Rinagrace & Justin

Perched high on the cliffs of Sintra, where mist and myth intertwine, Camélia Gardens reveals itself like a dream—a 19th-century palace surrounded by lush nature and the timeless romance of old Portugal. Its serene atmosphere set the tone for an intimate destination wedding that blended elegance, emotion, and effortless style. Amid winding paths and sun-dappled groves, Rinagrace and Justin found themselves captivated by the garden’s quiet magic. Their wedding destination in Sintra began in the palace’s storied halls, where laughter echoed and champagne flowed as friends gathered to celebrate the morning of their union. The ceremony unfolded outdoors beside the palace, framed by cascading greenery —an ethereal setting where nature and history intertwined. Guests were enveloped in the calm beauty of the landscape, every detail thoughtfully designed to feel both organic and refined. For the reception, long tables stretched beneath the palace balconies, dressed in a palette inspired by the couple’s Filipino heritage. Layered textures, natural linens, and vibrant floral design created a warm, expressive aesthetic that reflected their roots and their joy. Every element—from table styling to ambient lighting—was a tribute to connection, culture, and celebration. As the evening deepened, the celebration continued inside the grand halls of the palace, where music, laughter, and spirited dancing filled the marble corridors. A few whimsical moments (including bathtubs turned into unexpected photo backdrops) made the night truly unforgettable—a perfect ending to a day that felt both cinematic and deeply personal.
