Elegantly captured by Melanie Nedelko, you’re going to be breathless over every last detail. Get transported to Italy with all the beautiful imagery in the full gallery.
From FINE MOMENTS… With its beautiful landscapes full of olive trees and vineyards, the gorgeous architecture in local sand-stone, the sunny climate and the untouched beaches, Apulia is becoming a secret escape with lots of authentic Italian lifestyle to discover. For our editorial shoot, we wanted to create an inspiration capturing Apulia’s refined simplicity combining it with modern elegance.
For the bridal look, we went for a chic “pleat” dress by Elfenkleid that wows with an architectural silhouette and light flowy fabrics. Together with Bella Belle’s sleek Kate sandals, fine My Felicity jewelry, natural make-up and loose updo by locals Michela Caravella and Domenico Floriello this makes for contemporary bridal vibes.
Romantic florals in soft tones in the color scheme of the castle created the base for the floral design by Ponk Rentals. Stunning low centerpieces complemented the handmade ceramics, while the dreamy ceremony set up on the terrace of Vinilia Wine Resort overlooking the Apulian landscape created poetic moments. Capturing the modern vibe of the venue we used plates and custom-made flower vessels of local ceramic designer Enza Fasano in a typical Apulian decor working with different colors and combined modern chairs in grey with matching tablecloths as a chic contrast to the warm tones of the venue.
The stationery designed by Carissimo Letterpress creates a sleek, modern look with mixed colored papers and minimal typography. Elegance is added by using gold foil and hand-illustrated details like the drawing of the gorgeous castle.
We hope you are inspired byMelanie Nedelko’s photos scanned by Carmencita and the video by Merak Studio and start dreaming of a wedding in Bella Italia…
