Saona: el vestido de novia que acompaña las historias de amor más auténticas

In the world of weddings, not every story is written with lavish productions or fairytale settings. Some of the most beautiful ones are born from spontaneity, intimacy, and surprise. That was the case with this surprise wedding in Formentera, where the bride discovered at the very last moment that she was about to live the most special day of her life.

The scene looked like something out of a movie: the family flew in from Brazil, friends gathered on a cliff over the Mediterranean Sea, and the vows were exchanged on a private boat, with loved ones watching from a distance. No theatrics, no script. Just true love.
