From London to Lisbon, this vibrant young couple’s wedding was picture perfect. Their ceremony was held in the private chapel at the Ritz Carlton’s Penha Longa monastery in the Sintra hills, followed by black tie reception in the resort. About 200 international guests flew in to celebrate as best friends Chris and Leah became husband and wife.
Their 5-tier blush wedding cake was detailed with a hand piped lace pattern, custom monogram and colourful sugar flowers. The couple and their guests enjoyed a vanilla and coffee sponge cake with vanilla and caramel Swiss meringue buttercream.
Every cake tells a story, and this is the story of Leah + Chris:
