Cheese Cake vs Sweet Cake

Having had many requests over the past few months for a real cheese wedding cake I finally caved and attempted to créate something that could match the beauty of the real wedding cakes we are used to at our weddings.  I was not convinced but by decorating it with traditional flowers instead of the usual fruit and displaying it on an elegant console table I was quite pleased with the results.  The wedding guests were all fooled into thinking it was a real cake and were amazed and delighted when then realised it was made from cheese.  Personally I would have been rather disappointed as I have a very sweet tooth. I am not convinced that a cheese cake could ever upstage the beauty and decadence of a sweet hand piped cake complete with sugar flowers but for those of you that dont have quite such a sweet tooth as me this is a good alternative and can be served to your guests as a midnight snack with chutneys, crackers and breads.

Style Me Pretty - now featuring Weddings in Spain

Rachel Rose Weddings were very honored to have recently been invited by Style Me Pretty to become a member of their elite Little Black Book. Quite an achievement in under two years of business, so you can imagine our excitement when we were then invited to write an article for the site.  I was kindly asked to give their readers by Top Tips on planning a destination wedding abroad and they also chose to feature our beautiful wedding photo shoot at Casa Del Rio.  Scarlett Rose is pretty excited as well as she features regularly in this shoot and has very much enjoyed seeing herself on Mummy´s computer.  You can read the article here http://www.stylemepretty.com/2013/08/06/7-tips-for-planning-a-destination-wedding-from-rachel-rose-weddings/

Casa Del Rio - one of our stunning new venues in Benahavis

WE are very proud and excited to be sharing these fabulous images of our new wedding venue in our very own home town of Benahavis.  We are very lucky to live in the picturesque White washed village and now we get to share it with our couples in this wonderful Villa which is located in a tranquil Riverside setting just a few minutes from the village centre and is just chocolate box perfect.  We wish we could live in the house all year round but unfortunately we have to let our lucky couples use if for their special day instead.  You can find out more about Casa del Rio and the village of Benahavis on our website www.weddingvenuesinspain.com and we will soon be introducing Casa Del Rio´s big sister, Tramores to you  which is nothing short of what wedding dreams are made of - watch this space for some beautiful images of this very soon.

We just want to say a huge thank you to our fabulous team of suppliers who helped to bring this wedding shoot to life and who will also bring your wedding dreams to life!  Fiona for her decadent cakes - www.sweetthingsbyfi.com, Anoulka for her perfect Stationary - www.nulkinulks.com, Anna for these amazing photos - www.limelight.pl, Virginia, Natali and team for the beautiful flowers - www.virginiaflorista.com , Toni and her catering team for keeping us fed and watered - www.sanacateringmarbella.com, Carla for her elegant tableware www.tucco.es, Salvador for his creative filming - www.evergreenmalaga.com, Lyndsey and Alex for Hair & Make up - www.lyndseycavanagh.com  and lastly our beautiful models Bharvna, Katie, Scarlett and Telinah, thank you all so much xxx
