✨ I just can’t get over Apulia! It is the epitome of fresh, modern, effortless, unassuming elegance, and it does work, no matter the spin you want to give to the aesthetic of your event. 

Take Louise and David: they wanted a touch of rustic warmth and the magnificent masseria Montalbano, located just outside the renowned town of Ostuni, simply delivered, providing a pristine backdrop, as well as the perfect flow, even for a relatively large destination wedding (160 guests) as this was.

Coming to the exquisite pics, I have no words left for my dear friend and superb photographer Matteo Lomonte, who, as a born and bred Apulian, captures the soul of his land and the inner beauty of the couples like nobody else.

Dreaming of the most unforgettable Apulian wedding? Shoot a DM and let’s go 🤍

Lake Como but make it couture 💍✨
Where the mountains dress dramatically, the villas mind their own generational wealth, and the water is so still it practically whispers “old money only.”
If weddings had a front row at fashion week, Lake Como would be seated dead center in silk gloves and vintage diamonds. Sunrise espresso on the terrace, vows under cypress trees, golden hour doing unspeakably flattering things to everyone’s skin, and a boat entrance like you’re starring in your own Italian film.
It’s not just a location — it’s a soft launch into your oh so glamorous romance celebration.
Some places host weddings, Lake Como hosts legacies. Want to know more? DM me!

Villa Corsini a Mezzomonte: where “just another Tuscan wedding” accidentally turns into a full-blown timeless fairytale.

Usually ancient venues have to adjust to the needs of an event, Villa Corsini instead has been conceived right from the start as THE PERFECT party place from one of the most affluent families of Florence - which still run it to this day - and boy it shows!

Sun-drenched gardens adorned with fountains and statues, cypress-lined views, frescoed halls that whisper centuries of love stories… and that golden-hour light that makes everyone look like they belong in a Renaissance painting. It’s giving romance, it’s giving drama, it’s giving “we flew everyone to Italy and it was 100% worth it.”

If you’re going to say I do, you might as well do it with a view over the most iconic Tuscan rolling hills and a spritz in hand. 🇮🇹✨

Chasing Lemons & I Do’s (aka the Amalfi Coast) 🍋💍

Let’s be honest: your love story is great, but it’s even better with a 180° view of the Tyrrhenian Sea and a glass of vintage Bollicine in hand.

If you’re going to promise "forever," you might as well do it somewhere that’s been fabulous since the Roman Empire. The Amalfi Coast isn’t just a destination; it’s a flex. It’s for the couple who wants their wedding photos to look like a 1960s Slim Aarons print and their guests to forgive them for the 400 uphill stairs they had to climb in stilettos.

Why the Amalfi Coast? (Besides the obvious)

The Aesthetic: Cobblestone cathedrals and bougainvillea-draped terraces. It’s basically nature’s own filter.

The Romance: Who needs a getaway car when you can have a getaway Riva boat? 🚤

The Menu: Replacing a standard chicken dinner with handmade scialatielli and lemons the size of your head.

The Vibe: High-octane glamour meets "I’m on my third Aperol Spritz and I’ve forgotten my own name."

Pro Tip: Tell your bridesmaids to skip the high heels for the ceremony. A sprained ankle is so last season, and those Positano slopes don't play.

Jokes aside: the logistics in this location is not for the faint hearted, but I promise it will be sooo worth it!

The Venues’ Collection: chapter 2 - Villa Cimbrone 

✨ A garden suspended in the clouds. A terrace that stops conversations mid-sentence. An hotel that understands drama — and deploys it sparingly.

Villa Cimbrone in Ravello isn’t a wedding venue; it’s an experience in restraint and romance. Marble statues, sweeping vistas, and that iconic Infinity Terrace that politely reminds everyone why they traveled this far.

Ceremonies in the Tea Room feel hushed and reverent, receptions unfold like a European film scene, and every moment carries the quiet confidence of a place that has hosted poets, royalty, and now — your love story. It’s elegant without trying, grand without shouting, and impossibly timeless in the way only Italy can manage. 

On top of all this, Villa Cimbrone is one of the very, very few hotels able to host weddings flawlessly, whether you privatize the whole venue - or not; should you be thinking of a 12 guests impossibly intimate and romantic celebration, or of a grand 150 guests party, the venue ALWAYS delivers. Shoot a DM and we’ll discuss your dream in Ravello ✨

The Perfect Timeline for a Laid-Back, Utterly Elegant Wedding in Italy 🇮🇹 - Part Two

12-9 months out 

Besides your better half, by now you have already found your wedding planner, location and venue. Yay! Now the rest unfolds calmly:
– Catering
– Photographer & videographer
– Floral design
– Music
– Beauty team
– Stationery & styling details

Your planner will pace this intentionally, securing the key vendors early and refining the rest with time and clarity.

6–9 months out
Design comes into focus. Menus are curated. Guest experience is considered. Nothing rushed, nothing forced.

The final months
Polish, confirm, breathe.
Because a truly elegant Italian wedding isn’t built in a sprint—it’s shaped slowly, with care, space, and trust.

The goal?
A wedding that feels less like an event… and more like it simply belonged there all along. 🤍 🇮🇹

Save this if you believe planning should feel as beautiful as the day itself.

🥳💃 4 moves to plan the most unforgettable, amazing, exhilarating party ever!

Use the light! The party is the one section of the whole wedding project where the lighting takes center stage, so go big ✨

Create a flow, based on the length of the party itself. Having a concert-like atmosphere with a live band, followed by a club mood with a cool dj session, does work 🎷🥁

Start with a bang! Fireworks are a fantastic way to get the party started 🎆

Carefully study the perfect open bar and dessert buffet to keep your folk full & merry 🥂🍭

🍕🍷 Destination weddings do need a welcome party! As the guests often travel from far and wide, it offers the perfect opportunity for them to meet and break the ice in a relaxed, informal setting before the big day; everyone connects naturally — laughter, conversation, and shared anticipation set the tone for the celebrations to come.

For the couple, the welcome party is a genuine and heartfelt way to greet their guests; whether it’s a casual pizza and gelato party under the stars, an aperitivo by the sea, or a gathering reflecting the ethnic roots of either the bride or the groom, the event allows them to spend quality time with loved ones and to personally thank them for being part of such a meaningful moment 🍦🎊

When guests wake up on the wedding morning already comfortable and at ease, the entire atmosphere becomes more joyful, vibrant, and effortless — the perfect start to a truly E P I C celebration‼️
