Under an ivory-draped tent with hanging crystal chandeliers stood a white linen imperial table. The tablescape consisted of glowing candles, crystal glasses, neutral flowers, and silver hints. The head of the table was adorned with romantic all-white floral arrangements. Ana and Javier's wedding was the epitome of a timeless and elegant celebration!

Wedding Cake
The couple chose a traditional Millefeuille cake with fresh strawberries. The cake was put together live in front of everyone (live cooking show) which created a very euphoric atmosphere!
Special Detail #1

At the night reception, the couple had a champagne tower, a sparkling display that makes for a fun statement to raise a toast. The day ended dancing the night away with the lively music from the Britpops band.

Special Detail #2
Villa Cetinale is an architectural marvel with a world-famous garden, its own chapel, hermitage, and holy wood. The park contains seven votive chapels, sixteen full-length statues and 29 busts, as well as many stone animals and monsters. What makes it unique, however, is that it has been a centre for horse racing, hunting, sacred pilgrimages, and lavish entertaining; a combination that can be found nowhere else.
