The delicacy of a handcrafted wedding dress: Claudia Aurell’s wedding at L’Arca Barcelona

A love story amidst sunsets

Claudia and Manolo met through mutual friends at a dinner party. What began naturally blossomed into a story marked by travel, small moments, and a shared passion for sunsets.

The proposal took place in Ibiza, in front of Es Vedrà, in one of their favorite spots. That memory also inspired part of the wedding atmosphere, where the dinner lighting recreated the warmth and tones of a Mediterranean sunset.

On April 25, 2026, they celebrated their wedding at Mas Cabanyes, surrounded by family, friends, and an aesthetic that was carefully curated down to the last detail.

A story that began with a second chance

Claudia, one of Monica’s sisters, designer of the guest brand Baymo, met Manolo eight years ago thanks to some mutual friends, Maria and Xavi.

Although their first date didn’t go as planned, something between them made them meet again and give it a second chance.

The rest, little by little, became a story full of complicity, sensitivity, and shared moments.

Claudia Aurell’s wedding dress from L’Arca Barcelona

Claudia arrived at L’Arca Barcelona looking for a specific veil, although she ended up falling in love with the skirt that would eventually become part of her wedding dress.

The design was handcrafted in natural silk muslin, combined with delicate Chantilly lace details and hand-woven draping.

Every element of the L’Arca Barcelona wedding dress was created to reflect Claudia’s personality: natural, elegant and timeless.

The lightness of the fabrics, the movement of the silk, and the delicacy of the textures shaped a piece designed to make her feel comfortable, confident, and completely herself throughout the day.

A wedding full of sensitivity and details

The celebration was marked by a warm and very personal aesthetic.

The church flowers were designed by Tere Molné, while the bouquet was created by El Patio de la Abuela. One of the most special elements was the altar pew, handcrafted by Claudia’s mother through her company emscloset_home.

The organization of the big day was in the hands of Animae, taking care of every detail of the experience and creating an elegant, emotional and very authentic celebration.

For Claudia, one of the most exciting moments was entering the church with her father and seeing Manolo waiting for her at the altar.

A unique experience with L’Arca Barcelona

“I felt like myself and I’ll never forget this dress.”

This is how Claudia describes her experience with the L’Arca Barcelona team.

From the choice of fabrics to the final fittings, the entire process was designed to create a handcrafted, delicate wedding dress that is completely aligned with her essence.

“I will never forget this dress”

For Claudia, one of the most special aspects of the whole process was the human support from the L’Arca Barcelona team.

“Nina is a fantastic professional. The seamstresses and pattern makers are incredible too. Besides the affection you develop for the team, the fabrics and all the support… I would do it again a thousand times over.”

“Special thanks to L’Arca for making this amazing dress. I felt so much like myself and I’ll never forget this dress.”
