An Intimate Mediterranean Elopement at Marimurtra Botanical Garden
Photographed by Lima de Miguel
Perched high above the Costa Brava, Olivia and Jon chose the Marimurtra Botanical Garden for their intimate celebration. The setting felt almost otherworldly—Mediterranean light pouring over white colonnades, the sound of waves echoing from below, and the kind of stillness that makes every detail feel amplified. As photographers Lima de Miguel shared, “Perched high above the Costa Brava’s cliffs, Olivia and Jon exchanged vows in a place that felt suspended between sea and sky.”
The couple’s ceremony unfolded at the Templet Linné, one of the garden’s most iconic neoclassical pavilions. With only a handful of loved ones gathered, the space carried a quiet power. “With only their closest circle present, their elopement became less of an event and more of a quiet, sacred moment,” the photographers reflected. The balance of natural coastline and classical architecture framed the occasion in striking simplicity.
Olivia’s walk through the gardens, framed by cypress trees and lush Mediterranean flora, mirrored the softness of the day. Her veil caught the light, and every movement felt part of the natural rhythm of the garden. This is one of those venues where the setting alone tells a story, and couples looking at Spain wedding venues will find in Marimurtra an atmosphere that transcends décor or detail.
The sea remained ever-present—a reminder of the location’s dramatic beauty. “It was defined by soft Mediterranean light, the Templet Linné, the ancient cypress trees, and the timeless beauty of neoclassical architecture,” said Lima de Miguel. From their vows overlooking the cliffs to a moment shared under the veil, Olivia and Jon’s celebration felt stitched seamlessly into the landscape itself.
For couples searching for destination wedding venues in Spain, Marimurtra Botanical Garden offers both intimacy and grandeur in equal measure. This wedding shows how simplicity can hold extraordinary weight when set against nature’s most breathtaking backdrops. A celebration like Olivia and Jon’s speaks to the enduring appeal of exchanging vows somewhere that feels timeless, grounded between land, sea, and sky.
