<p>From a photographic point of view a wedding for two could be difficult. The only characters are bride and groom and nobody else. There is no reception, emotion of the guests, flower girls, bridesmaids and their wonderful dresses and all the typical atmosphere of a wedding.<br />
In spite of that Maren and Piero are able to do a lively photo service where you can see emotion and lot of joy. This is not common at all! <span id="more-4317"></span></p>

<p>Maren Ollman is not new to these kind of services for this reason we recall Mariana and Matteo&#8217;s wedding <a href="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/lake-orta-weddings/get-married-on-lake-orta/">Get married… and have a good time on Lake Orta</a>. Maren Ollman was awarded with the prize <a href="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/photography/best-wedding-photographers-italy/">Shot of the Year 2009</a> organized by Italian Lakes Wedding for one of those pictures.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Villa-Crespi-wedding-planner-Lake-Orta.jpg"><img src="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Villa-Crespi-wedding-planner-Lake-Orta.jpg" alt="Villa-Crespi-wedding-planner-Lake-Orta" width="640" height="427" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4327" /></a></p>
<p>That <a href="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/photography/best-wedding-photographers-italy/">picture winner</a> of Italian Lakes Wedding <strong>Shot of the Year 2009</strong> was the key point for Rebecca and Marcus photographer choice.<br />
After seeing such a great service they really wanted Maren Ollman for their wedding! </p>
<p><a href="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Ollmann-Ottaviano-lake-Orta-wedding-photographers.jpg"><img src="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Ollmann-Ottaviano-lake-Orta-wedding-photographers.jpg" alt="Ollmann-Ottaviano-lake-Orta-wedding-photographers" width="640" height="960" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4321" /></a></p>
<p>Rebecca and Marcus had a lot of romanticism and intimacy but took the occasion to taste wonderful cuisine!<br />
<strong>Antonino Canavacciuolo</strong> is a 2 Michelin stars chef based in Villa Crespi just on Lake Orta and it was a very good reason to come over here from Australia!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Hotel-Villa-Crespi-lake-Orta-wedding-reception.jpg"><img src="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Hotel-Villa-Crespi-lake-Orta-wedding-reception.jpg" alt="Hotel-Villa-Crespi-lake-Orta-wedding-reception" width="640" height="427" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4328" /></a></p>
<p>Antonino Canavacciuolo comes from Naples and he is considered one of best Italian chefs.<br />
His cuisine is a prefect mix between South traditional food and Piemonte region cuisine adding also a touch of contemporaneity.<br />
This is the reason of the <strong>2 Michelin stars award</strong>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Villa-Bossi-weddings.jpg"><img src="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Villa-Bossi-weddings.jpg" alt="Villa-Bossi-weddings" width="640" height="506" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4329" /></a><br />
<a href="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/civil-ceremony-in-Villa-Bossi-Orta-Town-Hall.jpg"><img src="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/civil-ceremony-in-Villa-Bossi-Orta-Town-Hall.jpg" alt="civil-ceremony-in-Villa-Bossi-Orta-Town-Hall" width="450" height="675" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4330" /></a></p>
<p>After a lovely <a href="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/lakeorta/lake-orta-civil-wedding.html">civil ceremony in Villa Bossi</a> and a lot of great shots in the ancient village of Orta, Marcus and Rebecca had an amazing candle lit dinner in one of the enchanting rooms of Moorish style <a href="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/bridalservices/italian-villa-for-weddings.php?ORDERID=51">hotel and restaurant Villa Crespi</a>.<br />
For this special occasion bride and groom tasted the famous menu <em>Fuori Pista</em> by Antonino Canavacciuolo. It is a 10 courses dinner created at the moment by the chef. All it is based on the inspiration he has at the moment.</p>

<p>A wonderful event for Marcus and Rebecca for a romantic, intimate and fun wedding on Lake Orta.<br />
The event was arranged by <a href="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/author/valentina/">Valentina Lombardi</a> our planner on Lake Orta and Lake Maggiore and bridal bouquet was realized by <a href="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/author/monika/">Monika Andenmatten</a> one of <a href="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/bridalservices/weddingflorist.php?ORDERID=11">La Piccola Selva floral designer</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A lot of couples have the same problem: who and how many guests to invite to their wedding: the most important day in their life. The problem becomes even more important if we talk about a destination wedding abroad. Logistics and budget issues may be added to the “to do list” of the wedding preparations.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/lake-Garda-wedding-planner.jpg"><img src="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/lake-Garda-wedding-planner.jpg" alt="lake-Garda-wedding-planner" width="600" height="399" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3782" /></a></p>
<p>On 31 May 2010<strong> Judith and Stephen</strong> decided to simplify it all and satisfy both their needs: an intimate wedding ceremony with just close family and celebrate it all afterwards with all the other family, friends and colleagues. They simply “split” the event in 2: a little romantic wedding in Italy, and then once back home, have a great party with all. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/wedding-to-Torri-del-Benaco-castle-Lake-Garda.jpg"><img src="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/wedding-to-Torri-del-Benaco-castle-Lake-Garda.jpg" alt="wedding-to-Torri-del-Benaco-castle-Lake-Garda" width="450" height="678" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3783" /></a></p>
<p>For their Italian wedding, they chose sunny, tiny little town of <a href="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/lake-garda-weddings/torri-del-benaco-not-just-a-civil-wedding/">Torri del Benaco</a>. In Torri del Benaco you can keep it original genuine despite of the fact that it is very touristy. Coming here, you will find original local cuisine of the many restaurants of the historic centre around the <strong>Castle</strong>, dominating the town. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/wedding-planner-Torri-del-Benaco-lake-Garda.jpg"><img src="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/wedding-planner-Torri-del-Benaco-lake-Garda.jpg" alt="wedding-planner-Torri-del-Benaco-lake-Garda" width="450" height="677" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3794" /></a></p>
<p>Judith and Stephen&#8217;s ceremony was held in the <strong>Lemon Garden</strong> of the Castle under the refreshing shade of some lemon trees. Stephen had some “long minutes” to wait for Judith’s arrival, as she absolutely wanted to stop in the church on the way to the castle to tell a prayer, and ask the blessing of God to her wedding.<span id="more-3781"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/church-wedding-ceremony-in-Torri-del-Benaco-Lake-Garda.jpg"><img src="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/church-wedding-ceremony-in-Torri-del-Benaco-Lake-Garda.jpg" alt="church-wedding-ceremony-in-Torri-del-Benaco-Lake-Garda" width="600" height="399" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3787" /></a><br />

<p>And here we are, Judith arrives totally moved already with tears in her eyes… Actually she didn’t stop crying and smiling during the whole ceremony.  Then Stephen relaxed, after that he could kiss his bride following the important <strong>YES.</strong> </p>

<p>Some photo shooting in the Castle and to complete the romantic atmosphere Judith and Stephen had a lovely walk along the lake to take some intimate minutes only for just for the two of them They totally enjoyed this new feeling, still incredible and difficult to believe… It’s done, they are married! </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It certainly doesn’t happen every day to decorate a <strong>Ferrari</strong> for a wedding. But a few days ago this is exactly what I did for Elena and Giorgio’s wedding on <a href="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/lakeorta/lake-orta-weddings.html">Lake Orta</a>.</p>

<p><strong>Elena and Giorgio</strong> tied the knot on a lovely warm April day, just perfect for a photographic tour of the lake thanks to the motorboat their chosen location for the reception, the <a href="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/bridalservices/italian-restaurant-for-weddings.php?ORDERID=82">Hotel Ristorante L’Approdo</a>, made available to them. </p>

<p>Although it is just a few days since the event, I am delighted to be able to show you a preview of their photographs,  thank to the rapid work of <strong>Raffaello Mazzoleni</strong> of <a href="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/bridalservices/italian-wedding-photographer.php?ORDERID=41">Studio ArteFoto Omegna</a>.<br />
In fact the <strong>rapid delivery</strong> he ensures is photographer Raffaello Mazzoleni’s winning card as he will hand over the DVD of a wedding in a maximum of three days and at a very competitive price too, especially considering that he is one of a small number of Italian professional photographers who belong to the <strong>WPJA</strong>, the prestigious American association which makes a worldwide selection among the finest photographers operating in <a href="http://www.italianweddingphotojournalist.com/">journalism and weddings</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/bridal-bouquet-red-white-roses.jpg"><img src="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/bridal-bouquet-red-white-roses.jpg" alt="bridal-bouquet-red-white-roses" width="575" height="406" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2655" /></a></p>
<p>I was the <a href="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/bridalservices/weddingflorist.php?ORDERID=11">flower designer</a> who organised the decorations for the civil wedding ceremony, for the bride and for the table centres at the Hotel Ristorante L’Approdo. Elena wanted red and white as her colours and chose the <strong>rose</strong> as her principal flower. <span id="more-2652"></span><br />
I was telling you about the decoration of the legendary Ferrari, although it was in fact quite a minimal decoration so as not to distract attention from the bride and the famous red car, the superb <strong>Ferrari California</strong>, the latest new model out and the car chosen to take the bride to the ceremony.  Talk about arriving in style!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Ferrari-wedding-care-hire.jpg"><img src="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Ferrari-wedding-care-hire.jpg" alt="Ferrari-wedding-care-hire" width="600" height="400" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2656" /></a></p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/bridalservices/vintage-cars-rental-italian-lakes.php">Ferrari</a> is without doubt the ultimate symbol of  <strong>truly Italian style</strong> and aplomb, a true winner enjoying victory after victory at the hands of top drivers, among whom Michael Schumacher, Phil Hill, Niki Lauda and Gilles Villeneuve.<br />
After arrival at <strong>Orta San Giulio</strong> on board the Ferrari, admired by the curious tourists crowding the the medieval village, Elena and Giorgio strolled around the romantic cobbled little streets of Orta, an ideal place for  timeless wedding pictures. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Raffaello-Mazzoleni-wedding-photographer-Lake-Orta.jpg"><img src="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Raffaello-Mazzoleni-wedding-photographer-Lake-Orta.jpg" alt="Raffaello-Mazzoleni-wedding-photographer-Lake-Orta" width="575" height="431" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2657" /></a></p>
<p>And then … the feast! Elena and Giorgio chose the widely acclaimed cuisine and stunning location of the <strong>Hotel Approdo</strong> at Pettenasco.<br />
The photo shows the cutting of the cake which had no less than four tiers and was prepared by the skilful pastry chefs at the <a href="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/bridalservices/italian-restaurant-for-weddings.php?ORDERID=82">Hotel Ristorante L’Approdo</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Hotel-Approdo-Orta-wedding-cake.jpg"><img src="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Hotel-Approdo-Orta-wedding-cake.jpg" alt="Hotel-Approdo-Orta-wedding-cake" width="575" height="440" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2658" /></a></p>
<p>The reception was  accompanied by music from the duo <a href="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/bridalservices/wedding-entertainment-italy.php">SG sound</a>: Giovanna accompanies Stefano’s voice with her versatile keyboard. They are a superb duo who are able to play a fine selection of music for all tastes and occasions, from piano bar to the latest hits, both Italian and international.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After Suzanne and Christopher, Loretta and Scott, Nicky and Chris we are on <a href="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/lakemaggiore/lake-maggiore-weddings.html">Lake Maggiore</a> again to tell you about another magic wedding: <strong>Simone and Stephans&#8217; wedding</strong>. They were such a lovely couple coming from <strong>Zurich, Switzerland</strong>.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/simone_stephan_0793.jpg" alt="Simone &amp; Stephan’s wedding on Lake Maggiore" width="575" height="382" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1640" /></p>
<p>First of all a big thank you to <a href="http://www.tag7.ch/">Andrea and Marcus</a> a great couple of Swiss photographers that kindly put on disposal their great images of Simone and Stephan&#8217;s wedding. A vintage and really unconventional service that we found really unique. The yellow shade gives to images a sense of warm and cosy brightness.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/simone_stephan_1063.jpg" alt="Tag7 wedding photographers Zurich" width="640" height="390" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1641" /></p>
<p>Simone and Stephan wanted a unique and unforgettable wedding. They looked for a real elegant and Italian style event to give their day a touch of glamour. After visiting many venue they choose Lake Maggiore and little town of Pallanza.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/simone_stephan_0115.jpg" alt="simone_stephan_0115" width="575" height="382" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1642" /></p>
<p>Bride and groom opted for a religious ceremony to <strong>Sacro Monte church</strong> in Ghiffa and a wonderful reception to <strong>Villa Rusconi Clerici</strong> in Pallanza just few minutes far from the church.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/simone_stephan_1134.jpg" alt="Wedding rings in Italy" width="575" height="383" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1643" /></p>
<p>For all guests Simone and Stephan wanted a week end long event.<br />
They started with a lovely dinner on friday night in a traditional pizzeria facing the lake.<br />
Saturday the day of the wedding they decided for a big party to Villa Rusconi sipping champagne, delicious Italian cuisine and fun dances up to early hours of Sunday.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Wedding-to-Grand-Hotel-Majestic-Lake-Maggiore.jpg" alt="Wedding-to-Grand-Hotel-Majestic-Lake-Maggiore" width="640" height="480" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1644" /></p>
<p>The big day of Saturday begun early in the morning to <a href="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/bridalservices/italian-restaurant-for-weddings.php?ORDERID=75">Grand Hotel Majestic</a> where the group stayed for all the wedding week end.<br />
Dividing herself among make up and hair trial Simone spend some hours with her mother and maid of honor Rachel.<br />
On late morning they all reached Ghiffa where all guests and Stephan were waiting for them.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/simone_stephan_0692.jpg" alt="simone_stephan_0692" width="575" height="382" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1645" /></p>
<p>Simone and Stephan got married in the tiny romantic 1600 church of <strong>Sacro Monte of Ghiffa</strong>.<br />
Floral decorations were arranged by <strong>Manuela</strong> the floral designers who works in partnership with <a href="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/bridalservices/weddingflorist.php?ORDERID=11">La Piccola Selva</a>.<br />
Roses were main flowers. Arrangement at the church included external columns, pews, balusters, and aisle to the altar totally covered with rose petals. <span id="more-1639"></span></p>
<p><img src="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Wedding-to-Sacro-Monte-Church-Ghiffa.jpg" alt="Wedding-to-Sacro-Monte-Church-Ghiffa" width="640" height="480" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1646" /></p>
<p><strong>Sacro Monte of Ghiffa</strong> is an evocative complex of churches and chapels and it is the perfect frame for great wedding pictures as the ones that Andrea and Marcus of <a href="http://www.tag7.ch/">Tag7</a> took.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/simone_stephan_0325.jpg" alt="Wedding aperitif outside the Sacro Monte Church Ghiffa" width="575" height="383" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1647" /></p>
<p>The view on <a href="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/lakemaggiore/lake-maggiore-weddings.html">Lake Maggiore</a> from Sacro Monte is really breathtaking. It is just here that after the ceremony bride and and groom decided to offer a little aperitif for their guests, just on the shades of seculars trees of Natural Park.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Villa-Rusconi-florist-Verbania.jpg" alt="Villa-Rusconi-florist-Verbania" width="640" height="480" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1651" /></p>
<p>After ceremony and aperitif a very elegant reception to <strong>Villa Rusconi Clerici</strong> in Pallanza followed.<br />
The scenery was great and arrangements really sophisticated. </p>
<p><img src="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Baby-Pink-Bouquet.jpg" alt="Baby-Pink-Bouquet" width="640" height="481" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1652" /></p>
<p>Simone choose as theme color baby pink with shades between white and pink.<br />
This theme was the same for wedding flowers and wedding stationery.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Tableau-Villa-Rusconi-Verbania.jpg" alt="Tableau-Villa-Rusconi-Verbania" width="640" height="481" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1653" /></p>
<p>Names-cards, tables names and table chart were all in the same color.<br />
The table chart has been realized using great buxus vases enriched with hazelnuts branches to create a nice support for lovely pink envelopes. There was an envelope for each guest telling him or her the seat.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Flower-centerpiece-Villa-Rusconi.jpg" alt="Flower-centerpiece-Villa-Rusconi" width="640" height="481" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1654" /></p>
<p>Photographers had a lot of fun the lovely details of the arrangements: there were so many of them!<br />
Not to forget the Villa Rusconi atmosphere, unique and evocative.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/simone_stephan_0418.jpg" alt="Lakefront wedding cocktail at Villa Rusconi Clerici" width="575" height="383" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1655" /></p>
<p>Around mid afternoon a second aperitif was served just by the lake shores in the villa&#8217;s garden.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Catering-Villa-Rusconi-Verbania.jpg" alt="Catering-Villa-Rusconi-Verbania" width="640" height="481" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1657" /></p>
<p>Cocktail was served together with Italian finger food: parmigiano, cheese with nuts, mussels and lake fish up to a wonderful fruit tart totally covered with almond coming from Sicily.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/simone_stephan_0901.jpg" alt="Villa Rusconi dinner" width="575" height="382" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1658" /></p>
<p>The party followed inside the wonderful pavilion of Villa Rusconi where dinner was served.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/simone_stephan_1136.jpg" alt="Romantic Wedding on Lake Maggiore" width="575" height="383" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1659" /></p>
<p>A romantic sunset on the lake and a great night came with the gourmand dinner.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Wedding-Cake-Verbania.jpg" alt="Wedding-Cake-Verbania" width="640" height="481" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1660" /></p>
<p>For their wedding cake Simone and Stephan wanted the precise replica of an cake they saw some months before which simply loved.<br />
Thanks to maitre chocolatier <strong>Costantino Guardia</strong> this was possible.<br />
They had a great 7 tiers cake which was decorated in every single detail. It seemed covered with laces.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Wedding-Buffet-Verbania.jpg" alt="Wedding-Buffet-Verbania" width="640" height="480" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1661" /></p>
<p>Guests had another surprise with the delicious sweets buffet and dances in the cellar of the villa and even a pizza party!<br />
Villa has an ancient oven where a pizza maker can cook pizzas to create a very amusing conclusion to your party.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/simone_stephan_0474.jpg" alt="simone_stephan_0474" width="575" height="383" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1662" /></p>
<p>But surprises are not finished!<br />
Out in the park of the villa bridegroom and their guests had the occasion to en-lit a fly lantern each, making a wish and let it going in the air.</p>
<p>Lake Maggiore sky was full of little lanterns&#8230;.a wonderful sight for a magic night!</p>

<p>Today I am going to talk to you about  <strong>Yvonne and Savino’s wedding</strong> event: she is German and he is Italian, both living in Milan, and they are among the many couples who this year have made <a href="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/lakeorta/lake-orta-weddings.html">Lake Orta</a> their chosen venue for their special day. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/italianlakeswedding/3956243358/" title="Boat trip on Lake Orta by Italian Lakes Wedding, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2664/3956243358_3c7d949220_o.jpg" width="600" height="450" alt="Boat trip on Lake Orta" class="aligncenter size"/></a></p>
<p>The wedding ceremony was performed against the enchanting backdrop of <a href="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/lake-orta-weddings/have-your-wedding-with-a-wonderful-view-at-the-sacro-monte-church/">Orta’s Sacro Monte</a> while Yvonne  and Savino chose the elegant <a href="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/bridalservices/italian-restaurant-for-weddings.php?ORDERID=82">Hotel Ristorante L’Approdo</a> in Pettenasco.<br />
The photographer who recorded the event was <a href="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/bridalservices/italian-wedding-photographer.php?ORDERID=49">Alessandro Balossi</a>, certainly one of the best <a href="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/photography/the-photographer-of-smiling-brides/">portrait photographers</a> on Lake Orta. The two pictures we have published here are a splendid example of his ability to capture his subjects spontaneously and naturally.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/italianlakeswedding/3956239532/" title="wedding portraits by Italian Lakes Wedding, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2612/3956239532_13c7e4ff1e_o.jpg" width="600" height="450" alt="wedding portraits" class="aligncenter size"/></a></p>
<p>I was asked by Yvonne and Savino to be their flower designer and to take care of every aspect of the floral decoration for their wedding. The color scheme was <strong>white and lilac</strong> , certainly one of the most popular combinations over the last year. Yvonne particularly wanted a bouquet which featured these colours but which at the same time would be special and quite unique, elegant but natural.  </p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/italianlakeswedding/3955459209/" title="Lilac Bridal Bouquet by Italian Lakes Wedding, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2456/3955459209_59725eff51_o.jpg" width="600" height="400" alt="Lilac Bridal Bouquet" class="aligncenter size"/></a></p>
<p>This gave me the idea to use the flowers of the lilac Hebe, which has always been one of my own favourite flowers.<br />
The  Hebe grows wild in New Zealand but can also live quite happily in our own gardens, above all the lilac flower is one of the most delicate and natural we can find in existence.  Quite perfect for the bouquet that Yvonne wanted!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/italianlakeswedding/3956240616/" title="bride portrait by Italian Lakes Wedding, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2634/3956240616_f7951365ef_o.jpg" width="600" height="401" alt="bride portrait" class="aligncenter size"/></a></p>
<p>Apart from the Hebe, the other lilac flowers I used for Yvonne’s bouquet were Freesia and Lysanthius, while the white flowers were Avalanche roses and the Cymbidium orchid . <span id="more-1286"></span><br />
I also used the same colours as Yvonne’s bouquet for the gentlemen’s buttonholes, white roses and lilac Lysanthius.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/italianlakeswedding/3955460153/" title="Lilac Buttonhole by Italian Lakes Wedding, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2492/3955460153_0c0037db6c_o.jpg" width="600" height="400" alt="Lilac Buttonhole" class="aligncenter size"/></a></p>
<p>The floral arrangiaments in the <a href="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/lake-orta-weddings/have-your-wedding-with-a-wonderful-view-at-the-sacro-monte-church/">Sacro Monte at Orta</a>, were Yvonne’s choice of large Lilium Longiflorum, which I find are particularly fine in this church. Notice two arrangements I created for the two sides of the main aisle leading to the altar: two stylised vertical arrangements Lilium Longiflorum with a large lilac ribbon. A simple solution which is most effective…  and above all quite economical! </p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/italianlakeswedding/3956241542/" title="Sacro Monte Orta Wedding by Italian Lakes Wedding, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2435/3956241542_c0d2edee08_o.jpg" width="600" height="450" alt="Sacro Monte Orta Wedding" class="aligncenter size"/></a></p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/bridalservices/vintage-cars-rental-italian-lakes.php">bride and groom’s car</a> also features the same theme developed for the church with <strong>Lilium Longiflorum</strong>, greenery and lilac ribbon: in this case a long festoon transversally covers the whole bonnet of the car.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/italianlakeswedding/3955461123/" title="Weddinc Car Flower Arrangements by Italian Lakes Wedding, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2592/3955461123_c825a3f7f7_o.jpg" width="600" height="400" alt="Weddinc Car Flower Arrangements" class="aligncenter size"/></a></p>
<p>After the ceremony, the party went on at the <a href="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/bridalservices/italian-restaurant-for-weddings.php?ORDERID=82">Hotel L’Approdo</a> in Pettenasco: elegant cuisine, a superb position on the lake shore and value for money are the keys to success at this prestigious location run by the Primatesta Family, historical leaders in the hospitality industry on Lake Orta. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/italianlakeswedding/3955461565/" title="Hotel Approdo Weddings by Italian Lakes Wedding, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2498/3955461565_80dd12ff8b_o.jpg" width="600" height="395" alt="Hotel Approdo Weddings" class="aligncenter size"/></a></p>
<p>The wedding reception is held in the elegant spacious Calle Room at the Hotel L’Approdo: you will see that the table centres and fancy sweet boxes have the same color scheme chosen by Yvonne and Savino, white and lilac.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/italianlakeswedding/3955462095/" title="Lilac centerpieces by Italian Lakes Wedding, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2480/3955462095_4a90c00080_o.jpg" width="600" height="450" alt="Lilac centerpieces" class="aligncenter size"/></a></p>
<p>Something special the <a href="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/bridalservices/italian-restaurant-for-weddings.php?ORDERID=82">Hotel Ristorante L’Approdo</a> does is to offer the bride and groom a trip on the private motorboat to the <a href="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/blog/lake-orta-weddings/the-treasure-of-san-giulio-island/">island of San Giulio</a>, a unique opportunity to admire Orta San Giulio and take some wonderful wedding shots!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/italianlakeswedding/3956239056/" title="Wedding in Orta San Giulio by Italian Lakes Wedding, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2443/3956239056_146778339c_o.jpg" width="600" height="400" alt="Wedding in Orta San Giulio" class="aligncenter size"/></a></p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/bridalservices/italian-restaurant-for-weddings.php?ORDERID=82">Hotel L’Approdo</a> and the <a href="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/bridalservices/weddingflorist.php?ORDERID=11">florists La Piccola Selva</a> wish to thank <a href="http://www.italianlakeswedding.com/bridalservices/italian-wedding-photographer.php?ORDERID=49">Alessandro Balossi</a> for having allowed us to use the pictures of the wedding  and our best wishes for a life happiness to the bride and groom, Yvonne and Savino!</p>
