For their civil ceremony red was the theme color. This was used for the bridesmaids dresses and floral arrangements and especially on Elisa’s bouquet. This was made only with red GRANDE AMORE roses in a round and tight shape.

The reception was held in wonderful Villa Pestalozza in Miasino, on the hills above lake Orta.
To match amazing rooms of the villa Elisa opted for white and green, very elegant and charming.

We will come back soon talking about Elisa and Alessandro’s wedding as soon as official images of the event will be available.

Viviana and Alessandro’s color scheme matched elegant bride’s wedding dress.
It was in all the shades of lilac, pink and white.
A dream!

Floral arrangements for Villa Bossi took inspiration from these shades just like Viviana’s bouquet and centerpieces for the wedding reception.
It was arranged to the evocative terrace of the Restaurant on St. Julius Island.

Congratulations Viviana and Alessandro!

This morning Ilaria and Giovanni got married here.
For their floral arrangement in the church bride and groom asked us pink and white peonies with Avalanche roses and Dendrobium Orchids.
In this pictures you can see a detail of the long arrangement placed on the altar of the church.

Ilaria and Giovanni’s reception was held in Sala Toscanini of Grand Hotel Majestic where bride and groom had a wonderful wedding lunch with their friends and relatives.
For this occasion we created big rounded centerpieces with lilac and scentful Freesias, Avalanche roses and pink Gypsophila.

Our best wishes to Ilaria and Giovanni for a lot of happiness from all of us at Italian Lakes Wedding.

Marina arrived on a legendary vintage Fiat 500 a real symbol of Italian 60s.
Carlo was waiting for her just in front of the church.

Bride and Groom chose as color theme white and orange. It was used for the decorations of the church and for bridal bouquet.
Marina opted for white Calla Lily, Vendela cream roses and orange Gerberas.

This is the same color scheme that they wanted for their reception to Villa Crespi. This time Marina wanted to add some Alstroemeria golden yellow which matched perfectly the wonderful stuccoes of this amazing venue on Lake Orta.

As usual our best wishes to this lovely couple for a wonderful and happy life together!

The very first couple this year to have their wedding on Sacro Monte of Orta is Gaia and Massimo who got married here the late afternoon, just above Lake Orta.

Bride arrived on a legendary Rolls Royce Silver Shadow of 1957.
Her bouquet was really unique made up with Dendrobium Orchids, Hydrangeas, Bowardias and blue Cornflowers.
The church was really full of white peonies, Dendrobium orchids and blue hydrangeas just a dream!

Gaia and Massimo’s big day was celebrated with a lovely party to Villa Crespi.
A lovely aperitif in the garden and a delicious 2 Michelin stars dinner in the the amazing rooms of this very famous venue on Lake Orta.

We will come back soon talking about Gaia and Massimo’s wedding as soon as the official photos of the event will be available.
All the Team whishes lot of happiness and joy to this newly weds: Gaia and Massimo!

As floral designer I met Siobhan and Stuart through Valentina, our wedding coordinator specialized on weddings on Lake Orta and Lake Maggiore.
I leave to her introducion this lovely couple:

Shiobhan and Stuart are a nice couple coming from Scotland.
I never met them before they came here for their wedding. We planned all details via email and our collaboration started more than one year ago!
Sibhoan is a wonderful and sweet person. She faced every step of the planning with a deep joy and enthusiasm and it was a pleasure and honor for me helping her and her groom to make their dream come true.

They decided for an intimate wedding on Lake Orta because they wanted to share the perfect atmosphere of this quaint corner of Italy only with their close friends and family. They spent some days in Orta taking also the occasion to enjoy the lake in a special period of the year: Early Spring.
This moment is special here, flowers and plans and blooming and the tourists are still few.
A perfect choice!

From the floral point of view Siobhan and Stuart’s wedding was really unusual, they chose a theme based on pink and yellow.

For the bride and grooms who wish to celebrate their wedding outdoors in a garden or by the lake shores a colorful palette of pink and yellow could be a trendy solution! It can be dynamic and out of classical choices making the atmosphere warmer colorful and charming!

Yellow is a joyful, energic color which brings optimims light and transparency.
On the other side Pink is very feminine and fine, it recalls elegance, class, refinement, sensuality and seduction.
The final effect is absolutely gorgeous and unique just as for Siobhan and Stuart’s wedding.

Every floral arrangement Siobhan and Stuart chose recalled pink and yellow. Villa Bossi columns arrangements, flowers on the table of ceremony, petals on the aisle and centerpieces for reception to Hotel San Rocco.

In order to create this lovely scheme we opted for Aqua roses in a deep pink shade and some yellow gerberas with a delicate touch of Alchemilla.

To match light yellow bridesmaid dress we opted for little bouquet of Aqua roses that in its semplicity gave a natural and smooth appeal to all.

Have a look to Siobhan’s arm sheaf bouquet. We realized it in the same shades of the entire event!
The arm sheaf bouquet is more or less like a bunch of flowers created to be carried on an arm, just like a baby.

Let’s not forget about the Royal table arrangement in Rotary room of San Rocco Hotel.
We realized it with little candles, roses and floral arrangements in different shapes and dimensions to give a dynamic and joyful aspect just like Siobhan and Stuart wanted.

If you would like to give a special and different touch to your wedding being far from usual schemes then a pink and yellow themed floral arrangement could be a great idea!
The colors need to be matched with taste and elegance to create smooth and charming arrangements!

As flower designer I think that a theme matching sensual pink and lightful yellow could be the perfect choice for a joyful happy and bright wedding!
After all it is just like this a wedding should be! Fun joy and a wonderful sweet party!

Roberta and Omar’s was a great wedding. Their guests will remember it for a long time!
Bride and Groom were really friendly, organization was perfect and they had an incredibly warm day. Temperature reached 32 degrees, so unusual to be beginning of April!

Roberta and Omar got married this morning. Sky was blue and the view from Madonna del Sasso church was simply spectacular! As we mentioned in other posts Madonna del Sasso church is a gem and it is well known to be on a rock overlooking the entire lake and its valley!

Roberta chose white as her theme color.
She opted for big Lilium Longiflorum (Easter Lily) in the church and a sweet ivory roses bouquet.

Vendela ivory roses for the centerpieces in glass cubes with some little lilac stones. These matched perfectly the atmosphere of Villa Ortea the reception venue Roberta and Omar chose for their party!

We will come back telling about Roberta and Omar’s wedding as soon as we will receive official shots of the event.
Our congratulations for lot of happiness to Roberta and Omar!

Our readers will surely remember that last year we opened the season with Elisa and Tobia’s Just Married post in Madonna del Sasso church on Lake Orta.

Such an incredible coincidence!
Today’s Just Married opens with another wedding at Madonna del Sasso church: Cristina and Renzo’s one!
After wonderful season we had last year we hope that this lovely coincidence could be good luck for our bride and grooms and professionals working with us on our lakes.

Cristina and Renzo got married this late morning.
We can tell you about this thanks to Piero Gatti photographer from Studio Foto Smile in Baveno. He gave us the pictures of this wonderful event!
We’ve already spoken about Piero Gatti. He works in Stresa and on Lake Maggiore but today he reached Orta with great results as you can see!!

Cristina and Renzo come from Milan and they simply love Lake Orta.
This is the reason they decided to get married in one of the most stunning churches of this lake: Madonna del Sasso church.

Madonna del Sasso is not just a wonderful church with stunning pieces of arts inside but it also has a breathtaking view on all Lake Orta.

Cristina choose for her bouquet her favorite flowers: white tulip!
As she wanted we created for her a round shaped bouquet which matched her dress. Many tulips with little mixed leaves of Pittosporum and little flowers of Selaginella.

Congratulations to Cristina and Renzo and best wishes for a lot of happiness from all our team!

It is not the first time that a couple chose Lake Orta for an intimate and romantic wedding for two. Valentina will post soon a brand new article on this and the wedding for two she planned on Lake Orta.

Josh and Bronwen are a young couple coming from Australia.
They come from very green Tasmania, South Australia and Melbourne. Tasmania is also famous to be Tasmanian Davil’s home country, a little funny animal of Warner Bros Looney Tunes cartoons.
Melbourne and Victoria State from Great Ocean Road to Yarra Valley one of the greats vines areas of Australia.

Last spring Josh and Bronwen decided for a long vacation in Europe a destination of this journey was a special one: wedding destination!
Josh and Bronwen looked for an intimate and special place so this was the reason for Lake Orta. On the day of the wedding a light shower and a little bit of haze on the lake created an even more magic and enchanting atmosphere on the lake.

The bouquet I created for Bronwen was also dreamy and romantic: a pink peonies bouquet just like she dreamt!

Peonies are elegant and precious flowers and most of all they are Bronwen’s favorites!
Peonies have light pastel colors like white and pink and they are just light and rich. They are often used in many cultures for ceremonies even if it was forgotten for a while during the 70s and 80s to come back on fashion in these last few years. Now peonies are among most wanted flowers for weddings, just like roses.
Peonies are spring flowers, it can be available all year but perfume wont’ be the same and most of all they won’t last that much.
There is nothing like a peony in spring!

The event was planned by Valentina Lombardi and followed by Photo27.com.
We would like to thank them for their wonderful photos of Josh and Bronwen on their lovely day on Lake Orta we could publish on this post.
