Welcome to Avelã White

When we founded Avelã White, we had one conviction: that the details surrounding a wedding — the website your guests visit for the first time, the invitation that arrives in their inbox, the visual world you create before anyone sets foot in the venue — deserve the same care and intention as everything else you've chosen.

We are a family-run studio based in Lisbon, and every project we take on is personal to us. We don't believe in generic. We don't believe in templates that have been used a hundred times before. We believe in design that is specific to you — to who you are as a couple, to the atmosphere you're creating, to the story only you can tell.

Every wedding we work on begins the same way: with a conversation, and a genuine desire to understand. What follows is a design process built around sensitivity, precision, and the quiet pursuit of something that feels completely, unmistakably right.

— Katerina & Dmitrii, The Founders

Our Design Principles

( I )

Intention over decoration

Every element we create begins with a question: what should this feel like? Nothing is placed without purpose, nothing chosen without reason.

( II )

Singular by design

No two projects leave our studio looking alike. Every project begins with understanding before it begins with design — because what we create for you was never meant to exist for anyone else.

( III )

Built to be remembered

Trends pass. We design for the feeling that remains long after the day itself — in the memory of your guests, and in every detail you'll look back on.
