From Melbourne to Majorca

Wear: Vintage dress, earrings & bag // Miss Sixty wedges

As you’ve seen from my Instagram photos, the past 3 days have been EPIC. After all, not many people have destination weddings in Majorca, Spain, and not many have an entire weekend filled with festivities. It was a modern-day fairy tale, a stuff-only-dreams-are-made-of kind involving a castle, a dessert buffet, a hog-on-a-spit, a swimming pool, a helicopter, and much much more!

My friend Xin (in the fiery QiPao) and I have been friends since high school. We bonded over gruesome maths equations, a zest for life and our lack of siblings. It was through her that I met my husband! A couple of years ago, she moved to London to work and there, she met the love of her life. The meticulous and thoughtful couple planned everything with their friends and family in mind. Essentially their ultimate aim, aside from getting married, was for everyone to enjoy a massive, massive party. And since all 97 of their guests have traveled from near and far to attend, many of us having not seen each other for years, what better way to kick off the weekend than with welcome drinks and canapes at Son Brull Hotel & Spa? Especially when the view is almost as grand as the wedding that was to follow. The scenery was stunning and the refreshments exquisite, but nothing compared with the rekindling of friendships.
