The Planning

Design / Vibe / Vision

Florence and the Tuscan region as a whole is classically beautiful and romantic, and we wanted to stay true to this. We wanted to celebrate our love with a classically romantic and elegant wedding that fit flawlessly within the walls of Villa Cora. Roses were a big inspiration – from the florals to the menus, place settings and overall color scheme. We wanted this to be an intimate wedding with our closest friends and family, where love and intimacy was felt by all. Place settings included our favorite quotes about love written by great writers and poets, and at the end of dinner, guests were surprised with handwritten letters by the bride and groom. These details were so important to us, because we were incredibly grateful that guests had made the trip to celebrate with us in our favorite city of Florence.

Proposal Story

Dave proposed to me (Colbie) at the Jefferson Memorial in Washington, D.C. in June 2022. My Parents (Mr. and Mrs. Errico) got engaged in this very spot which made it incredibly special. We both reside in Washington, D.C. and the picturesque Jefferson Memorial is one of Colbie’s favorite places in D.C.

The Fashion

Wedding Gown

The wedding gown is the Bobbie dress by Justin Alexander. It has an intricate sweetheart style boustier which is designed with individually laser-cut flowers of different shapes and sizes and drapes over the shoulders, which the bride removed for portions of the evening and wore as a strapless dress. The long satin train contains satin-covered buttons all the way down the back of the dress, and a slit in the front allows for the bride to show some leg as well. The dress was described as romantic and classic, with a unique twist. It was purchased in Charleston, South Carolina at Bridal House of Charleston.

Bridesmaid Dresses

The bridesmaids wore floor-length rose blush bridesmaids dresses by Show Me Your Mumu, all in different styles.

Groomsman Attire

Groomsmen looked classically handsome in their tuxes.
