You won’t want to miss a single moment of this pastel wedding under the Tuscan sun. Weddings by Silke designed and planned the idyllic day and filled it with special touches like fresh olive oil from the grounds of Villa Montanare as favors for guests. Romantic floral design by Copihue Floral Studio brings the couple’s love story to life, and Stella Mia Photography artfully captures every magical moment in timeless photography. Visit the full gallery for a closer look at all the lovely.

From Weddings by Silke… The lovely couple Meagan and Matt who live in Colorado connected with us in mid-June to plan and design their beautiful wedding with their nearest in dearest at the enchanting Villa Montanare and we were pleased we made their wedding dreams come to reality. Honestly, it was a challenge to bring together this gorgeous vendor team together last minute in the high season, but it helped a lot, that the wedding took place on a Thursday. Eight of Meagan and Matt’s family members joined them on the quaintest of Tuscan weddings set by the backdrop of the beautiful Villa Montanare. Their wedding proves that size and glam are two separate items that do not interfere with each other at all. Meagan and Matt’s wedding had all the elements you’d expect from two people who value family, delicious food and wine, art, fashion, nature, and of course each other! Black suits and bow ties were a great way to set that tone. While getting married in a Tuscan olive grove reminds you to stop, take a moment, and breathe it all in.

The marvelous color palette was in pastel tones – with white, rose, antique blush, mauve, purple, gold & greenery. The talented girls of Copihue Floral Studio created magic with juliette (english roses), lisianthus, spray roses, Japanese anemone, aster, clematis, scabious, and pittosporum. The couple arrived at the scenic Villa Montanare the day before their wedding and started with a warm-up coupled shooting with the super-talented Nick from Stella Mia Photography. On their wedding day, the couple was getting ready separately in the two spacious beautiful mountain view suites of the Villa. Meagan and Matt decided to hold their gorgeous symbolic ceremony in the charming olive garden behind the Villa and all loved this amazing aisle set up with a beautiful arch and gorgeous floral arrangements at the beginning of the aisle. Meagan looked so beautiful, she wore a stunning dress from Savin London and amazing shoes of Badgley Mischka. Matt looked so handsome in his classy tux. After the emotional ceremony, the couple and their guests celebrated the cocktail hour with finger food and gelato at the amazing pool area. The highlight was the amazing vintage ice cream cart of the gorgeous Cassia Vetus. While the guests enjoyed the Aperitivo, the couple took the most beautiful pictures in the golden light, and in the middle, Meagan switched for the dinner to a spectacular short dress by Watters. The impressive dinner took place at the amazing Terrazza Bellavista with a breathtaking view over the valley. Since it was supposed to be quite chilly at night, we decided on a beautiful gazebo with a crystal chandelier to cover the dining area, which rounded up this stunning elegant setup perfectly – of course with a 360-degree Tuscan view! We had the chance to represent the dinner set up to Meagan and Matt during their portrait session and they were so happy that they started immediately dancing. As guest gifts, Meagan and Matt choose the 100% biological hand-picked olive oil of Villa Montanare, which was prepared at the entrance to the dining area together with pictures of the ancestors of the couple.

As the shadow of the mountains overtook the light, the party just got started! The toasts were sentimental, the cake was sweet and the dancing was nonstop laughter! Nothing was left out… not even a proper sparkler send-off! Half the fun is just trying to light them, but once they are lit it’s a lot of hooting, hollering, and celebrating two people and the love they share under the Tuscan sky.
