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.

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.

A winter wedding in Stresa

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.

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

A French Wedding on Lake Maggiore

A French wedding on Lake Maggiore

Venue: Villa Rocchetta | Photographer: Enrico Mocci

Our beautiful French couple, Choé & Guillaume love the lakes area and Italy.

It is really a family story, as Chloé’s parents had already married a few years earlier in Orta San Giulio, on Lake Orta.

Choé & Guillaume wanted a romantic venue directly on the lake and so they chose the beautiful Villa Rocchetta in Ispra, on the Lombard shore of Lake Maggiore.

The ceremony of our French wedding on Lake Maggiore, overlooking the lake, was very emotional with the American gospel. The aperitif was organized in the beautiful park but, due to a trick of the weather (yes we are talking about improvised hail!) we had to move it inside quickly! The reactivity of our trusted catering was decisive in this situation!

So the guests were able to enjoy the party even with plan B. In fact, Chloé’s message after the wedding told us that all the guests were enchanted by their wedding.

Dinner was planned inside the dining room, with a veranda overlooking the lake, while after dinner on the ground floor, in the ancient rooms of the Villa that overlook the outside.

If you want a romantic wedding on Lake Maggiore, don’t hesitate to contact me!

A “COUNTRY” WEDDING IN THE NATURE

Srecko and Alenka, our couple of Slovenian origin,  live in France sice many years. They were therefore looking for a wedding venue halfway between Slovenia and Lyon in order to reunite their families and friends.

I received their request a few months before the wedding. A real challenge!

This is how they chose the Borgo San Cristoforo. This domain immersed in nature allowed them to live their dream.

Srecko and Alenka not only wanted to say “I do” in front of their loved ones but also to offer them an amazing experience. In fact, we organized for them over several days: excursions, guided tours, Ferrari ride, surprise birthday of one of the children of the family… And even Alenka’s religious baptism the day before the wedding!

All this with a lot of love and emotions!

ROMANTIC WEDDING ON LAKE ORTA

Sara and Philipp have a holiday home on Lake Orta. It is therefore natural that they chose this place dear to their hearts for their big day.

They offered their guests a dream day…

First of all, the Protestant religious ceremony, full of emotions, took place in the gardens of Palazzo Penotti-Ubertini, a historic building in the center of Orta San Giulio.

The oppressive heat of this day did not lose the smile for our lovers and their guests !

We then organized a boat trip on the lake with refreshments and Prosecco on board. The wedding reception took place directly in the private villa of the spouses…

Symbolic Wedding Ceremony in Italy

WEDDING SYMBOLIC CEREMONY

Perhaps you wonder what a symbolic marriage is and how to organize your Symbolic Wedding Ceremony in Italy?

Many newlyweds are now asking themselves the same question!

Here are some answers…

Why choosing a Symbolic Wedding Ceremony?

The first question is: why the couples choose a symbolic ceremony? The reasons are varied according to the couple.

1- THE FACILITY

Often this option is considered when marriage abroad seems too complicated to organize. Do not you want documents or worry about civil or religious procedures? The symbolic ceremony is the ideal solution.

2- FREEDOM

Another of the reasons mentioned mainly by couples is the freedom that allows in particular in the place that will host the wedding: a beach, a private garden or even an unusual place. Often outdoors, something that traditional Catholic religious marriage for example does not allow.

3- CUSTOMIZATION OF THE CEREMONY

One of the highlights of the symbolic ceremony is the customization of the marriage. The couple will choose the texts, the readings, the poems, the music, they will talk about themselves and their loved ones. No ready stories or cold and impersonal ceremonies. The spouses will be the center of the attention. Tears of joy could come, get your tissues ready!

It’s YOUR ceremony, so you decide! You will be able to choose the moments you want and at the right time. Have you always dreamed of a short and happy ceremony? Or on the contrary, a long and emotional ceremony? You choose. But… be careful not to fall into the ridiculous!

WHAT ARE THE RULES OF A SYMBOLIC WEDDING CEREMONY?

The only rule is that there is no rule!

However some tips can be given for a successful and memorable ceremony:

  • As a religious ceremony, create special moments with customized texts read by witnesses or people close to the spouses
  • Organize moments of music to take some breaks
  • Avoid a ceremony too short (which could leave guests disappointed) or, on the contrary, too long (and that could become boring)
  • Do not choose the random celebrant … And yes, often the couple gives this responsibility to a family member. But beware, this is not an easy task! The success of the ceremony is largely based on the celebrant’s shoulders. Everyone can not speak well in front of an audience! For this reason, we advise you to call an external celebrant and professional who will be able to conduct the ceremony.

THE POSSIBLE RITES YOU MAY ADD TO YOUR SYMBOLIC WEDDING CEREMONY:

Within the ceremony you can enter one or more rites, according to your wishes! For example:

  • The exchange of the rings: almost obligatory, this passage is the symbol of eternal love, connection, infinity, strength, fidelity
  • The reading of the votes: the newlyweds make promises, proof of their mutual commitment in front of their witnesses and their relatives
  • The ritual of the sand: symbolizes the newlyweds who will become only one…
  • The wine’s ritual: the newlyweds seal their wishes in a box containing a bottle of fine wine. In case of difficult steps within the couple, they can open it and read again their commitments, remember why they are together. On the contrary, if everything goes well, they will be able to open the bottle and celebrate their wedding anniversary with dignity! (ideal rite for those who like good things in life)

A ROMANTIC AND ORIGINAL WEDDING ON LAKE ORTA…

Jennifer and David, our young French couple has chosen Lake Orta to say “yes” in front of their loved ones… An original, customized and above all romantic ceremony… Tears of joy were present!

Our two spouses, already parents of a small Tissia, did not want the classic wedding ceremony! For them, everything has been studied to the smallest details: the theme of marriage, colors, flowers, accessories… they wanted a romantic and original wedding on lake Orta !

They wanted this day to leave an indelible mark on their eyes and in the eyes of their loved ones.

They married civilly in total privacy in France and decided to organize a symbolic ceremony on the shores of the most romantic lake in Italy, directly on the terrace of Villa Ortea, where the celebrations continued.

A beautiful day full of emotions (even our Wedding Planner has shed a tear!)…

Elegance and Love on Lake Maggiore

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…
