Mallorca wedding Inspiration | Finca wedding in the Tramuntana Mountains
In today’s bridal story, we’re whisking you away to the beautiful island of Mallorca — a place known for its incredible landscapes and timeless Mediterranean charm. Just a short drive from Palma lies a hidden oasis that perfectly captures the essence of Mallorca — where nature, history, and understated elegance come together in harmony. It was here that the lovely Ellie and Joseph chose to celebrate their special day. Nestled in the heart of the breathtaking Tramuntana mountains, this 18th-century finca is a true Mallorcan gem: a sprawling 300-hectare estate surrounded by lush gardens and sweeping countryside views. With its charming chapel and peaceful outdoor spaces that allow celebrations to continue under the stars, it’s easy to see why Ellie and Joseph fell in love with this unique setting. Their day perfectly reflected the venue itself — relaxed, romantic, and effortlessly beautiful. Today, we step back to that sun-filled day — the 23rd of June — when Ellie and Joseph’s unforgettable wedding came to life.
Bridal Morning Buzz
Ellie and Joseph’s wedding morning began in true Mallorcan style — relaxed, bright, and filled with the gentle buzz of excitement. The couple spent the night before apart, keeping with tradition. Joseph stayed by the coast in El Arenal with his groomsmen, while Ellie began her day at a peaceful villa in Palma, the soft morning light and gentle sense of excitement set the perfect tone for what was to come. As the sun climbed higher, the villa filled with warmth and laughter as her bridesmaids, along with her mum and Joseph’s mum, joined her for a relaxed morning over coffee and conversation. With preparations well underway, the bridal suite at the venue was soon ready and waiting. Once everything was packed, Ellie and her bridal party made their way there to continue getting ready in style.
At the venue, the team had set aside a spacious room for dresses and details, with stylist Julia Ball carefully arranging each gown and accessory to ensure everything was picture-perfect. Soon after, the talented hair and makeup team, led by Valeia, began their work — a gentle hum of activity filling the room as Ellie and her bridesmaids took turns in the chair. Between music, giggles, and a few heartfelt moments, the atmosphere stayed relaxed and lighthearted.
Meanwhile, Joseph and his groomsmen arrived at the finca to settle into their rooms and begin their own preparations. Shirts were pressed, ties adjusted, and a sense of excitement built as they shared a few laughs and photos before heading out for portraits with their photographer, the talented Abraham García.
Back outside, the Sunshine Weddings Spain team was hard at work ensuring every detail was coming together perfectly. The ceremony chairs were set beneath the trees, petal baskets placed for Ellie’s bridesmaids Lucy and Annabel, and the floral team, led by Joanna, began adding final touches of colour and greenery.
Photographer Abraham then moved to the bridal suite to capture those candid behind-the-scenes moments — Ellie stepping into her dress, the bridesmaids’ reactions, and a few happy tears shared between her and her mum. Joanna soon followed with the bridal bouquets, filling the room with soft floral fragrance and the final touch of elegance before Ellie made her way to meet Joseph.
As guests began to arrive by coach and the final details were perfected, the excitement became palpable. The morning had been beautifully calm and full of laughter, setting the tone for the heartfelt celebration to come.
Welcome Drinks Under the Shade
As the afternoon sun softened over the Mallorcan countryside, guests began arriving at the finca’s grand stone-paved entrance — a picture-perfect welcome to Ellie and Joseph’s special day. Joseph, joined by his groomsmen Harvey and Ben, greeted friends and family with big smiles and helped guide everyone toward the shaded welcome area beneath the trees.
Local guitarist Gaizka strummed gentle Spanish melodies, creating a relaxed vibe as guests mingled and found their spots under the cooling shade. Nearby, a charming lemonade stand offered a refreshing start to the celebration, complete with a few parasols to keep everyone comfortable in the early evening warmth.
At this time, the Sunshine Weddings Spain team checked in with Ellie, who was in the bridal suite for a quiet moment before the ceremony. Soon after, she shared a touching first look with her dad — a heartfelt moment captured beautifully by Abraham before she took a deep breath and prepared to make her entrance.
Back at the ceremony area, Joseph and his groomsmen made their way to the front, making sure everything was perfectly in place. With the best man guiding guests to their reserved seats and the music gently playing in the background, everything was set for the celebration to begin.
The Ceremony in the Heart of the Countryside
As guests made their way through the estate’s stone pathways, the ceremony area came into view — a serene, sun-dappled space nestled beneath the shade of ancient trees and surrounded by the rolling Mallorcan countryside. Set within the 18th-century finca’s lush gardens, the scene felt timeless and intimate — rustic wooden chairs lined up neatly on either side of the aisle, soft petals scattered along the path, and mini parasols placed to offer gentle shade from the afternoon sun.
Local guitarist Gaizka began to play from his spot at the end of the aisle, his music carrying softly through the air, setting the perfect tone for what was to come. Guests were invited to take their seats as the groomsmen moved confidently through the space, guiding family and friends into position. Harvey escorted the Mother of the Bride to her seat, while Corey and the other groomsmen ensured everyone was settled and comfortable.
As the guests’ conversations faded, the ceremony began to take shape. Tony, the celebrant, kindly asked guests to refrain from taking photos or videos, allowing everyone to be fully present in the moment. At the front, Joseph stood alongside Harvey and Ben, waiting with quiet excitement as the bridal procession began.
The music shifted, and one by one, the wedding party made their entrance: bridesmaids paired with groomsmen — Jack and Sophie, Corey and Jess, Annie and Annabel, Lucy and Joe — followed by the sweet sight of the couple’s pageboys, Noah and Ezra, and baby Philippa, who brought smiles to every face as they made their way down the aisle. Finally, Maid of Honour Olivia took her place, completing the procession.
Then, as the guitarist began a new melody, everyone rose. Ellie appeared at the top of the path, arm in arm with her dad, both smiling as they walked slowly beneath the Mallorcan sun toward Joseph. The moment was emotional, heartfelt, and beautifully captured — a true reflection of the couple’s love and the peaceful setting around them.
After heartfelt vows and an emotional “I do,” Ellie and Joseph sealed their promises with a kiss to warm applause. As the newlyweds made their exit, Lucy and Annabel reached for their petal baskets, scattering petals into the air as guests cheered and followed the couple down the aisle.
The music lifted once more as the celebration continued, guests smiling and chatting as they made their way to the next part of the day — the drinks reception under the golden evening light.
Drinks Reception in the Garden
As the newlyweds made their exit down the aisle, the celebration moved effortlessly into the reception area — a charming garden area, framed by old stone walls and olive trees, glowing in the soft early evening light. Guests gathered beneath four large parasols, chatting and laughing around bistro tables as Gaizka filled the air with cheerful Spanish tunes on his guitar. The relaxed, sun-soaked vibe perfectly matched the rustic setting, with chilled cava, local wines, beers, and soft drinks being served to refresh guests after the ceremony.
Waiters circulated with a tempting selection of cold canapés, soon followed by warm bites — a delicious prelude to the evening ahead. The atmosphere was lighthearted and fun, with glasses clinking and smiles all around.
Meanwhile, Ellie and Joseph took a few quiet moments together as the Sunshine Weddings Spain team brought them a plate of canapés to enjoy privately before rejoining their guests. Soon after, Harvey, ever the organised groomsman, gathered family members for the group photos, ensuring every important moment on Ellie’s list was captured beautifully.
As the final photos wrapped up, Gaizka’s music came to a close, and the bar gently wound down, marking the perfect transition to dinner. Guests began to drift toward the dining area, where the evening’s next chapter awaited.
Dinner & Speeches in the Courtyard
As guests took their seats beneath the fading light, soft background music from the couple’s playlist filled the air. The dining courtyard was set with elegant rustic tables, flickering candles, and glasses of cava waiting to be raised.
One by one, guests were called to dinner — first, second, and finally a gentle final call — before everyone settled in with a welcoming glass of cava in hand. A few moments later, laughter erupted as the lively entrance of the couple began, led by groomsman Joe, with guests waving napkins in celebration to upbeat Spanish music. Ellie and Joseph entered beaming, their happiness radiating across the outdoor space.
Once everyone had taken their seats, the speeches began from the charming little balcony overlooking the dinner area. First up was Chris, the Father of the Bride, whose words brought a few tears and many smiles. Joseph followed, sharing heartfelt thanks and a few funny stories that had everyone laughing. Then came Ben, the Best Man, with a perfectly timed speech that kept the energy high, and finally, Harvey, closing the set with a few warm, witty remarks that left everyone cheering.
With speeches done, the scent of the evening BBQ menu began to drift through the air — an irresistible feast that guests enjoyed as the sun dipped lower over the Tramuntana mountains.
As the golden hour arrived, Ellie and Joseph slipped away for a few pre-sunset photos, capturing the most romantic light of the day. They returned just in time for dessert, and as twilight settled, Ellie stood to give a short, heartfelt speech of her own.
Her words ended on a joyful note as she announced the start of the Aperol Tower, cueing the song “I Do, I Do, I Do” by ABBA. Laughter and applause filled the terrace as the music played, Ellie poured the first glass, and the celebration flowed seamlessly into a night of dancing and joy beneath the Mallorcan sky.
Evening Party & Dancing Under the Bougainvillaea
As dusk fell across the Mallorcan countryside, fairy lights began to glow beneath the vibrant bougainvillaea that framed the open bar area. The air was warm, the sky tinged with pink and gold — the perfect setting for what would become an unforgettable evening.
Guests gathered around the terrace, glasses in hand, ready for the next special moment. Ellie and her father took to the centre for their dance, swaying gently to “Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)” by Frank Wilson — a moment filled with love, laughter, and a few happy tears.
Moments later, Joe, one of the groomsmen, took the mic to announce the first dance. Ellie and Joseph stepped into the middle of the tables, surrounded by family and friends, as the music began to play. Smiles, cheers, and napkins waved in celebration as the couple danced beneath the soft glow of lights, the finca’s courtyard transforming into a scene of pure joy.
As the song ended, applause broke out — and with that, the open bar officially began, offering guests a full selection of drinks under the canopy of bougainvillaea. DJ Fausto kicked off the party from his spot beside the balcony, filling the night with upbeat tunes that had everyone on their feet within minutes.
Laughter and dancing carried on late into the night. Around half past eleven, the Sunshine Weddings Spain team checked with guests who would be taking the midnight coach, while others happily chose to stay and dance a little longer. At midnight, the first coach departed with a group of guests, and the remaining crowd was ushered inside to the finca’s private nightclub, where the celebration continued in true Mediterranean style.
Inside, the lights dimmed, the music pulsed, and the energy remained high as another hour of open bar and DJ Fausto’s beats kept the dance floor alive. As 1:45 a.m. arrived, the bar closed but the music didn’t stop — the DJ played on for another full hour, keeping spirits high until the very end.
Finally, at 2:45 a.m., the last coaches departed, carrying happy, tired guests back through the Mallorcan night. For the fourteen guests staying at the finca, the celebration lingered a little longer — quiet laughter, a final toast, and the soft hum of a perfect day coming to a close.
It was a night to remember — one filled with love, music, and the unmistakable magic of Mallorca.
