Fairytale Lake Como Wedding in Shades of Blue and White Colors at Villa Cipressi

The Planning
Design / Vibe / Vision
The Hotel Villa Cipressi, set in Varenna, is a lost paradise with its picturesque gorgeous garden on the bank of lake Como, Eden in all senses especially for the couples who are really eager to exchange their vows and to swear in eternal love. All possible and impossible shades of blue and sapphire and turquoise of the lake are the protogonists of any lake wedding just framing and spilling over everywhere. The botanic garden with winding paths, stairs and small terraces serve a natural amphitheater and a splendid backstage for an ideal wedding. Their wedding is a masterpiece of details and harmony of each element twisted and tailored to correspond their expectations. Great ones to come true to life. Signed by GUIA PUSTERLA, wedding planner, whose female hand conducted the melody of the day, tuning everything according to the modern trends and desires of the couple.
Proposal Story

Anthony’s and Cristina’s love love story began in 2021. It was their first trip to Europe together when they fell in love with Lake Como and knew they wanted to get married there with friends and family! After the engagement a year later, at Cabo San Lucas at the Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal, the choice of the ideal wedding location was certain - only Como.

The Fashion
Wedding Gown
The bride’s dress by Tom Sebastien is more than just a dress – it’s a story told. Being handmade and with high-end couture beauty it underlines every single curve with lace and slashes on the earth with a gorgeous trail, and a veil, all together forming an intricate harmony of textures and elements. ‘Something blue’ is a ruling element of the shoes, even though being “The right shoe which make everything different.”, especially signed by Jimmy Choo.
Groomsman Attire
Masculine reply of the groom sounds classy and balanced, silent luxury, with the sound of old money. And once again custom suiting which is in Mike Mohan’s blood. The tailor acquired his vast knowledge of fabrics and client-centric approach from his family to reflect the ideal image of the perfect groom. Shoes in our groom’s case are Ferragamo’s. Heritage inspired, classy, and ideal touch to complite a refine style of the groom. In his case tuned with Italy and distinguished by the originality of design.
The Details
Food & Drink
The food was served by the catering of Villa Cipressi. It was a traditional and delicious Northern Italy dinner. Was served with Paccheri with pistachios and prawns pesto souse Garganelli with crunchy vegetables and pecorino cheese Sea bass stewed with shrimp Crunchy vegetables Sliced beef tenderloin with rosemary
Florals & Decor
The floral design is far from being sobre. Splashes of roses of all sizes, floral clouds on the ground along the aisle add the note of charm and echo the foam of goddess Venus (the arch which corresponds to fully grown shell, in accordance with tradition). What a lovely metaphor to symbolise the birth of a new family created by the garden of love. Their Lake Como wedding design and floral atelier provides wonderful flowers and bespoke experiences for fairy tale weddings and events in timeless italian style.
Wedding Cake
It was a traditional Italian cake made of layered pastry sheets, filled with the most delicate cream and various berries. The cake presentation was also a memorable part of the wedding. The bride and groom practically assembled it themselves. They added the cream, dusted the cake with sugar and berries, and laughed wholeheartedly. During the cake-cutting, stunning and festive cold sparklers were set off.
Special Detail #1
The wedding rings - an emblem of eternal love are unique and personalized, that perfectly symbolize love and commitment of the couple, reflecting their personalities and characters. His ring seems a promise to protect and embrace the bride in every single moment. Her ring is as delicate and charming as she is.
Special Detail #2
Italian fine art stationary lab “the lights factory” managed to translate the words of love and the personal story of the couple into a subtle stationary from the intimations, to the guest signs and even fans with intricate linking details and personalised approach.
Special Detail #3
The cake-cutting finale was truly spectacular. A champagne tower! Christina and Anthony poured bottles of exquisite Italian prosecco into the glasses and served them to their guests.
