A Fairytale Destination Wedding In Italy
Fairy tales exist! Olivia and Lucas are an incredibly beautiful couple from Austria who wanted to have a fabulous wedding. They really like the classic and romantic style, and therefore, our couple wanted to prepare a classic open-air wedding while not losing the elegance of the event. They wanted to hold the official ceremony in a church with panoramic views of the Tuscan Hills. Isn't this a fairy tale?
The big wedding dress is a tribute to the bride's mother's wedding dress. She also had puffy sleeves and big roses on the back. Olivia visited a fashion school and designed her dresses on her own. It is a taffeta fabric from a D&G collection. It’s sewen in an atelier in Vienna. - The lace dress - Olivia always dreamed about two styles of wedding dresses. A dramatic taffeta dress and a lace dress with pearls on the back, high neck, and long sleeves. So she decided to switch her dresses. The lace dress is also custom-made. - The party dress: the bride loves capes and wanted something light and a dreamy look for the party. It’s a silk dress with pearls and a chiffon cape. Also, this dress is custom-made.
The color scheme was delicate floral bridesmaid dresses.
Lukas Suit was a linen double-breasted suit from the Italian brand Tagliatore.
Before the wedding dinner, an aperitif was waiting for the guests, at which the first appearance of the bride and groom turned out to be very bright. The couple went to the tower of crystal glasses, pouring champagne with their own hands for all the guests. There were also corners with Tuscan cheeses, cold cuts, and tempura vegetables for the aperitif. At the gala dinner, the best catering in Tuscany offered a royal set.
Starter: Courgette flower with burrata cheese filling on cherry tomato sauce and crispy sautéed courgette
First Course: Calamarata with Verace clams, basil flavored courgette strips
Main Course: Beef fillet with aromatic herbs, Belgian endive purée, and sweet and sour red onions
With such a stunning location as Villa La Commenda Concordia, the flower decorations must coincide with the level of the venue. To attain this goal, we were working with rich textiles, gorgeous floral arrangements and beautiful golden tableware. The elegant applique tablecloth and colorful napkins played a key role in the reception area’s design, compiling the floral arrangements with breathtaking views. The beautiful, stylish compositions consist of a wide selection of flowers of blue and pink tones: dahlias, various kinds of roses, astilba, scabiosa, sweet peas, and narine. The candles became an elegant touch to the general look of the compositions.
Our couple cooked the traditional Italian Milfey wedding cake together with the chef right in front of the guests. It was strewn with fresh wild berries, and the culmination of the dinner was the opening of a bottle of sparkling wine with a sword!
The classical trio, consisting of Piano, Violin, and Cello from the Florentine orchestra, performed at the ceremony in the church. Specifically for this event, they dedicated time to master the selected compositions:
Entrance:
Lukas + Best Men entrance: "Home" by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros
Olivia + Bridesmaids entrance:
"Happiness Does Not Wait" by Ólafur Arnalds
Song for Kiss & Signing papers:
"Canon in D" by Pachelbel
Lighting up candle:
Iris cover by Modde Music on Piano, Violin, Cello
Going out:
"Wildest Dreams" by Taylor Swift
Their rendition added a touch of elegance and harmony to the ceremony, making it a memorable musical experience for everyone in attendance.
The bride especially wanted to leave her ceremonial dress as a surprise for the groom. In this regard, she has already prepared three wedding dresses. The first was a lace dress - delicate and beautiful, in a retro style. An unusual bouquet in green tones was matched to it. Olivia wore this dress for the first meeting with the groom and their joint photo shoot before the ceremony. Then Olivia asked Lucas to go to church early with the guests, and she secretly changed into a second gorgeous dress, which was custom-made in Vienna. In this dress, everyone saw our bride in the church with another bouquet in delicate shades and a beautiful long veil. But Olivia changed the third dress after the cake for the dance part. This dress was light, delicate, and flowing, which was especially remembered by all guests.
