Food & Drink
Food and drink were central to this wedding celebration, with a delicious menu that included traditional Italian cuisine served at Relais Vittoria on Lake Como. The guests enjoyed a selection of finely prepared meats, paired with Italian wines, including crisp white wines and robust reds. A special highlight of the day was the stop at Villa Del Balbianello, where the couple and their guests toasted with a glass of Prosecco, adding a touch of elegance and celebration to the experience.
Florals & Decor
Floral decorations were the focal point of the wedding design. The couple chose arrangements of white and pink flowers with an abundance of green foliage, adorning both the ceremony and reception. The tables were decorated with low vases of flowers and lit candles, creating a romantic and intimate atmosphere. Every detail, from the floral compositions to the place settings, was meticulously curated, making the entire event a visually stunning experience.
Wedding Cake
In a thoughtful and generous gesture, the couple decided to forgo the traditional wedding cake. Instead, they chose to allocate the funds that would have been spent on the cake to support medical research. This decision not only reflects their commitment to making a positive impact but also added a meaningful layer to their wedding celebration, reminding their guests of the importance of giving back and supporting causes close to their hearts.
