Floral Splendor Filled With Romance at Villa Carlotta

The Planning
The Inspiration

Villa Carlotta is renowned for its breathtaking gardens, historic architecture, and stunning views of Lake Como. AMV Retreats team drew inspiration from the lush greenery, vibrant floral displays, and the romantic ambiance of this iconic location. They wanted to harmonize the natural beauty of the gardens with elegant wedding aesthetics, creating a seamless blend of nature and celebration.

The Venue

Villa Carlotta sits by Lake Como. Its lush gardens, adorned with vibrant blooms and majestic trees, offer a picturesque backdrop. The villa's rich heritage, showcased through its elegant architecture and art collections, invites visitors to immerse themselves in centuries of cultural splendor.

The Fashion
Wedding Gown

The wedding gown by Reem Acra is a true masterpiece, adorned with exquisite flower details that add a touch of enchantment. Its flowing silhouette, coupled with a long, graceful veil, creates an ethereal and timeless look for the bride. In contrast, the reception dress by Ines Di Santo is shorter but equally elegant. With intricate details and a stunning back opening, this dress exudes sophistication. Its design, worn elegantly under the arms, offers a modern and chic twist, perfect for celebrating and dancing the night away.

The Details
Florals & Decor

At this workshop, nature paints a vibrant story through flowers and decor. As for the ceremony set up, picture a transition from white blossoms to sunny yellows and pastel oranges, adorning an open arch overflowing with beauty. Flowers grace the chairs' fronts, inviting everyone to a floral wonderland. The wedding cake, a minimalist white canvas, boasts delicate floral accents, mirroring the elegance of the setting. Tables adorned with centerpieces from Garden of Love, Italy, feature blooms amid flickering candles. The tableware, in opulent gold and detailed like the bride's gown, elevates the setting with plates reminiscent of artistry and sophistication.

Favorite Design Element
The table furniture by "Tableset Luxury Rentals" plays a pivotal role in this narrative. The table setup is where magic happens for me. The blend of colors on these tables, with the whites and golds dancing together, creates an enchanting atmosphere. The room seems to come alive with each delicate detail on the plates, reflecting the elegance of the bride's gown. It's like a canvas of sophistication where every flower and candle flicker tells a story of love and celebration.
Tips To Pull Off The Look

1. Color Harmony: Focus on a color palette that transitions smoothly from whites to yellows and oranges. Integrate these shades into floral arrangements, table settings, and even the bridal party attire.


2. Floral Décor: Invest in abundant flowers for a semi-arch, chair adornments, and table centerpieces. Ensure the florals match the chosen colors, creating a seamless flow of hues.


3. Minimalist Elegance: Embrace simplicity in design, like a white wedding cake with subtle floral accents. Keep the décor refined yet impactful.
