What is not to love about a wedding in Italy, especially when it takes place in such a gorgeous setting like the Castello di Petrata, a beautiful wedding venue in amongst olive groves and green meadows. «The rolling hills of the Italian countryside are so lush with greenery, so we decided to go with soft pastel blues and pinks and shaped my bouquet in a free-formed style to give it more of a romantic whimsical feel…» the bride shared with us and we couldn’t agree more! From the pretty pale colored florals, the elegant decoration at the reception and the heartfelt moments captured by Francesco Gravina, Maggie and Frank’s wedding in Italy is definitely a must-see!

«Although we grew up in the same town our whole lives somehow our paths never crossed. It wasn’t until our mutual friend groups both rented houses at the Jersey shore for the summer that we actually met. We were strictly friends for a couple of years before that friendship turned into more. We are big travelers and try to explore new cities as much as we can, so in the summer after 4+ years of dating we took a trip to Alaska. We took a small plane excursion to see some of Alaska’s glaciers and the pilot was able to land so we could get out and explore. So, there we were on this remote glacier when Frank proposed! It was a magical, scenic, one-of-a-kind moment that truly is unforgettable. », the bride shared with us.

Our venue pretty much spoke for itself with their floral garden and the ivy all along the walls, so we wanted to choose flowers that complimented what already existed.

«The rolling hills of the Italian countryside are so lush with greenery, so we decided to go with soft pastel blues and pinks and shaped my bouquet in a free-formed style to give it more of a romantic whimsical feel. Our absolute favorite part of our decorations, and must-haves, were the long serpentine tables and the chandeliers. It added such a unique, romantic element that really elevated our dinner setting. Our vintage car also was a classic touch! We truly were in awe of how it turned out! »

The bride’s advice: «If you are planning a destination wedding, hire a wedding planner! This took so much stress off of our plate and made the planning process relaxing and enjoyable! Don’t settle, if you have a vision articulate that to your planners/vendors even if you have to multiple times. You deserve to have your wedding day exactly how you dreamed! »

There was a moment that hit us throughout our wedding when we were overcome with emotion recognizing that all of our closest friends and family traveled across the world for us and really taking that in. We loved that we could give our guests a full experience with 3 days of wedding events with hopefully memories that would last a lifetime!

«Although I tried to keep an open mind while wedding dress shopping, I had already had my heart set on going with a Milla Nova wedding gown. I knew I wanted a timeless modern look and the bows on the straps and my pearl veil gave me that dreamy bridal feel. »

Three beautiful days lasted the destination wedding of Clare and Ross in Italy, with their guests traveling from all over the world to celebrate their love, so we knew immediately we were in store for some beautiful scenery and heartfelt moments in these pictures captured by Gianluca & Mary Adovasio! The beautiful gardens of the noble residence Villa Le Fontanelle created the perfect canva for Bianco Bouquet to decorate the setting with the prettiest flowers and romantic details creating for Clare and Ross the dreamiest of days!

«We met while studying at USC in business class. The class focused on communication (public speaking, delivering bad news, teamwork, and remote projects). We quickly became best friends and have been together for 10 years now! Initially, Ross planned on proposing during our trip to Lake Como in May 2020 (hence why we chose Italy for our wedding location) – but that was cancelled due to the pandemic. Ross later proposed September 2020 as a day filled with surprises. We started our day at USC at our favorite bench where we used to spend time between classes. He had planned a little scavenger hunt/puzzle that mimicked The Amazing Race (one of our favorite shows to watch together). Afterwards, we had brunch at a restaurant close by. Then, we drove down south to a park in Newport Beach and that’s where Ross proposed! He had planned surprise photographer to capture the moment. To keep the celebration going – Ross chartered a private sailboat where we went out to see the sunset (for our very first date together, we had sailed on a little dinghy and saw dolphins). Overall, Ross’ proposal was incredibly thoughtful – he wanted to make sure each surprise was an ode to our relationship and special moments we’ve had together. », the bride shared with us.

«Flowers were one of our top priorities and we felt it helped set a certain mood throughout our whole wedding. We are fortunate enough to live near a flower market, so we were very precise in what type of flowers we utilized: roses, proteas, wax flowers, bells of Ireland, peonies, larkspur, sweet peas, allium, artichoke flowers, agapanthus, and Amaranthus, astilbes, scabiosa, and lilies of the valley.»

We specifically chose pastel color palettes with a focus on mauves, lavender, white, and pinks, while having pops of color with pale yellow and stronger shades of pink and purple. Our overall theme was a modern garden party – we wanted our ceremony to feel very organic and romantic. When I first walked down the aisle, the flowers were so beautiful it literally took my breath away. It was the most complimented piece by our guests!…

«While for our dinner we had modern touches on the table but cascading flowers hanging down the pergola… Modern touches were represented through our use of neon signs and disco party room for dancing! The dance room was incredible and the work our vendors did was beyond our dreams. All our guests danced nonstop, and we really felt the disco ball and covering the room in tinsel (floor to ceiling) set the mood. We also added in some unique touches like custom napkins (crests from our wedding invitation and a portrait of our dog, Otis). Overall, we let the flowers shine through and feel they adorned the venue nicely, while decorating our wedding! »

My favorite moment was spending time with all our loved ones. Given the nature of our international wedding, we were fortunate enough to have a 3-day wedding event (welcome dinner, rehearsal dinner, wedding day). We had guests who traveled across the world and some we hadn’t seen in 5+ years. The amount of time and events we had allowed us to have a more relaxed pace.

clare, bride

«A very close second favorite moment would be assembling our wedding cake after dinner in true Italian tradition! Ross’ favorite moment was the dance party! The vibes were on point and the DJ was great. Truly, Wedding Music & Lights did a phenomenal job. »

The brides advice: «Overall, a few key tips: Work with a planner/coordinator (if you’re able) – this helped guide us through the process and our wedding planner (Marta from Bianco Bouquet) was amazing! Set a budget and prioritize the most important things. Also, allow for some leeway as it’s likely you’ll go over budget. Get a videographer. This was a last-minute decision we made and I’m so glad we did. When doing research, I saw not getting a videographer was one of the biggest regrets from weddings! Ensure deliverables are met from your vendors…»

« We did a first look (which helped ease the nerves a lot) and set aside time for just us 2 right after the ceremony. We were able to really soak up the experience together and have some alone time before all the guests crowd you. Don’t invite someone out of obligation – only extend invites to those you would want there. Planning in advance is key (it’s really never too early). This helps you ensure you are securing your first choices, as well as understanding what’s going on! We took planning as a time to bond together and actually really enjoyed the whole process. With all that said, be sure to focus on yourselves. You are the ones getting married – not your family or friends. Do anticipate some people making foolish comments or assumptions (this is bound to happen). The day is about you and your love, so do what you want! Soak it all up! Despite weddings typically being stereotypically stressful, we genuinely feel our wedding day was stress free and we were both so present! »

«My beautiful wedding dress is called Chai from an Israeli designer, Netta BenShabu. I was lucky to customize the dress, and have it tailor made for myself. It was important to me to have tulle and an off the shoulder dress. I felt gorgeous and still have my dress to this day! »

Bianco Bouquet shared with us: «Clare and Ross envisioned more than just a wedding—they dreamt of a Renaissance escape, a haven where their families and closest friends could revel for days. Nestled in the exclusive embrace of a villa, their retreat was a mere stone’s throw from Florence, promising not just matrimonial bliss but a chance to explore the enchantment of the city. In a ceremony that wove traditions seamlessly, the couple paid homage to the groom’s heritage with touches of Jewish customs, serenaded by the delicate melodies of a harp. Picture this: an ambiance that transcends the ordinary, a “modern garden party” where vibrant blooms and lush foliage dance in harmony with nature, creating an immersive, organic wonderland. To this tapestry, we added contemporary flair—neon signs, acrylic decorations, and transparent whimsy—blending the timeless with the trendy.»

«The festivities unfurled with a cocktail hour on a terrace kissed by the setting sun behind the church, offering a panoramic view of Florence. As twilight turned to night, we migrated beneath a gazebo in front of the villa, transforming the space into a magical haven for the continuing celebration. An elegant tableau greeted guests: white tablecloths, Ginori underplates adorned with emerald green motifs, golden cutlery, and faceted glasses. Yet, as the night deepened, the atmosphere underwent a metamorphosis. Neon signs flickered to life, and silver tinsel adorned the Renaissance villa, turning it into a charismatic disco room. Tradition met modernity in a spectacular dance, creating an unforgettable experience that transcended the expected—a wedding that wasn’t just a union but a symphony of time, tradition, and boundless celebration.» Bianco Bouquet shared with us.

We have never come across a wedding in Italy that we didn’t fall head over heels in love, and the wedding of Marta and Filippo in Sorrento is certainly one of them! The couple exchanged vows of eternal love in a romantic setting decorated with white orchids and daisies while the bride’s bouquet was filled with peonies, roses, and eucalyptus. Their beautiful wedding ceremony took place in the magnificent gardens of the Villa Giusso Astapiana with is a lovely historic residence overlooking Sorrento. There is no need to keep day dreaming about your destination wedding in Italy, just take a look at this wedding!

«We met in Vienna, while we were working and studying, and five years later he proposed exactly in Rathausplatz, where we met, where everything started. », the bride shared with us.

«We envisioned a wedding that exuded natural charm and bohemian flair, adorned with simple yet meaningful floral arrangements featuring daisies and lavender. The ceremony took place against the breathtaking backdrop of the sea, with a rustic wooden gazebo adorned with a cascade of tiny white blossoms and graceful wicker baskets overflowing with delicate blooms.»

« The breathtaking backdrop of the sea and the Sorrento coast played a pivotal role in our vision. For the seating plan, we transformed a corner into a miniature library, arranging book covers with enchanting titles and the names of guests seated at each table. To find their assigned table, guests had to embark on a literary adventure, seeking out the author of the title who had written the title displayed on the book cover where their name was inscribed. »

While every moment of our wedding was infused with enchantment, the one that encapsulates the essence of our day was when a spontaneous dance party erupted during dinner. Our friend’s impromptu request for a lively tune prompted our guests to abandon their plates mid-meal and join us on the dance floor. The air was filled with the joy of shared laughter and movement, creating a moment of pure, unadulterated bliss.

«My wedding dress felt like an extension of my own being, a seamless embodiment of my spirit. Its bohemian and natural aura seamlessly harmonized with my own free-spirited nature. The flowing skirt mirrored my every movement, becoming an extension of my dance throughout the day. »

I encourage couples to surrender to the emotions of the moment, to focus solely on their own desires, and to trust that perfection will be achieved through the outpouring of their happiness.

marta, bride

From the Photographer: «There is a Neapolitan word, “ammoìna”, which can be translated in “noise, confusion, dizziness». It comes from the Spanish word “amohinar”. When during dinner I confessed to Filippo and Marta that I would not have expected such involvement from their guests, the groom replied smiling “I love to surround myself with people who make a lot of noise”, because Marta and I are like that too. Their wedding has been the perfect conjunction between Spain and Italy, full of dances and smiles. Their ceremony, immersed in the greenery of Astapiana Villa Giusso, is a true tribute to the love of two people who know how to be moved and have fun without filters. »

«We met in San Diego California. Our connection dates back to 2008 when our daughters were both part of the same competitive soccer team. They played together for a couple of years before taking different paths, leading us to lose touch for several years. However, fate had other plans, and a serendipitous encounter brought us back together nearly a decade later. The rest, as they say, is history» the bride shared with us.

«John chose the picturesque setting of Paso Robles, California, to pop the question. We were seated beneath the shade of a magnificent 100-year-old oak tree, nestled in the heart of a vineyard. Savoring a bottle of wine, he seized the moment and asked me to be his forever. The charm of Tuscany, with its reminiscent beauty, played a significant role in our decision to elope there, capturing the essence of the place where our engagement unfolded.»

When you have the rolling hills of Tuscany and the backdrop of Montepulciano as your ceremony backdrop you do not need much in the way of decorations, but we made sure that all the elements we did include were inspired by the rustic charm and natural beauty of the Tuscan countryside. We wanted simplicity yet elegance.

tamara, bride

«My favorite part of the decoration details was the private balcony off of our room that was turned into a Tuscan fairytale by our floral designer. We had olive branches and greenery from a Tuscan vineyard that was installed overhead on the balcony overhang with tons of hanging candles to create the most romantic lighting. The same olive branches, greenery, and candles were placed all around the balcony from floor area to our dinner table, the cake table, etc. »

We enjoyed reading Chic and Stylish Weddings and learning about the beautiful stories and weddings you featured. It inspired us to really be intentional about making sure our day was a representation of our love and our story.

«I was originally inspired by the timeless and simple elegance of Carolyn Bessette wedding dress when she married JFK Jr. Although their wedding took place many-many years ago, her sense of style is a work or art, and her wedding dress is a timeless beauty… »

The bride’s advice: «Craft an experience that revolves entirely around your love story. Opting to elope and later celebrate with a grand reception back home allowed us to seamlessly dedicate the entire day to ourselves. Despite the intimate elopement, no corners were cut in terms of details or expenses. Every element typically found in a traditional wedding – exquisite decor, a stunning venue, and all the customary features – was present. However, the key difference was that it was just the two of us, relishing a moment of undivided attention and devotion. Having both experienced the grandeur of large weddings in our previous marriages, we recognized how easily the focus can shift towards entertaining guests rather than celebrating the essence of the couple. In contrast, our elopement spared us from such considerations, enabling us to channel 100% of our energy and focus exclusively on our love. Our decision to embark on a second journey into matrimony allowed us to curate an authentic experience tailored solely for us. The absence of external expectations meant we could truly immerse ourselves in the creation of a meaningful and personalized celebration. This was an opportunity to honor our love story in a way that felt genuine, profound, and true to the unique connection we share. »

From the Vanessa and Ivo: «They didn’t want a typical wedding. They dreamed of a day spent in an iconic Italian wine estate that made for their perfect celebration. When you’re getting married, it’s not just about the dress, the venue, and the cake. It’s about the story of how you met and fell in love, and what kind of life you want to create together. It’s also about your vision for your wedding day, something that captures your personality and reflects who you are as a couple. And for Tamara and John, that meant a celebration in Italy that would be unlike any other wedding they’d ever seen. The couple wanted something classic, but also unique – a day spent at an iconic Italian wine estate where they could celebrate while soaking up the rich culture of their favorite country. »

Italy is always a good idea, especially for a destination wedding in Tuscan! With panoramic views of the rolling Tuscan hills below, Sarika and Luke shared their first moments as newlyweds in an al fresco garden of a beautiful villa with stunning views. We are completely smitten by all the Indian wedding traditions with the flower garlands, impressive red roses and lush greenery with linoleum set a scene that simply took our breath away! Nikos Gogas captured every beautiful moment from this couple’s wedding and we are simply bursting to share their story with you today!

“We got married in summer in Tavarnelle Val de Pesa, Florence. We met each other upon starting a new job in the New York City metro area! Luke set out to find his soulmate and took a chance at seeing who might “click” on match.com. He came across a profile that charmed him instantly of a beautiful lady with big dreams but strong roots. That was Sarika. After connecting online and the phone, he jumped on the train to New York City to meet her in person at a French restaurant. After five hours of amazing conversation and discovering a deep sense of connection, the relationship took off from there and the rest made history! Luke kneeled down and asked Sarika to spend the rest of her life with him on the banks of the Hudson River with the setting sun on a warm summer evening with the breathtaking New York skyline as the backdrop. And she said yes! She couldn’t imagine spending the rest of her life with anyone else. My wedding dress was an Indian bridal Lehenga which I loved. It was a beautiful red silhouette with hand embroidered flowers”, Sarika shared with us.

“Sarika, the architect always had a love affair with Florence and its beauty, architecture, landscape and rich history. She dreamed of getting married in Florence since college. This dream came true in June 2019 at a beautiful Tuscan villa in Tavarnelle Val di Pesa surrounded by stunning vistas with a view of the city of Florence. This setting was breathtakingly picture perfect and they wanted to celebrate this natural landscape and keep everything else very simple and elegant. The outdoor wedding ceremony was unique as it was a combination of Indian and western traditions. The flowers that we chose were large dark red and peach roses with linolium. The ceremony took place under an olive tree with rolling Tuscan hills and vineyards as the backdrop. There were garlands made with large red roses that we exchanged according to the Indian wedding traditions. The reception had round tables with beautiful and simple rose arrangement in the middle, wine corks holding guests name and candeles and all the tables situated with hanging string lights above. It was a magical outdoor evening setting that we loved!”

“The most favourite moment from our wedding is when we exchanged our vows to each other that we had composed ourselves with the live. harp and violin music in the background with all our friends and family from all over the world set in the beautiful Tuscan landscape”.

Bride’s advice: “This was a destination wedding for us. Our advice would be to find a place that truly resonates with you for your wedding and has deep meaning. It would also be great to find an engaged and professional wedding planner who knows the area inside out like we found in Laura Mugnai from Florence”.

Our wedding decoration was minimal, white and romantic. We love travelling around the world, so the element of traveling was everywhere in our wedding’s details. Our wedding moto was “Live, Love, Travel. We planned and arranged everything ourselves distantly from phone or email from Athens. Luckily, everything turned out to be great and even better than we had imagined it would be. I am a fashion designer myself so i designed and made my own wedding gown. I wanted a fairytale dress that would bet elegant and minimal combining elements of sheer, lace and crystals.”

“My favorite moments of our wedding were arriving to the church from the grand canal by motoscafi accompanied and handed over to the groom by my brother and coming out of the Saint Giorgio dei Greci Church as a married couple and seeing our laughing friends throwing rice on us. In general the fact that we were in Venice with our most selected and beloved people was just loving and magical. Oh and also the grand canal ride after the ceremony!”

Bride’s Advice: “Enjoy every second of it. it will be one of your most cherished lifetime memories. Follow your own agenda and do not aim to please anyone else in terms of how you want the ceremony to be or who to invite to your wedding but yourself. This is Your day!”

From the wonderful gardens of this luxury villa, the modern wedding decoration to the stylish look of the bride, this wedding had absolutely taken our breath away. Get transported to this beautiful scenery through the following photos and get inspired about your wedding decoration and stylish bridal look!

The bride shared with us: “We had a summer wedding in Arezzo, Italy. Alisher came from Vladivostok (Russia) to Greece to meet me. I was living in Greece for 5 years, and he took me back  to Russia. After 3 months while I was in Hong-Kong modeling, he came to visit me and… ask me to marry him…”

“Our wedding had a Great Gatsby theme and it was chic and glamorous. All the guests were wearing thematic outfits… The decoration included many orchids and feathers. My amazing wedding dress was designed by Victoria Kyriakides…”

“All our wedding moments were unforgettable but of course the most unique moment was when my father walked me down the aisle to meet my husband. I was so happy I was crying!”

Bride’s Advice: “Most important is to have an idea how you want your dream wedding to be (Pinterest can helps a lot). Then find best vendors that will help you make it happen. Read reviews about them (planner, catering, entertainment, photographer, videographer etc.)…”

“Because of my modeling career, I had to wear a lot of wedding dresses and they started to seem very monotonous to me over time…  Once when I was working on the Victoria Kyriakides bridal campaign I met Victoria Kyriakides, the most talented designer and fell in love with her dresses.  For many years I was the muse and face of this brand. I always knew that one day when I will get married, my wedding dress will be designed by her.  Therefore, a few months after the proposal, I went to Greece to have Vitoria create my unique dress…”

With details straight out from a fairytale… the castle, the lavish organic greenery, pale peach and white flowers, the effortlessly flowing wedding gown – Oh My! A lovely couple from New York chose to celebrate their love with a wonderful fall wedding in Tuscany. With the help of their floral designer they created the most romantic castle wedding in Italy that might even bring a tear to your eye. We are certain that this destination wedding will melt even the coldest of hearts!

Franci’s Flowers Wedding design shared with us: “The newlyweds from New York, Darina and Edwin, were married on September 25th at the Castello di Segalari. The castle was built in the 14th century and is located in Castagneto Carducci, just a few kilometers from the sea. I couldn’t believe how phenomenal it was when I first saw it. Somehow Tuscany still surprises me with fairytales! Darina is absolutely stunning. Her powder white dress and delicately embroidered veil complimented her natural beauty. She asked me to create a romantic style wedding with soft colors, so I used peach, ivory, and white for the theme. I created a fresh and delicate bouquet for her, which you can see was a collection of plump roses, lisianthus, and very green eucalyptus leaves. I incorporated the same style into the bouquets for the three bridesmaids. The wedding party was accompanied by two perfect children, ring bearer and flower girl. The couple professed their love under an outdoor gazebo decorated with two peachy compositions of roses, lisianthius, and freesias, while translucent white drapes softly danced around them. After the ceremony, the aperitivo (Italian-style cocktails and hors d’oeuvres) was held poolside. The reception tables were set with classic dinnerware, gold candlesticks, and just a touch of peach and rose. The sweetheart table was set below a pergola, illuminated by candles set atop mirrors, others hung by peach and gold ribbon, and fairy lights within the shrubbery.”

The bride shared with us: “We had a fall wedding in Castagneto Carducci. We met through my brother and mutual friends years ago before we even started dating. I had no idea this man would one day be my husband! Edwin surprised me with a beautiful proposal at our favorite beach surrounded by our family. I had no idea what was happening when he asked me to go for a walk and when I turned around he was on his knees and each of our family members was holding up a sign that spelled out “will you marry me” . It was incredibly touching.”

“I really wanted the wedding to have a romantic classic and mystical look. My florist Francis and I decided on peach, white and green flowers for my bouquet. It was gorgeous and to me looked so Tuscan!  The ceremony we had a gorgeous white draped  arch with flower details in the corners.  The table settings we  decided on golden candelabras due to the wind and just lots of candles surrounding the table.  Honestly it was so stunning and I couldn’t have been happier with it. It all felt so romantic to me! there were so many special moments on our wedding day it’s hard to choose…I guess mine would be walking down the aisle with both my parents to my future husband all under the Tuscan sun, surrounded by nature, the sea, our loved ones in this magical venue. It was incredible.”

Bride’s Advise: “My advice would be just remember to have fun in the process and the details, it can be so stressful but the end result will be so worth it. And  also take care of everything beforehand so that on your wedding day the focus really is on just you two.”

This whimsical, intimate wedding in Tuscany, bursting with romance, is downright dreamy. Jammie and Giovani decided to seal and celebrate their love with an unforgettable wedding of about 20 people in one of the dreamiest locations in the world! Surrounded by Tuscany countryside, the two lovebirds had a wonderful ceremony at the Historic Medici Villa of Lilliano, perfectly decorated with greenery floral designs, pastel fresh flowers and rustic details. A long, wooden table was set in the middle of the greenery gardens of the villa waiting the couple and the guests to spend an unforgettable dinner and party. Adorned with florals in red, pink and white hues and illuminated by Italian lights, the result was simply magical! We double dare you not to get swept up in this breathtaking destination wedding!

From Alberto e Alessandra: “The spouses are Jammie and Giovani, two lovely guys living in California but originally from Mexico. They met when they were 18 and 19 and they have grown up together. Jammie studied for a while in Florence and so they wanted their families to experience a bit of what they love. This is the reason why they organized their wedding in Tuscany.”

“It was a small intimate wedding of about 20 people, very romantic, whimsical and magical, exactly as they wished it to be. They got ready in two different apartments in the city center, where they stayed with their guests. Then they headed to the venue, the historic Medici Villa of Lilliano, just outside the city. It is a villa that in the past belonged to the important noble family of the Medici, the lords of Florence. The ceremony was held on the terrace overlooking the Tuscan countryside. At the end of the ceremony the bride and groom wanted to make a surprise gift to their guests: a real Mariachi Band, who accompanied them during the aperitif and dinner, as is traditional in Mexican weddings.”

“The dinner table, full of flowers and illuminated by Italian lights, was wonderful! The atmosphere was intimate, familiar … many of the guests wanted to make their wishes to the newlyweds through speeches at times funny and at times extremely touching and moving. Obviously, the cutting of the cake and the dances, always outdoors, could not be missing.”

“For the couple’s photo session, we moved to a nearby olive grove (which is always part of the property) and then to the main garden of the villa itself, near a beautiful and scenic fountain.”

These two lovebirds tied the knot at Villa Regina Teodolinda in Italy, and we are totally enraptured by their stunning wedding! The couple and the guests had a great time next to the enchanted lakeside in the famous village of Laglio, with a relaxed, dreamy ceremony and a cheerful reception. Both the ceremony and reception were beautifully decorated with opulent floral designs with greenery and white flowers and elegant details such as chic tableware, candles and gold vases. The gorgeous decoration was enhanced by the natural beauty of the villa and make the result even dreamier. We really loved the chic look of the couple and specifically the unique, long-sleeve dress of the pretty bride. We could go on and on for days, but we’ll let the photos do the talking…

Alberto e Alessandra shared with us: “We liked a lot this marriage because, despite being a decidedly elegant and stylish wedding, the general atmosphere was very relaxed, cheerful and friendly.We are sure that both the spouses and the guests had a great time. The spouses, Julia and Carlo, chose one of the most elegant and romantic venues of Lake Como: Villa Regina Teodolinda. Is situated in the enchanted lakeside in the famous village of Laglio, a location often frequented by movie stars (George Clooney lives just a few meters from there). So, when Julia and Carlo asked us to photograph their wedding, we really couldn’t say no. The wedding day was preceded by a welcome dinner, during which all the guests had the opportunity to enjoy a delicious pizza. The joyful and relaxed atmosphere of the first evening continued even the following day: Julia and Carlo did not stop even for a second from smiling, as did all their guests. The glance that day was surprising, also thanks to the wonderful floral arrangements of Figli dei Fiori, which enhanced the beauty of the villa even more. The whole wedding took place outdoors: the ceremony in the garden by the lake and dinner in front of the facade of the Villa. The couple session was carried out partly in the garden of the venue, partly on board a luxurious Riva motorboat, with which the bride and groom were able to take a tour of the Lake.”
