March 20, 2023

Have you ever dreamed of a wedding in a place where every corner is a perfect backdrop, with crystal-clear waters, stunning cliffs, and sunsets that look like something out of a fairy tale? Imagine that and more in Ibiza. Celebrating weddings in Ibiza has become a trend not only because of its natural beauty but also because of the exclusivity and charm the island offers. At Ibiza Rural Villas, we will guide you through everything you need to know to organize the wedding of your dreams in this Mediterranean paradise.

Where to Stay and Get Married in Ibiza

Finding the perfect place to stay and celebrate your wedding in Ibiza is the first step towards an unforgettable experience. Ibiza Rural Villas offers a wide variety of beautiful villas throughout the island, equipped with pools and all the luxuries you can imagine. From cozy rural houses to luxurious villas, you will find the perfect place to satisfy all your desires.

In addition to villas, Ibiza has numerous hotels, restaurants, and agrotourism establishments that specialize in weddings. These venues not only offer a charming setting but are also specifically adapted for such events, ensuring that your wedding is as special as you always dreamed.

Where to Take Your Wedding Photos in Ibiza

Wedding photos are memories you will treasure forever, and in Ibiza, every corner is an opportunity to capture magical moments. The cliffs of Na Xamena or Es Cubells offer spectacular views, while the beautiful crystal-clear beaches like Cala Comte, Es Cavallet, Punta Galera, and Cala d’Hort are perfect for idyllic photos.

If you want a photo with the sunset, the coves and beaches on the west side of the island are ideal. Other recommended places include Dalt Vila, the old town of Ibiza, with its picturesque bastions, and the various defense towers on the island, especially Torre des Savinar or Torre del Pirata, with fabulous views of the islet of Es Vedrà. Additionally, you can choose to rent a boat for a unique photo session or to make a spectacular entrance to the reception venue.

What Type of Ceremony You Want

Weddings in Ibiza can be as varied as your dreams allow. In an Ibizan wedding, it is traditional for all guests to dress in white, so be sure to specify the dress code in the invitations if you prefer only the bride to wear this color.

Catholic ceremonies are common on the island, and for this, you will need to contact the priest of the church where you wish to get married. Most churches in Ibiza are small but very charming, and you also have the option of getting married in the Cathedral, located in Dalt Vila.

If you prefer something less traditional, a symbolic ceremony may be the perfect choice. In this case, your imagination is the limit: a friend, family member, or the person of your choice can officiate the ceremony. Additionally, there is always the option of a civil wedding at the courthouse or one of the five town halls on the island.

How to Organize Your Wedding in Ibiza

Organizing a wedding can be an overwhelming task, but in Ibiza, you will find many professionals ready to help you plan every detail. Hiring a professional wedding planner is highly recommended, as their knowledge and experience will ensure that everything goes perfectly.

In Ibiza, these experts will help you find the best suppliers, from catering to decoration, and guide you to make every aspect of your wedding just as you imagined.

The “Must-Haves” of an Ibizan Wedding

To give your wedding an authentic Ibiza touch, there are certain details that cannot be missed. Choose the wedding dress or bridesmaids’ dresses from the models of Adlib Fashion designers like Charo Ruiz, Piluca Bayarri, Ibimoda, Tony Bonet, and Virginia Vald.

If you opt for a beach wedding, consider wearing light footwear or even going barefoot for a more natural touch. Hairstyles should also be simple, with adornments like flower crowns. The “emprendades”, typical Ibizan jewelry, can be the perfect accessory, and Elisa Pomar’s brand is one of the most prestigious.

Regarding decoration, combine natural and rustic elements like esparto baskets, nautical motifs, candles, and flowers. Simplicity and the color white should be the dominant notes. Hiring a performance of baile payés, the traditional dance of Ibiza, can also be a unique detail that makes a difference.

Celebrating weddings in Ibiza is a magical experience that combines the island’s natural beauty with the possibility of personalizing every detail to your liking. With the help of Ibiza Rural Villas, you can find the ideal stay, whether renting a dream villa or finding the perfect house for sale. Additionally, you can also opt for car rentals to make your wedding an even more special event.
