Love Blooms at Villa Regina Teodolinda on Lake Como

The Planning
Design / Vibe / Vision

Design: The color palette consisted of soft romantic hues like sage green and ivory that complemented the charming outdoor space and garden of Villa Regina Teodolinda with a cozy indoor area for the reception and dance party. Custom watercolor name cards (Sam Allen creates, Etsy) were a special touch for guests that many took home. Vibe: A relaxed, intimate feel. A string duo was a unique and memorable touch for guests during the welcome drink, ceremony, and aperitivo. After dinner was enjoyed overlooking Lake Como, the dance floor was filled thanks to the DJ from Blunotte Eventi. Vision: The couple wished to create a beautiful, heartfelt day that reflected their story and love for each other while ensuring guests felt cherished and included.
