The wedding ceremony was decorated with a half-crescent ground arch composed of white blooms, a flower petal walkway, and two floral urns. The elegant reception was one of great inspiration. 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!

[field title=”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.[/field]
