Grace & Kyle from Tunbridge Wells, first met when they were just 16 years old at a friend's birthday party. That love at first sight teenage meeting turned into a lifelong relationship and Kyle proposed during what Grace thought was simply going to be a birthday celebration.

Kyle had booked a beautiful hotel and as soon as they arrived he popped the question to Grace and of course she said yes!

Grace & Kyle had no hesitation as to where they wished to get married so in April 2024 their wedding was booked here in Spain.

Why Choose Marbella for your Wedding?

Grace's aunt is Rachel, the owner and wedding planner extraordinaire of the beautiful Cortijo Rosa Blanca. As soon as Grace and Kyle had become officially engaged they already knew they wanted to get married at the Cortijo Rosa Blanca so after a phone call to Rachel they were booked in for June 2025.

Having Grace's aunt, Rachel, organise their wedding made the experience even more special, it was a place they had previously spent many holidays at over the years, it held many wonderful memories and they were about to make plenty more.

Grace says, 'all we wanted for our wedding day was to have fun with our closest family and friends'.

Did you have any difficulties planning your Wedding in Spain?

Absolutely none, Grace knew the day would be perfect and confidently handed over the reins to Rachel and her team to make their magic.

The style was elegant and classic with timeless green and white florals which worked perfectly with the gorgeous setting nestled in the olive groves at the Cortijo.

We adore the details on the day from the welcome sign to the table settings. An elegant theme with beautiful stationery by Nulki Nulks complimenting the white and green decor with touches of gold.

Tell us more about your Wedding Dress and Outfits

Grace's gorgeous wedding dress was from Isabella Grace Bridal, a multi award winning bridal gown shop in the heart of Tunbridge Wells.

The beautiful sage green bridesmaid dresses were from Six Stories and complimented the wedding colours so well, the groomsmen outfits were from Moss Bros.

Grace's bridal bouquet was a simple posy of white roses and the bridesmaids bouquets were a mix of white roses and gypsophila.

Kyle and Grace officially got married before their Spanish wedding at the registry office in Tunbridge Wells but this was their 'real wedding' with a lovely wedding ceremony conducted by Natasha Johnson. As the guests arrived they were serenaded by Jesus Gomez on the Spanish guitar and Jesus also played some lovely pieces during the ceremony.

Guests were then invited to the cocktail area for post ceremony drinks of sangria and fresh mojitos and a selection of delicious canapes, duck wontons, chicken satay, salmon lettuce, tuna tataki, prawn tempura &

avocado toast. Live singer, Simone carried the atmosphere through the cocktail hour and dinner.

The dinner was a sit down meal, sharing tapas to start, fillet steak/ vegetarian wellington and a trio of desserts and later in the evening hotdogs and mini burgers were served to soak up the drinks!

A lovely surprise was the wedding cake by Louise organised by Grace's parents.

For their first dance, Grace and Kyle chose Teddy Swims' cover of 'You're Still the One', a perfect soundtrack for a couple whose love has grown steadily over the years.

There were no formal traditions, just a beautiful day, incredible food, a gorgeous setting and the people who mattered the most to Grace and Kyle.
