An All White Lake Como Wedding Blooming With Baby's Breath

Chloe from the very beginning had the vision of her wedding day to be all white. Elegant and sophisticated. While all the guests to support the style wearing black tie.

I actually flew to Los Angeles with my mom and sister for a girls trip to pick out my wedding dress! I had four appointments lined up in LA., the first was at Kinsley James Couture Bridal. I walked in and Gabrielle helped me (she was amazing), I told her my vision was editorial vogue vibes, something that was a moment. She looked at me and walked to the back immediately to grab the dress that was sent in for a bridal show they were doing in a few days for the designer Rita Vinieris. Long story short, it was the very first dress I tried on and I fell in love with it. Which if you know me, is a shock that I picked the very first dress I tried on, lol! I knew immediately that was exactly what I was looking for. My dress is a Rita Vinieris, and I customized the neckline making it deeper and more curved with alterations.

Brand is Nookie and then we cut the straps and custom added the pearl strands (literally from Amazon). Everyone at the wedding was in black, so I wanted to add a little bit of a statement for the bridesmaids to incorporate the black and white theme. They turned out better than expected!

The couple and their guests were treated to a delightful culinary journey, from refreshing cocktails to a sumptuous Italian aperitif, followed by a seated dinner featuring three delectable courses. The celebration concluded on a sweet note with a delectable wedding cake and an enticing sweet buffet. Following the ceremony, the couple and their guests indulged in a rich Italian aperitif. A wide array of tantalizing finger foods and delectable bites awaited everyone, showcasing the diverse flavors of Italian cuisine.

The abundance of white baby's breath, meticulously arranged, creates a dreamlike ambiance. The delicate flowers seem to float effortlessly, lending an air of purity and grace to the surroundings. Their ethereal presence speaks of love, innocence, and everlasting beauty, perfectly symbolizing the union of two souls. The focal point: a long, enchanting table stretching as far as the eye can see, adorned with delicate white linens and an array of flickering candles casting a warm, romantic glow.

At this extraordinary wedding, the couple chose to showcase the artistry of Italian pastry with a show cooking of the iconic millefoglie. The air is filled with anticipation as the talented chef takes center stage, ready to craft a masterpiece before the awe-inspired guests. With a graceful touch, the chef layers delicate puff pastry sheets, creating a foundation of light, flaky goodness. The air is infused with the tantalizing aroma of freshly whipped cream, rich vanilla, and the promise of luscious sweetness. The chef deftly spreads a generous amount of the velvety cream between each layer, ensuring a harmonious balance of texture and flavor.

When I first reached out to Anastasia to see if Italy would even be an option with our budget, she was so upfront about the costs (which I loved). It was important to us since we knew we had a smaller wedding guestlist to not have a space which felt huge to the number of guests we had. When she recommended Villa Regina Teodolinda, we knew it was perfect! It was that classic Italian villa feel, without being too big or too showy, something about it felt so homey when you were there. We wanted our wedding to flow very organically and not forced, and this venue allowed us to do just that!
