A Multiday Celebration Full of Color, Culture, and Charm in the Spanish Countryside
Photographed by AM Love Stories
Gauri and Aditya’s three-day wedding in Toledo, Spain, was a celebration of culture, connection, and considered details. Held at Cigarral de las Mercedes, a storied estate with panoramic views over the city, the celebration brought together nearly 90 of their closest people for a weekend that blended Indian tradition with modern flair.
“Their destination wedding unfolded over three unforgettable days in April,” says AM Love Stories, who photographed the event. “The venue provided the perfect backdrop.” From the vivid Henna ceremony to the turmeric-soaked Haldi and a Sangeet night of nonstop dancing, each event offered a new atmosphere—joyful, emotional, and rich with personality.
The wedding day itself was a standout. A floral mandap framed by nature set the stage for a ceremony steeped in heritage and feeling. “Gauri and Adi tied the knot in a breathtaking Indian wedding ceremony,” the photographer shares, “a celebration of love and heritage, filled with color, intricate details, and emotion.” Gauri’s embroidered lehenga and heirloom-worthy jewellery were a visual homage to tradition, while Aditya’s look balanced classic and contemporary.
Throughout the celebration, the storytelling lens of AM Love Stories captured both intimacy and movement—from emotional black-and-white portraits to expressive scenes of the couple laughing, dancing, and sharing quiet moments. “Photographing this wedding was truly an honor,” they add. “Each event brought something different. It was full of joy, color, and so many beautiful traditions.”
Cigarral de las Mercedes didn’t just host the wedding—it enhanced it. From the olive grove ceremony space to vibrant food stations styled with fresh herbs and produce, every scene was effortlessly photogenic. A welcome sign flanked by greenery set the tone on arrival, while each event flowed with thoughtful design and a strong sense of place. For couples seeking inspiration for a multi-day wedding that balances tradition and individuality, this one offers more than a few ideas.
