valentina on Nov 8th 2009 Lake Orta Weddings
In summer 2008 I had the pleasure to meet Amy and Tom for the first time. She is a lovely Irish girl and he is a handsome English guy. Such a great couple! After visiting many venues across Northern Lakes area they reached Orta San Giulio and they fell in love with that immediately. Amy and Tom thought that Lake Orta incorporated the precise idea they had for an intimate and romantic wedding on the lake.
My first wedding of Summer Season 2009 was Amy and Tom’s: 3rd July 2009. Amy arrived some days before to settle in Orta and define some last details.
She spent some lovely days before the event, with her parents and family in a lovely villa on the lake that I often suggest to my couples. It is just in front of Ortello Gulf.
And finally the wedding day came!
Amy and her father took a nice walk from the lovely house on the shores to reach village church. Tom, flower girls, purple dressed bridesmaids and all guests were all waiting for her there. Lilac was the theme of whole wedding.
Amy choose this wonderful color for her main theme and Monika Andenmatten from La Piccola Selva created wonderful arrangements to accomplish her desires. She based her work on a color palette going from white to purple-lilac. Monika created wonderful church arrangements for the balusters and external columns of the church itself.
At the end of the ceremony… just a lovely kiss of bride and groom! Photographer Andrea Dapueto took a wonderful shot of it. Andrea Dapueto was the perfect reporter for such a wonderful event. Continue Reading »
virag on Jul 27th 2009 Lake Garda Weddings
Torri del Benaco is one of the most appreciated destination weddings of Lake Garda thanks to the romantic frame of the Castello Scaligero and the picturesque little port on the lake. In this fabulous scene that Mercedes and Eugene, a young English couple celebrated its wedding: from the team of Italian Lakes Wedding we were represented by the musicians of the Koinè String Quartet that ensured the perfect musical background of the event with their rich repertoire of classical music.
We show you here some pictures of this romantic wedding thanks to the images of the photographer GUIDO PELLATI, from the Pellati Photographic Studio of Bardolino.
The wedding of Mercedes and Eugene was celebrated in the shadow of the huge lemon plants of the Limonaia (Lemon Groves) of the Castello Scaligero, one of the last citrus fruit greenhouses still functioning on Lake Garda, since 1760.
Few days ago, we received a kind letter from Don and Jean, lovely parents of Mercedes, saying once again thanks to the team of Italian Lakes Wedding and the Koinè String Quartet for the great success of the event. Here you can read their kind words:
It hardly seems possible that two weeks have passed since we were with you in Italy – and we have so many wonderful memories of that special occasion! We wanted to place on record our sincere thanks to you and the musicians for providing such excellent support and for taking so much trouble to seek out and play the music we requested. It was, in fact, exactly as we had hoped – with the music setting the right atmosphere for each part of the ceremony. We could not have wished for a better service than the one you provided.
Our daughter, Mercedes and her husband, Eugene, join us in this expression of thanks – and we would be happy, of course, to recommend your musicians to any others who may be planning a similar event.
Best wishes.
Don and Jean Steele.
We would like to thank to Don and Jean from our side for their appreciation of our work, and that of the Koinè String Quartet, and we wish all the best and happiness again to the newly wed couple. Continue Reading »
