We reached end of September and our wedding season on Lake Orta is ended too.
It was surely a great final with the weddings we had over the week end.
We’ve just finished and we are looking forward to start the 2012 season again!
For this last week end we start from Niamh and Stephan, Irish bride and French groom who got married in the magic gardens of Villa Bossi.
Wonderful weather and lovely three bridesmaids.
Three other bridesmaids were present to Francesca and Jose’s wedding. Italian bride and Spanish groom.
The ceremony was held in the wonderful church of Assunta in the village of Orta with a lovely reception to Villa Ortea.
Last but not least Isabella and Mario both Italian who choose Villa Bossi for their civil ceremony and a lovely lunch to Restaurant on St Julius Island.
In the picture above you can see the lovely Isabella’s bracelet bouquet that Monika from La Piccola Selva created for her.
For Lake Orta and all of us working for weddings over this wonderful place September was a very busy period!
We apologize with our readers if we “forgot” somehow some of the wonderful events we had in the magic end of this season.
We want to remember here Louise and Robert, Piera and Davis, Dora and Andrea, Julia and James, Anna and Joachim, Holly e James, Laura and Craig, Lucy and Mike, Liz and Paul, Sonya and Gareth, Sofia and Henrik, Elizabeth and Reidar and Lorna and Alex.
Unfortunately we did not have enough time to speak about all of them but do not worry we will come back to speak about many of these events, it is a promise!

To match amazing rooms of the villa Elisa opted for white and green, very elegant and charming.

A vintage Fiat 500 was again one of the main character of a wedding on Lake Orta.
This is a special one…it has also a name Gigetta. Gigetta was the special surprise Natacha our bride wanted to give to Francesco just outside the church after the ceremony.
Natacha and Francesco reached Lake Orta from Switzerland.
They opted for a religious ceremony in the church of Maria Assunta in Orta village that was really moving. The reception party was held in Castello di Miasino on the hills above Lake Orta.
Have a look to Natacha’s bouquet.
This is an evergreen a round shaped one with all Vendela roses, classic but always wonderful!

Villa Bossi is always one of the most wanted venues for civil ceremonies!
Bride arriving by boat on the calm waters of Lake Orta, the blooming aisle and the ceremony under the wonderful columns of the villa have a certain appeal that also Viviana and Alessandro loved!
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!

The church of San Remigio is located on top of Castagnola the cape above Pallanza.
It is part of the wonderful gardens of Villa San Remigio – civil ceremonies venue for many of our weddings.
It is a wonderful pretty church, very romantic, in the nature and built on a rock.
The back of the church overlooks Lake Maggiore.
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.

Today we would like to show you the very first pictures of Donna and Mark’s wedding on Madonna del Sasso.
The church of Madonna del Sasso is very famous for the extraordinary view that you can enjoy from the courtyard in front of the church itself.
The bride and groom choose a symbolic blessing outdoor just on the edge of the rock of Madonna del Sasso with a stunning and romantic view on all Lake Orta and St. Julius Island.
A lovely, moving and sweet ceremony conducted by our celebrant Giuseppe.
Have a look to the vintage car Donna and Mark used to reach Madonna del Sasso. It is a vintage Lancia Appia of the 60s.
A charming touch was also the bridal bouquet with pink peonies, white roses and a delicate touch of blue (something blue just as the tradition!) of lavander and hydrangeas.
A special thank to Enrico Mocci photographer who released the pictures for Donna and Mark’s wedding in a very short time! We will come back soon talking again about this romantic American couple who choose the amazing panormas of Lake Orta for their intimate Italian wedding!
