You’d Never Believe This Tuscan Inspired Venue That Recently Opened to the Public Is Actually in LA

Looking for a Tuscan escape a little closer to home?  Leave it to the talented team at Milk Events to bring all the romance of the Italian countryside to Shakespeare’s Club – a stunning Pasadena venue that recently opened up to the public for events! Wild Muse Florals created idyllic, pastel arrangements that perfectly complimented the Italianate Renaissance architecture of the venue and surrounding gardens. If you’re dreaming of a European destination wedding in COVID times, head on over to the full gallery from Ether and Smith to get inspired on how to bring those Euro feels to your very own backyard.

From Milk EventsWhat started as the excitement to honeymoon in the rolling hills of Tuscany quickly changed as plans were canceled due to the on-growing pandemic. With the trip postponed, I was constantly thinking about the olive orchards and vineyard tours and decided to channel that energy into something positive. 

Something colorful, cheerful, and romantic. The first step was finding the perfect venue. As a Pasadena native, The Villa at Shakespeare Club has always been close, but only recently did they open up to the public for events. It was perfect. 

The villa terrace and courtyard are stunning in its own right, but the wisteria arbor completely transports you. With the sunset shining from behind, Los Angeles couldn’t feel further away. When designing this shoot, there was a team I already had in mind. Bringing on Emma from Ether and Smith was key in making sure the beauty of the space was captured perfectly.
