‘Dolce Vita’ Inspired Wedding at Villa La Massa in Florence

This wedding design was based on La Dolce Vita emerges at a time when Italy was reviving, perhaps returning to its most pagan and libertine past, breathing deep breaths of madness, embracing superficiality, pure enjoyment and all the imperfections of life in a constant intertwining of tragedy and joy, drama and fun, and this is how life presents itself to us every day.

On one of our work-pleasure trips to the Côte d'Azur, Jan suggested going for a walk through Mentón, a French city that almost borders Italy. The day was spectacular, sunny, and the mild weather of May days. I noticed something strange about Jan, as if he was looking for something, while we walked to the top of Mentón to have the best views of the city. To our surprise, one of the points where you can have a panoramic view is a cemetery. So once we got there and had looked around we decided to go down to the car to return to Monaco. However, Jan continued looking for something... and that something appeared in front of us. A clearing of light entered through a small cobbled square that was very pretty. We stopped when we saw how beautiful that space was, when then Jan knelt down (a little abruptly which caused him to hit one of his knees on the cobbled floor) and said to me: - My dear, I'm going to ask you something that I hope you answer quickly because my knee hurts, will you marry me? - to which I obviously responded with a lot of emotion and laughter at what happened to be - YES!

2 beautiful dresses: for the ceremony and dinner were designed by Milla Nova. The bride was looking stunning for the ceremony and dinner and then changed her dress for the rest of the party to feel more comfortable and dance all the night long.

We used an Italian tailor Sartoria Rossi and it was the best decision ever seeing how ideal the suit for Jan was made and how stylish it looked on him on the wedding day.

Bride and groom wanted to surprise their guests with most delicious traditional Italian options: pizzas and pastas. They never fail, especially in Italy.

Beautiful creation of Mary Poppies, elegant and vibrant! The venue was blooming with flowers and it was a magic to see how Mary were changing the place with her floral artwork.

Guests enjoyed a delicious cake created by Melanie from Tuscan Wedding Cakes, for the design we chose Italian motives with lemons & leaves, and the flavor was Tuscan Sunset (light and refreshing moist vanilla cake filled with layers of tangy, fresh apricot mousse).

We enjoyed playing with different types of music for different moments of the wedding day: for ceremony incredible Deb Jones with her unforgettable voice, for the cocktail and dinner cool band of Cosimo and the Hot Coals from Milan, for the afterparty DJ Checco and mariachis El Magnifico.
