Love Blooms at Villa Regina Teodolinda on Lake Como
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.

Signature drinks included various spritz (Aperol (the bride’s favorite!), Hugo, and Americano) and Negronis. Wedding favors were engraved olive oil bottles (with the couple's names and wedding date) from Frantoio Muraglia.
The couple wished to keep the décor simple and clean to complement the natural, serene sitting of Villa Regina Teodolinda, which spoke for itself. Fiorigrapha made their vision come to life with two floral pillars at the altar and ground compositions lining the aisle of the ceremony area. For the reception area, tables were brought to life with Ivory candles and centerpieces consisting of garden roses, white gladioli, limelight hydrangea, and more.
The most memorable among the guests was the millefoglie wedding cake.
