[section title=”The Planning”]

[field title=”Wedding Colors”]We brought the Tuscan landscape into Design and evoked it through colors, botanical

elements and perfumes.[/field]

[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]We planned a three-day event for this life-lover couple and their guests to savor an authentic

Tuscan experience.

The first day: Greetings from Tuscany.

Let’s imagine a postcard of the landscape of the Sienese countryside, which becomes the

world in which guests and spouses immerse themselves.

Second day: Wedding day – Tuscany in verse

We tell Tuscany through the poetry of Dante and Petrarca because our land is not only food and traditions but also culture.

When we talk about Tuscany, we must also talk about its poetry. And we want to do it by

choosing love verses from these two Tuscan poets.

We celebrate love, beauty and culture.

We find details like a canvas with poems, hand-decorated tableau and menus, and live

painting.

The wedding cake has the textured surface of an ancient Tuscan venue. It is fissured and

suspended to recall the connection between the earth and the ethereal, carnal love and

spiritual love we found in Petrarca and Dante’s poetry.

Third day: Golden vineyards

Market stalls, bicycles, straw hats and botanical lunch for a typical Tuscan experience. This

is an immersive lunch in nature. We see the exaltation of the natural colors that the

landscape offers us; we make the vineyards, the land and the Tuscany protagonists.

Our spouses and guests share meaningful moments, laugh and sing Italian songs. We

wanted them to feel the connection to tradition, which is family, love, and roots.[/field]

[field title=”Proposal Story”]When Luca and Cleina met, there were food, drinks and laughs, as in the best Italian

tradition. They suddenly felt something unique. And they were right.

With shared values, great love, a dog and a lovely daughter, they planned a Destination

Wedding in Tuscany to celebrate their love.

[field title=”Florals & Decor”]Our design incorporates elements of the beautiful Tuscan landscape, from the rolling hills and sprawling vineyards to the vibrant colors of the Mediterranean flora. By evoking these natural features through our use of colors, botanicals, and fragrances, we’ve created a space that transports you to the heart of Tuscany. With every breath, you can take in the fresh scent of blooming flowers and aromatic herbs, while the warm tones of the sun-soaked landscape envelop you. Whether you’re seeking a serene retreat or a touch of Mediterranean glamour, our design brings the beauty of Tuscany right to your doorstep.[/field]

[field title=”Wedding Cake”]Our wedding cake is not just a sweet treat, but a work of art that reflects the rich cultural heritage of Tuscany. Its textured surface is reminiscent of the ancient stone walls of Tuscan venues, with deep fissures and rough edges that add depth and character. But this cake is more than just a nod to history – it also represents the connection between the earthly and the spiritual, the carnal and the divine. Inspired by the works of famous poets like Petrarch and Dante, our cake is suspended in a way that evokes the balance between these elements, creating a stunning visual representation of the beauty and complexity of love. Every bite is a celebration of the rich history and culture of Tuscany, and a tribute to the enduring power of love.[/field]
