Romantic elegant – Our vision was a blend of relaxed elegance and traditional Tuscan charm. We imagined an intimate celebration at Villa Montanare, with a sun-drenched ceremony in a peaceful olive grove and a casual, yet luxurious, atmosphere. Guests enjoyed canapés on a terrace overlooking the valley, followed by a dinner under fairy lights among the olive trees and dancing in a cozy marquee, all set against the stunning backdrop of a Tuscan summer.

[field title=”Proposal Story”]After four incredible years together, my husband proposed on a yacht in the Santorini caldera during our year of travel. As we sailed through the tranquil waters and admired the breathtaking views, he asked me to marry him. It was a simple yet deeply meaningful moment that perfectly captured the romance of our adventure.[/field]
