			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> I&#8217;ve already told you some months ago about the wonderful <a href="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/lake-maggiore-weddings/discovering-historical-hotels-on-lake-maggiore/">hotels on Lake Maggiore</a>. These are ideal venues for an elegant wedding on these magic shores.<br />
<strong>Chris and Suzanne</strong> choose <a href="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/bridalservices/italian-restaurant-for-weddings.php?ORDERID=75">Grand Hotel Majestic</a> for they big day.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Hotel-Majestic-Wedding.jpg" alt="Grand-Hotel-Majestic-Wedding" width="575" height="383" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1591" /></p>
<p>They came here with relatives and friends from <strong>United Kingdom</strong> to celebrate a wonderful event that was studied in every single detail.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Crystals-Themed-Wedding-in-Italy.jpg" alt="Crystals-Themed-Wedding-in-Italy" width="575" height="383" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1592" /></p>
<p>Suzanne choose a theme inspired on <strong>lilac and café au lait</strong> enriched by many little crystals.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Lilac-Bridesmaids-Flower-Girl.jpg" alt="Lilac-Bridesmaids-Flower-Girl" width="640" height="480" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1593" /></p>
<p>Suzanne designed personally Bridesmaids and flower girl dresses just thinking about these details.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Hotel-Majestic-Flowers-Arrangements.jpg" alt="Hotel-Majestic-Flowers-Arrangements" width="575" height="383" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1594" /></p>
<p>Flower arrangement Suzanne wanted was very detailed.<br />
All arrangements were created by <strong>Manuela</strong> one of the floral designer who work in close collaboration with <a href="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/bridalservices/weddingflorist.php?ORDERID=11">La Piccola Selva</a>. Basing on the theme Suzanne wanted, Manuela created a rich vintage arrangement.<br />
She used Freesias blooms and Aqua Girl roses for lilac, and Cofee Break rose for cafe au lait shades. Purple was made with wide Trachelium and classic Vendela roses and Stephanotis made the white accent.<br />
Little fabric Stephanotis were on all wedding stationery Suzanne and Chris had on their tables: invitations, names card, table chart and trivia boxes.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Florist-Hotel-Majestic-Verbania.jpg" alt="Florist-Hotel-Majestic-Verbania" width="575" height="383" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1595" /></p>
<p>Crystals were on the tables to match Kartell chairs rented for the occasion and crystal vases supporting flowers decorations.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Bridal-Bouquel-Hotel-Majestic-Pallanza.jpg" alt="Bridal-Bouquel-Hotel-Majestic-Pallanza" width="575" height="383" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1596" /></p>
<p>Some other little crystal were inside the Stephanotis flowers in centerpieces and bridal bouquet, just a little compact and rounded jewel.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Bridal-dress-Spose-di-Gio.jpg" alt="Bridal-dress-Spose-di-Gio" width="575" height="383" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1597" /></p>
<p>Suzanne matched crystals on her dress too. There were crystals on the veil, on the dress and the wonderful vintage pin she had on her waist. Bridal dress was italian by <strong>Spose di Gio</strong>. <span id="more-1590"></span></p>
<p><img src="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Wedding-harpist-in-Verbania.jpg" alt="Wedding-harpist-in-Verbania" width="575" height="383" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1599" /></p>
<p>The ceremony was celebrated at the nearby Pallanza Town Hall.<br />
In order to make it even more elegant bride and groom wanted a corsage for every guest: a little rosebud each. Groom and his guests reaches town hall walking while bride arrived there on a wonderful <strong>Fiat Balilla</strong>, the legendary Italian car of 30s.</p>

<p><strong>Grand Hotel Majestic</strong> has a wonderful garden on the shores. It is just a little quiet oasis with many secular trees and flowers. It seems a peaceful terrace on the lake.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Grand-Hotel-Majestic-Pallanza-Verbania.jpg" alt="Grand-Hotel-Majestic-Pallanza-Verbania" width="575" height="383" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1601" /></p>
