Kimi and Rodrigo got married at Villa Cecília, on Estrada da Pedra Bonita, in Itanhangá, Rio de Janeiro. A destination wedding with an outdoor ceremony, lots of green all around and a party that went on until the end of the night.
A wedding at Villa Cecília Rio
If you are researching Villa Cecília Rio as a wedding venue, this wedding shows how the space works in real life. It is a country estate with a white manor house, a large garden, a pool and a veranda, surrounded by forest.
The ceremony was set up in the garden, facing the pool, under a clear canopy with hanging greenery. White chairs, white flowers, calla lilies and the couple's initials on every seat. Everything light and bright, matching the late afternoon light.
Before the ceremony
The two of them met before the ceremony, inside the house, with time for a toast and a quiet talk. That time together before the aisle helps a lot: everyone arrives calmer and the photos come out more natural.
A ceremony full of loved ones
Each of them walked in with people who matter to them. There were hugs along the aisle, guests with their hands raised, vows read out loud and a lot of laughter at the altar.
After the vows and the rings, they did a sand ceremony: several colors of sand poured into the same vase. They signed right there, in front of everyone.
The party at Villa Cecília
At the reception, the cake table became the backdrop: a sculpted white cake, lots of white flowers and candles. That is where the grooms had their toast. Then came the dance floor, the "Better together" neon sign and plenty of photos with friends.
