I’m going to be honest with you, when I started getting so much demand for destination weddings, I got a bit nervous. Founding an eco-friendly and sustainable company that vows to be as green as possible, but specialises in destination weddings can seem a little hypocritical, I’m sure.
When starting up Open the Door events four years ago, there was nothing that mattered more to me than founding a business that synchronised with my beliefs and values. Designing minimal waste sustainable events was essential, as well as working with ethical businesses and supporting the local community. To celebrate our four year anniversary, I’m excited to announce that we will be giving back to something incredible that is happening right here in Spain.
An old Spanish colonial house in the woods, tall trees blocking out the hot august sunlight, macrame and wild flowers hanging at the altar, guests being greeted with refreshing mojitos and delicious organic local food, the most fun-loving couple and wild party vibes until the early hours of the morning.
A shiver runs down my spine as I remember the weekend we spent in the mountains in southern Spain with Ivan and Angela. The unique and intense love they share pours out of every image and still gives me butterflies.
An Andalusian rustic country cottage that sits on acres and acres of luscious green land encircled with breathtaking mountain views is enough to make anyone feel giddy with excitement. But, when the owner’s ultimate goal is to design a space that is self-sufficient taking sustainability one step further, to land regeneration with the art of permaculture, then that’s the icing on the cake.
Choose twenty of your favourite people and escape to this Spanish colonial house in a forest. This elegantly styled home opens onto beautiful gardens that turns into wild woodland, surrounding the house. Leaving you with the sensation of being in the wilderness when you are only a stone's throw away from one of the most beautiful cities in Andalusia.
