise to complete her look. Marina from Makeup Hair Barcelona created a flawless makeup look, enhancing Hermine’s natural beauty with a soft, radiant finish.
Groom's Fashion
Pep opted for a classic and sophisticated look with a tuxedo from Tom Ford. He recalled the memorable moment of doing his final fitting at Santa Eulalia, one of Barcelona’s most exclusive stores, where he found himself alongside a famous football player, adding an unexpected twist to his wedding preparations.
Ceremony
The venue’s iconic arches and terraces, with its breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea, framed the couple’s ceremony beautifully, creating a scene that was both romantic and timeless. The couple stood before their loved ones, surrounded by beautiful floral arrangements of soft pink and white roses, which added a romantic touch to the setting. The bridesmaids, dressed in striking red gowns, and the groomsmen, in classic black and white tuxedos, lined up beside the couple, adding to the visual harmony of the scene.
"We decided to work with the amazing Pedro Navarro who came from Marbella with 5 trucks of flowers for the wedding and post-wedding events. The most stunning roses I’ve never seen in my live."
Aperitive
After the ceremony, guests gathered on the lawn for the aperitif, where their vibrant, colorful attire turned the moment into a high-fashion event. The mix of bold hues against the elegant floral decor created a striking scene. A live band played in the background, adding to the lively and stylish atmosphere as everyone celebrated under the warm sun.
