venue search in the destination of your choice
It’s no secret: Portugal has been emerging as one of the most sought-after Destination Wedding locations in Europe, over the last years. With its picturesque landscapes, magical Mediterranean climate and extensive coastline, basked in long and relaxing sunny days, Portugal is hands-down an idyllic scenario for romantic celebrations.
​
​
Whether you desire a bucolic wedding nestled in the enchanting hills of Sintra or a serene beach ceremony, Portugal offers a diverse array of stunning venues. From historic castles, palaces and fortresses to charming manor houses, the options are undoubtedly as diverse as they are breathtaking. Many of these places, steeped in history dating back to the 12th century, have been converted into luxury boutique hotels, offering impeccable service and unrivalled elegance for the most discerning couples.
​
​
As a wedding planner, based on a detailed brief and agreed-upon budget, MY DAY by LOUISE opens the doors of up to six venues that will perfectly align with your wishes, in every single way. With our know-how, we aim to create authentic events that go beyond your expectations.

floral design
At MY DAY by LOUISE, we like to perceive ourselves as versatile wedding planners, and so the floral decoration takes also part in the spectrum of our expertise. Thus, we are in constant search of elements to enhance our floral designs, in order to imprint the uniqueness of each event and ensure that the couple’s wedding vision is styled perfectly.
​
Our floral design transcends the traditional floral arrangement seen on wedding tables. We strive to design and create an aesthetic look that not only complements your vision but also creates a seamless harmony with the venue, encapsulating the emotions of the day.
You will often find me delicately cutting blooms and placing each flower in an arrangement in order to give it a final and personal twist. It’s these little touches that are able to transform ordinary floral displays into remarkable works of art.
