The vision for the design centers around creating a luxurious outdoor living room experience within the romantic Italian garden.

Each piece of furniture is carefully selected to complement the villa's timeless beauty, ensuring an inviting and refined atmosphere that elevates the entire celebration.
Proposal Story
When we first met with this lovely couple, they expressed their dream of a once-in-a-lifetime Italian wedding. They chose Florence, the quintessential romantic city known for its architecture and Renaissance charm. They desired a lavish wedding, but with an emphasis on elegance without overdoing it. As wedding planners, we proposed an enchanting design for their special day at the exquisite Villa Gamberaia, capturing the essence of elegance and sophistication.
Our vision combined the villa's historical charm with meticulously curated decor to create an unforgettable experience. Imagine an alfresco ceremony with elegant floral arrangements enhancing the natural beauty of the surroundings. For the aperitivo, we transformed the garden into a luxurious outdoor living room, complete with plush sofas and stylish armchairs, evoking the comfort and sophistication of a grand Italian residence.
For the lavish dinner, we designed a stunning table adorned with an abundance of flowers, a true feast for the eyes. Every detail of the table setting was meticulously chosen, from the refined plates and cutlery to the elegant linens, creating perfect harmony. The scene was further enhanced by beautiful golden chandeliers, gracefully hanging and casting a warm, romantic glow. These chandeliers were framed by lush green plants, adding a touch of natural vibrancy and completing a setup that enchanted and captivated every guest.
Our team ensured every detail was thoughtfully considered, from the selection of fine table settings and linens to the ambient lighting that cast a romantic glow over the evening. We collaborated closely with top-tier vendors to provide exquisite cuisine, bespoke floral designs, and seamless coordination, guaranteeing a flawless celebration that reflected the couple's unique love story.

Wedding Cake
The couple selected the Italian millefoglie wedding cake, a treat that is more than just a wedding cake but also a beloved dessert for its sheer goodness. Millefoglie is made with layers of delicate pastry, rich chantilly cream, and red fruits that add a touch of acidity to balance the sweetness. Everyone loved the cake. The place in the Villa where the cake was cut was magnificent, and with the play of lights, it created a romantic atmosphere.
