For their magical wedding on the shores of Lake Como, Sandra and Jonathan, a Luxembourgish couple who adore Italy and especially Lake Como, chose to celebrate their union at the magnificent villa Aura del Lago, located not far from Bellagio, directly on the shores of Lake Como. Their wish was to create unforgettable memories for their loved ones, friends, and family in this splendid setting.

Surrounded by the natural beauty of Lake Como and the surrounding mountains, Sandra and Jonathan exchanged their vows in a breathtaking setting. The villa Aura del Lago, with its elegant architecture and lush gardens, provided a dream backdrop for their ceremony and wedding reception.

The guests, who arrived by boat, were greeted with elegance and led to the ceremony, which took place right on the shores of Lake Como, offering stunning views of the sparkling waters and majestic mountains. The emotion was so intense that they struggled to hold back their tears. Dried flower petals added a final touch to the ceremony, followed by an iconic kiss from the newlyweds.

After the ceremony, the guests were invited to the reception on the villa’s lakeside terrace, where they enjoyed a magical moment, surrounded by delicious Italian food and live music, with a saxophonist moving among the guests.

The Italian dinner then took place at beautiful round tables, creating an intimate and warm atmosphere, while a special table was reserved just for the bride and groom.

We created a pastel-colored decoration for our lovely couple, which was both elegant and sophisticated. Every detail was carefully considered to create a refined and romantic atmosphere. The beautiful flowers, meticulously arranged, added a touch of freshness and natural beauty. The two-tone candles provided a soft and warm glow for the evening, while the unique and personalized graphic design added a personal and distinctive touch to the entire event.

Sandra and Jonathan’s magical wedding on the shores of Lake Como was a truly unique celebration, marked by elegance, natural beauty, and love. Every detail, from the enchanting setting to the sophisticated decor, contributed to creating a magical and unforgettable day for the bride and groom and their guests.

Throughout the planning of this Lake Como wedding, from the initial discussions to the end of the event, I had the honor of accompanying Sandra and Jonathan with discretion and professionalism. My role was to ensure that every detail was perfect, allowing the newlyweds and their guests to fully enjoy this magical day.

Wedding in the Heart of the Vineyards

Un mariage au milieu des vignes piémontaises
Carmen and Yannick, our couple from Canada, made the journey of a lifetime to tie the knot amidst the Piedmontese vineyards, in an enchanting setting that embraces the region’s rich wine culture and culinary specialties.

Choosing the boutique hotel La Villa Hotel in Mombaruzzo for their nuptials, Carmen and Yannick opted for a luxurious and charming venue meticulously designed in every detail.

With the convenience of on-site accommodation for some guests, the couple and their loved ones enjoyed an extended weekend celebration, starting with a welcome dinner in the form of a “pizza party” and culminating in a poolside brunch the following day.

Following an emotionally charged ceremony with a panoramic view of the vineyards, guests were treated to a magnificent buffet of typically Italian appetizers. The colors and flavors perfectly complemented each other, tantalizing the taste buds. The dinner unfolded under the stars and vintage lights, followed by a lively celebration organized under a magnificent wooden and brick structure, featuring the cake cutting, luminous fountains, and a spirited party.

The wedding decor seamlessly blended with the chosen venue, incorporating rustic chairs, a wine-themed seating arrangement, and gourmet gifts for guests (artisanal regional spreads for the ladies and olive oil for the gentlemen).

Every detail was thoughtfully curated to bring an element of elegance, with gold accents from the couple’s invitations extending to a delicate centerpiece featuring a transparent candle.

PAULINE & ANTOINE, A COUPLE LIKE NO OTHER

Pauline and Antoine have been together for many years but wanted to make their love a reality. After getting married in a civil ceremony in Paris where they live, they wanted to bring together all their loved ones on the shores of Lake Maggiore for a big celebration. I often talk about the “Marriage Experience.” This expression takes on its full meaning here. Our couple truly offered their guests an experience that they will remember for a long time, they brought Sicily on the shores of Lake Maggiore for their mediterranean wedding.

THE WEDDING VENUE

Pauline and Antoine had arranged to meet their guests at the lakeside in Stresa where they took a boat for an extraordinary aperitif not far from the Borromean Islands, at sunset.

They then moved to Villa Claudia Dal Pozzo, in Belgirate, for which they had a real crush (and we understand them)!

Its magnificent terrace with a breathtaking view of the lake served as the scene for a romantic dinner which turned into an outdoor dance party on several occasions!

A RETURN TO THE ORIGINS

Antoine, being of Sicilian origin, wanted decoration with southern accents.

We therefore created a Mediterranean style table with details such as lemons which were the common thread of the entire decoration…

To bring the south back to Stresa, we also gave the bride and groom a surprise: our musician started playing the accordion between the tables. This created a unique atmosphere!

A FAIRYTALE WEDDING...

LAURA ANDA CLEMENT, A LONG-STANDING STORY

Laura and Clément fell in love when they were just teenagers… and never left each other! After the birth of their magnificent little daughter Capucine, our sparkling Swiss couple wanted to reunite their loved ones and finally formalize this long-standing union on the edge of one of the most romantic lakes in Italy.

THE WEDDING VENUE

Laura and Clément literally fell under the spell of the magnificent Castello Dal Pozzo wedding venue, a “resort” with a 5-star hotel part to accommodate guests with a “roof top” swimming pool as well as a part that can be privatized for weddings with a lake view from the terrace. This extraordinary place is located not far from Arona, south of Lake Maggiore, where we were able to take superb couple photos.
 

A MAGIC CEREMONY

It was in a vintage Fiat 500 that Laura arrived at the church accompanied by her dad.

Thanks to our follow-up for the religious wedding procedure and our French-speaking priest, Laura and Clément were able to have a beautiful Catholic ceremony in French in a breathtaking church in the center of Arona.

For the anecdote, it started to rain when we were leaving for the church and it rained throughout the ceremony. As soon as it ended, a beautiful sun came out which allowed our newlyweds to walk in the pretty town of Arona for a nice photographic shoot and the guests to be able to enjoy the exterior of the Castle.

THE WEDDING RECEPTION

After the ceremony, Laura and Clément’s guests were able to enjoy the terrace of the Castello Dal Pozzo while tasting a very generous typical Italian aperitif and enjoying the entertainment chosen by the newlyweds such as a photobooth or live music…

Dinner & party

The dinner took place in the magnificent Belle Epoque style Orangery of the Castello Dal Pozzo which allows for outdoor dining even in case of unpredictable weather.
Laura & Clément wanted a decoration that reflected their image, romantic and boho. With pink and white tones, pampas… A mix of high and low centerpieces gave dynamism and originality to the decoration!
 
Once dinner was over, the couple cut the cake in the “Central Sala” where they then danced until the end of the night.
 
A true fairytale wedding on the shores of Lake Maggiore for our two Swiss lovers!

THE FABULOUS WEDDING OF
HORTENSE & EMILIEN

FROM PARIS... TO COMO...

Hortense & Emilien, a young Parisian couple, fell in love with Como and its lake.
It is therefore naturally that they chose this magical place to say “yes” in front of their loved ones.
An elegant wedding, just like them.

THE WEDDING VENUE

Hortense and Emilien literally fell in love with one of the most Parisian villas on Lake Como, Villa Geno.
An exclusive place located in the city of Como.
Hortense, who looks like a French actress, got ready directly on site accompanied by her bridesmaids while Emilien got ready, all in simplicity, in a historic hotel in Como.
 
Emilien’s arrival at the ceremony in a typical Lake Como boat was “worthy of a James Blond” as he says himself, in front of the amazed eyes of all his guests!

A TIMELESS CEREMONY

Hortense & Emilien’s ceremony was emotionally charged, out of time. The waves of the lake added a musical background to the speeches of their loved ones. Their dream was to get married outdoors and despite a stormy weather, we made it happen.

THE RECEPTION

After the ceremony, Hortense and Emilien’s guests were able to enjoy the garden of Villa Geno while enjoying a very generous typical Italian aperitif and enjoying the entertainment chosen by the newlyweds such as the photobooth or live music…

LUXURY WEDDING BY LAKE MAGGIORE

AN AMAZING ENCOUNTER

I have always believed in fate. And once again he gave me a friendly wink.
Indeed, Caroline and Joris, a young French couple, were looking for a Wedding Planner in Italy for their luxury wedding on the shores of Lake Maggiore, a country they adore and are particularly fond of. Caroline finds my website, contacted me and talked about it to her work colleague Sandrine to ask her opinion. It turns out that Sandrine is a longtime friend! What an incredible coincidence. Then, a beautiful relationship of trust with Caroline and Joris was born quite naturally!

THE WEDDING VENUE

Caroline and Joris literally fell in love with one of the most beautiful and luxurious villas on Lake Maggiore, Villa Rusconi-Clerici in Verbania.
An exclusive place located directly on the lake with a breathtaking view…
Caroline got ready directly on site accompanied by her bridesmaids while Joris got ready for Stresa in a very relaxed atmosphere!

 

A CEREMONY, BETWEEN LAUGHTER AND TEARS

It was under a beautiful sun that Caroline and Joris united “symbolically” at the villa after going “officially” to the Mayor that same morning.

A magnificent ceremony rich in emotion and led with a masterful hand by our French-speaking celebrant.

The newlyweds were so hot that we served them Italian ice cream during the ceremony, an anecdote that relaxed an emotionally charged atmosphere!

THE WEDDING RECEPTION

After the ceremony, Caroline and Joris’ guests were able to enjoy the exceptional panorama on the shores of Lake Maggiore while enjoying a typical Italian aperitif and the entertainment chosen by the newlyweds such as a photobooth or a caricaturist…

DINNER & PARTY

The dinner took place in the magnificent greenhouse of the Villa, a bioclimatic greenhouse which remains cool even in summer. The newlyweds did their first dance there, a choreography worthy of “Dancing with the stars”!

Once dinner was over, the couple cut the cake by the lake under a shower of lights…

The dance party then took place partly at the Villa to end on a “party boat” until the early morning.

A real luxury wedding on the shores of Lake Maggiore for our two French newlyweds!

A "DOLCE VITA" ELOPEMENT ON LAKE ORTA

THE ENCOUNTER

Julie & Andrea contacted me for the first time in April 2020. They wanted to live their romantic “Dolce Vita” elopement by the most romantic lake in Italy, Lake Orta, a real crush for these lovers of Italy. Because of the pandemic as well as various family hardships, they decide to postpone their project, keeping it all the same in the back of their minds.
This is how at the beginning of 2021, our magnificent Franco-Italian couple contacted me and trusted me again to organize their romantic elopement at the start only the two of them…
Always Lake Orta, always love in the background but they decided to add their loved ones (not to mention their little dog Enzo!)… happy to live this special moment all together especially after difficult months that we all know!  

A CEREMONY RICH IN EMOTIONS

It was under a blazing sun that Julie and Andrea said “I do” civilly to the Town Hall of Orta San Giulio, a pretty town hall located directly on the shores of Lake Orta.

Andrea arrived by a vintage Vespa while Julie by boat directly from the pontoon of the “Municipio”.

Do you find civil ceremonies boring and formal?

It was without counting on the relatives of our two lovers who knew how to personalize it and give it emotion! After this anxiety period due to the pandemic, it was a real breath of fresh air! Tears of joy flowed but also lots of laughter!

After the ceremony, the couple and their guests threw balloons with their vows hanging from them.

Then they all embarked on a tour of Lake Orta on a typical “motoscafo” and toasted our newlyweds. They also did some group photos on Isola San Giulio. A beautiful memory for Julie and Andrea.

Dolce Vita Wedding Lake Orta

THE ROMANTIC MOMENT

After the boat tour, the guests were able to rest for a while while Julie and Andrea got on their Vespa for a “Dolce Vita” style couple shoot. An intimate moment in which our beautiful lovers were able to enjoy their new status as husband and wife.

THE CELEBRATIONS

At sunset, the guests were invited to an aperitif on the shores of Lake Orta where they were able to enjoy Spritz in good company. After that, they enjoyed a private terrace with a view of San Giulio Island where they tasted a gastronomic menu while enjoying the Jazzy music of our duo.

Inspiration Shooting at Villa Bonola Lake Orta

INSPIRATION SHOOTING AT VILLA BONOLA LAKE ORTA

THE VILLA

Villa Bonola is a period villa from the late 1700s that stands on the shores of the most romantic lake in Italy, Lake Orta. Villa Bonola enjoys splendid indoor and outdoor spaces with a lake view. The owner has recently renovated the entire villa down to the smallest detail to restore all the beauty of the past years and make it a place for classy and intimate weddings and certainly for “destination weddings”.
 
The shooting project was conceived with the aim of highlighting all the beauty of its past and making it an enchanting place for weddings on the shores of Lake Orta.

PROJECT & "ITALIAN STYLE"

For this Inspiration Shooting at Villa Bonola Lake Orta with Tiziana Gallo we studied a shot with the desire to highlight Italian details such as, for example, a vintage Fiat 500, the ice cream cart, the spaghetti’s alla “Dolce Vita”, the corner of olive oil…

COLORS & "BOHO-MINIMAL" STYLE

As colors we have chosen white, light blue (sugar paper) and terracotta.

These colors are reminiscent of Italy, the lake, the land… the regions we have in common with Tiziana, Piedmont and Puglia where we both have our origins (exactly from the same city, what a coincidence!).

For the decoration we used natural materials as much as possible: terracotta for the vases, pampas herbs, wooden Thonet chairs… The desire was to remain at the same time in a “boho” and “minimal” style both in the setting of the table and in the dress or shoes of Maura Brandino, a very famous Atelier in Torino where you can realize your tailor-made wedding dress.

Even the suit of our groom model, also from Maura Brandino’s Atelier, has been tailored. The trousers are high-waisted and the jacket is double-breasted, representing the natural elegance of Italian men. The color of the suit, which fits perfectly with our mood, represents the typical color of Turin’s buildings.

To stay in a trendy, romantic but always very elegant shooting, we have studied the set-up down to the smallest detail: the Venice Light Blu chargers by Tablesetrentals perfectly match with the Almonds dishes in boho and natural style. The rose gold cutlery is there to add a touch of elegance.

As for the flowers, in addition to dried flowers and pampas herbs we also used lisianthus and magnificent white peonies.

The models were also not chosen at random. He, a typical “latin lover”, with a spontaneous and natural elegance. She, a beautiful blonde from the Nordic countries.

Thanks to my talented providers without whom this shoot would not have been the same:

Romantic wedding on lake Como

Christiane and Guillaume, our French couple who live in Germany, chose Villa Aura del Lago for their fairytale wedding on the shores of Lake Como. A wonderful day full of emotions thanks to their loved ones and their adorable little girl Constance.

The preparation

I really like it when brides wish to give a nod to their origins… This is what our beautiful bride Christiane and her bridesmaids did, who got ready with elegant Vietnamese silk kimonos.

On the side of our groom Guillaume and his groomsmen, the atmosphere was much more masculine with a game of pool!

Who knows if Guillaume won?

The ceremony & the reception

During the preparations of our two lovers, the guests were welcomed by the pool with a welcome drink in order to refresh themselves and wait for the moment of the ceremony.

The ceremony took place at the end of the afternoon under a beautiful August sun, directly on the shores of Lake Como.

It was a completely personalized ceremony and therefore very rich in emotions.

After the ceremony, the aperitif and dinner were served outside with the magnificent panorama of Lake Como still in the background.

INDIAN WEDDING ON LAKE COMO

I just love Indian weddings. 

Their colors, their joie de vivre, all these ceremonies that make this magnificent culture special. I had the chance to collaborate with Heema from Travel Indulgence in London to realize Vaishali & Milesh’s dream on the shore of Lake Como. A day full of emotions!

FROM THE MORNING... TO THE NIGHT!

Indian weddings are different from our European culture. The Indian Wedding on Lake Como of our two beautiful newlyweds Vaishali & Milesh took place in two stages. In the morning, we made the outdoor Hindu religious ceremony followed by a vegetarian light lunch.

Our beautiful bride Vaishali got up early for her preparation!

In the evening, it was the gala evening. As soon as they arrived, the couple cut their wedding cake and then did their first dance. We had the pleasure to see a magnificent Bollywood type dance demonstrations. Then the “more classical” party could begin!

The guests were able to enjoy a typical Italian aperitif in the garden of the villa with a view of Lake Como. Then, the dinner took place under the structure still outdoors. The speeches were very emotional as you can see on the video. The party was then launched inside until the end of the night.

A day Vaishali & Milesh will remember for the rest of their lives.
