Design / Vibe / Vision

This wedding embodied timeless elegance with a modern romantic twist, featuring thoughtfully curated details that created an intimate, garden-inspired celebration. The design seamlessly blended classic elements with fresh, contemporary touches - from the sophisticated seating chart display using a vintage-style bookshelf adorned with delicate vines to the refined reception space where white chiavari chairs and crisp linens met organic floral arrangements. The overall aesthetic maintained an air of understated luxury while feeling warm and inviting. The attention to detail was evident in every element, from the intricate lace of the bride's gown to the carefully styled tablescapes featuring layered place settings with sage napkins and elegant glassware. Romantic lighting and abundant white florals created an ethereal atmosphere, while architectural details of the venue provided a stunning backdrop that enhanced the sophisticated yet welcoming ambiance. The vision prioritized creating an environment that felt both elevated and intimate, where classic wedding traditions were interpreted with a fresh, contemporary perspective while maintaining the timeless elegance that never goes out of style.

The Fashion
Wedding Gown

This exquisite wedding gown embodies timeless elegance with its intricate geometric lace patterns that cascade from shoulder to hem. The form-fitting silhouette gracefully follows the bride's shape before subtly flaring at the bottom, creating a stunning visual flow. The dress features sophisticated long sleeves and a high neckline, while the all-over lace detailing showcases exceptional craftsmanship with its detailed motifs. A statement cathedral-length veil with delicate lace trim complements the gown perfectly, adding an extra layer of romance and grandeur to this classic yet contemporary bridal look. The combination of traditional elements with modern styling creates a gown that feels both timeless and fresh, photographed beautifully against the historic architectural setting.

The Details
Food & Drink
The culinary experience celebrated the finest flavors of Italian Mediterranean cuisine, centering on exquisitely prepared fresh seafood. The menu embodied coastal elegance, featuring delicate fish preparations that highlighted the natural flavors of the Mediterranean. Drawing inspiration from Italy's seaside traditions, each dish showcased the perfect marriage of simplicity and sophistication that defines Italian coastal dining. The freshness of the sea was complemented by seasonal ingredients and classic Mediterranean accompaniments, creating an elevated yet authentic dining experience that transported guests to the Italian Riviera. The wedding celebration featured an exquisite wine selection highlighting Matina and Mantonico, two distinguished varieties native to Calabria, Italy. These rare and prestigious wines offered guests a genuine taste of the region's rich viticultural heritage. The Mantonico, an ancient grape variety known for its elegant complexity and golden hue, provided a sophisticated complement to the Mediterranean seafood menu, while the Matina added another layer of local authenticity to the dining experience. This thoughtfully curated wine selection showcased the couple's appreciation for regional Italian wine traditions and their attention to creating an elevated culinary experience.
Florals & Decor

The wedding's floral design masterfully balanced timeless elegance with organic romance, featuring a sophisticated white and green color palette throughout. Towering gold stands adorned the church entrance, crowned with lush arrangements of white hydrangeas, roses, and cascading greenery, while classic white lanterns lined the aisle. The reception space was transformed by dramatic elevated centerpieces on golden pedestals, creating an ethereal garden atmosphere. The sweetheart table showcased an artfully crafted cascade of cream roses and silver dollar eucalyptus that draped elegantly over crisp white linens. A creative seating chart display married form and function, featuring a white lattice structure adorned with delicate bud vases, each holding a single rose tied with blush ribbon, interwoven with climbing ivy. The overall design achieved a perfect harmony between classic Italian architecture and fresh, garden-inspired elements, creating an atmosphere of refined romance that felt both grand and intimately welcoming.

Wedding Cake

The elegant three-tiered wedding cake by Turassina perfectly embodied the wedding's refined aesthetic. Each tier featured a romantic, textured buttercream finish with organic, wave-like patterns that created a sense of movement and artistry. Fresh white garden roses and eucalyptus were thoughtfully placed between the tiers, echoing the wedding's overall floral design. The cake was beautifully displayed under a canopy of cascading white wisteria and twinkling lights, creating an enchanting garden atmosphere. The clean white-on-white design with touches of fresh greenery struck the perfect balance between timeless elegance and modern sophistication, while the artisanal texturing technique demonstrated exceptional craftsmanship that elevated this classic confection into a true centerpiece of the celebration.
