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.

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:

I hope you like this inspiration shooting! Contact me!

Indian Wedding on Lake Como

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.

A WINTER WEDDING IN STRESA

Thanks to the mild climate of Lake Maggiore, it is quite possible to organize a winter wedding in Stresa. This is the bet made by our spouses Alessandra & Roberto who wanted to get married after so many years and two beautiful children. A February day under the sign of a beautiful sun, romantic and soft…

A BEAUTIFUL ENCOUNTER

When they contacted me, two months before, I had a very good feeling with this magnificent couple. Being both very busy with their respective activities between Geneva, Alessandria and Vercelli, they needed help to organize this day. Despite the fact that I was 9 months pregnant on the date of the wedding, I embarked on this beautiful challenge.

A RETURN TO ORIGINS

Villa Frua in Stresa was an obvious choice of wedding venue, its warm internal rooms lending themselves perfectly to the event. Alessandra being from Gignese, a small village above Stresa, the couple chose to celebrate there the religious ceremony. In order to remember the grandmother of our bride, Jewish music was played by our organist accompanied by our talented violinist. That was very emotional!

THE WEDDING DAY

After the mass, the festivities therefore all took place at Villa Frua. Thanks to our trusted caterer, guests were greeted with a warm welcome drink, especially appreciated in this season. Alessandra and Roberto had chosen French music for the musical background of the reception in order to give a retro and elegant touch to their big day.

DECCORATION AND COLORS

The wedding palette is sage green and white, elegant and natural colors. Alessandra and Roberto wanted a simple, elegant atmosphere with wintry touches and light.

If you also want a winter wedding in Stresa, feel free to contact me!

We are proud to say that this wedding has been published on Wedding Wonderland!

Elegance and Love on Lake Maggiore …

When Sabina contacted us the first time, we immediately understood what kind of marriage she wanted: an elegant wedding where simplicity and emotion would be the main protagonists. Challenge met!

So… take an amazing couple, a beautiful day in July, the exceptional setting of Lake Maggiore… mix everything and you will get a dream wedding, filled with love and emotions: the big day of Sabina and Benjamin (or Sabi and Ben for the intimate ones).

The preparation of the couple took place in the beautiful and intimate Villa Volpi (Ghiffa, Verbania), villa whose our couple fell in love at first sight.

The symbolic and civil ceremony (yes, yes it exists!) Took place at the water’s edge at Villa Giulia. Fortunately, the guests had handkerchiefs at their disposal because the emotion was intense!

Finally, return to Villa Volpi for the festivities… with a surprise prepared by the mother of Sabina (with the complicity of our Wedding Planner): a tenor came to sing opera songs during dinner (chills guaranteed!) and a firework at the moment of the wedding cake…

Baroque wedding on Lake Orta

Our newlyweds Elodie and Jeremie are very private people, they do not want their faces to appear and we respect their choice. However, we wanted to show you the decoration of their amazing baroque wedding ..

A wonderful decoration thanks to the tastes of our Swiss spouses but also thanks to the know-how of our Wedding Planner.

The colors chosen were white and green raised by a beautiful golden. All this on an ancient and baroque theme that blends perfectly with the panorama of Lake Orta.

The preparation of the couple took place in a suite of Villa Crespi, the official civil ceremony in the garden of Villa Bossi and the reception at Villa Decio.

FROM RUSSIA TO SWIZERLAND AND THEN TO ORTA SAN GIULIO….

Adeliya and Matteo live in Swizerland, Adeliya is Russian, Matteo Italian. So they chose Lake Orta as the panorama for their big day. They contacted us to arrange their wedding ceremony, but not just any ceremony. They wanted a special ceremony, something exiting that would totally represent them.

Adeliya, such an elegant bride, knew just what she wanted for this day: Bohemian Chic style with some very out of the ordinary flowers.

So, far from the crowds, in the private gardens of the Palazzo Umbertini, in total privacy, Adeliya and Matteo said “yes” in the prescence of their loved ones.

They continued with dinner and the celebration party at the Hotel Ristorante Leon d’Oro.
