From Cork to the Spanish Hills: Patrick and Andrea’s Love Story
Their story began in Cork, where Patrick, owner of Edit Hair Club in MacCurtin Street, met Andrea in a moment that felt both casual and fateful. What started as a local meet-cute blossomed into a shared dream of a wedding that would blend Patrick’s Irish roots with their love for sunlit Spain. Their choice to celebrate at Clos la Plana, a stunning villa tucked among miles of vineyards, set the tone for a day that felt timeless, intimate, and utterly them.
A Picture-Perfect Venue: Clos la Plana
“Our whole wedding was at Clos la Plana, a stunning villa in the middle of miles of vineyards,” Patrick explains. The venue offered more than aesthetics; it provided a natural backdrop that required little embellishment. Rows of grapevines, terracotta tones, and soft Mediterranean light created a warm palette that complemented the couple’s understated elegance. The villa’s architecture, with its stonework and sweeping arches, provided both the ceremony space and reception ambience the couple envisioned—romantic, relaxed, and beautifully cohesive.
Planning Across Borders: Details that Delighted
With Patrick’s Cork-based background in hair artistry and Andrea’s keen eye for detail, the couple curated a celebration that was stylish without being showy. The ceremony reflected their personalities: heartfelt vows, an intimate guest list, and moments designed to be savored rather than hurried. Details from Florals, linens to lighting were chosen to echo the villa’s natural charm—soft blush tones, greenery, and warm candlelight that glowed as the sun dipped behind the vineyards.
Wedding Day Highlights: Dresses, Daring Simplicity, and Sentimental Touches
The bride wore a dress that balanced modern silhouette with timeless silhouettes, allowing the natural light to do most of the work. Patrick, on his end, brought a refined, relaxed look that matched the villa’s easy elegance. The couple’s traditions felt personal—speeches that drew smiles and teary-eyed laughter, and a first dance beneath a canopy of vines as evening settled in. The day flowed with a leisurely pace, inviting guests to linger over welcome drinks while the sun painted the sky in soft golds and pinks.
Style and Grooming: Patrick’s Hair Influence
As a business owner with a passion for hair that complements a moment, Patrick’s professional influence was felt throughout the wedding styling. The couple leaned into a natural, flattering aesthetic—hair and makeup that held through the warm Spanish night, captured in photos meant to be revisited for years to come. The synergy between Patrick’s Cork roots and Andrea’s European flair manifested in a look that felt both polished and effortless.
A Day to Remember: Vendors, Vibes, and Takeaways
From the vineyard setting to the villa’s intimate rooms, the wedding was a celebration of two families merging in a place that felt like a home away from home. The couple’s advice to future newlyweds is simple: choose a venue that grows with your story, and trust the small moments to carry the big memories. For Patrick and Andrea, the decision to wed at Clos la Plana was more than a location—it was a shared dream realized in the heart of Spain.
Why This Wedding Stands Out
What makes this Cork-to-Spain wedding memorable isn’t just the destination; it’s the harmony between venue, styling, and personality. The couple’s love story, anchored by a Cork meet-cute and culminated in a serene Spanish ceremony, offers a blueprint for couples seeking an elegant, relaxed celebration in a breathtaking setting.
