I get asked a lot how I would decorate my wedding if I were getting married today. It would be interesting to see what I answer every three months: I'm sure the answer would be different each time. Because for me, what most influences my decision about the type of decorations I want is the time of year the event takes place.

Every season holds something special in my world, the world of flowers. And that's why I let myself be guided by what each season offers me.

When I started thinking about how to decorate my daughter's First Communion, and considering the limited time I had (the shoemaker's children go barefoot…), since it was celebrated at the end of June (peak season for us), I let myself be guided by my own vision. Not only by what the flower market and nature itself were offering at that time, but also by everything the wonderful professionals I've met over the past 10 years had to offer, and whose work I was eager to have on board. I trusted them completely and asked them to do "whatever they wanted."

As you know, the first one on the list is LuciaMPhotography , author of all these wonderful photos and those that appear in the first part of this post .

As I showed you in the first part of this post, the venue itself is what truly makes this celebration special. It's a beautiful garden: understated, in the Herrerian style, with stunning brick walls and granite fountains, and a chestnut tree-lined path that has always captivated me. The light filtering through the leaves has always seemed magical to me.

We got married here 11 years ago, and it hardly needs any decoration. It's an old garden, once part of the orchards of a Renaissance castle outside Madrid, which, for the last 30 years, has been my in-laws' home (the garden, not the castle). They are incredibly generous and let us use the house whenever we want. And they let me do my own thing, which I assure you isn't always easy. On top of that, my mother-in-law is a fantastic cook and takes care of everything. A real treat. A million thanks, Grandparents!

The balance between decorating a beautiful party and "losing your way" is difficult when you do this for a living. I don't know if I've managed it.

The faces of those around me the night before (I arrived at 8 pm from setting up a wedding) were priceless! Surrounded by thousands of pennants, boxes, cages, tubs, tablecloths, sweets, cupcakes, flowers, etc. I had barely a couple of hours to decorate, and my stress and exhaustion were mounting. Even so, with the help of my amazing team and my husband, my in-laws, and my daughter's third grandmother (yes, she has three, according to her), we pulled it off! They must really love me to put up with these shenanigans.

I only put flowers on the tables and bars. Nothing too extravagant because there was already a lot of decoration. What I wanted was for the centerpieces to have a nod to the theme of the celebration, in this case, bread. Since the tables weren't set with plates, cutlery, and glasses, I made something quite large. On round straw placemats, I filled the largest loaf I could find (not easy to find, by the way, and not cheap at all) with flowers, greenery, and wheat stalks, and around it I created a still life of bread.

The pom-poms are the work of Lucía de MaisonPomPoms makes the prettiest and best-finished pom-poms on the market. They chose the colors, and I thought it was perfect. Not only that, but they and their husband came to put them on for us. They have a really ingenious system. It seems simple, but I wouldn't know where to begin. Thank you so much, guys!

The tablecloths and umbrellas are from Aunty B. As they say, they're "India in Madrid." It's a small shop with a huge selection of wonderful Indian tablecloths and bedspreads. They also have parasols that I've never seen anywhere else—they're beautiful. Made with the same printed cotton, with a typical Indian block print that I've always loved. For the buffet tables, we used some thin bedspreads that gave the table a lovely drape. And they looked perfect.

RueVintage 74 , with its creator Piluca Hueso at the helm, has a fantastic online shop where, in addition to customizable headboards (their star product!), they sell many other beautiful things for the home and accessories for us. They're the ones who make the colorful wooden signs and metal stars.

The most beautiful banners in the world are made by Under the Tree. They are true artists and create incredible things. Just look:

By Aintzane She's the creator of other items we sell on our website, all made with great care and attention. What Angélica loves most are the fabric birdhouses. Well, Angélica loves them, and everyone does! They're incredibly well-made. And her fabric selection is always beautiful.

The party favors and piñata are designs by Macarena Kindelan, and you can order them from her online shop. They have tons of designs, and you can even personalize them. Check out the detail on the piñata: the little girl's dress has a pink ruffle at the bottom…just like Angelica's! We loved how it turned out.

I highly recommend Tiger's "megaphone moment"! It's a hit.

If you're still eager to know more, I'll publish the final post on Friday, where I'll talk about the rest of the decor and a few other things!

Thank you so much for reading.
