It was a very special wedding.
First of all because of the date: the same of Kate and William’s wedding, and then for the venues they chose for their staying!

The newlywed, in fact, spent their holiday and got ready in Villa d’Este.
A really exclusive and relaxing place to spend your time while waiting the fateful moment to come!

The ceremony and the wedding reception took place in a magnificent private villa in Cernobbio, that was decorated in a superb way for the occasion.
The big terrace overlooking Lake Como, was covered by real grass and wonderful floral decorations, with a big huppah in the center, full of white flowers and candles.

Guests were welcome by an unusual cocktail before the ceremony. An original way to host friends and relatives waiting for the bride to come.

And then “the moment” came. The bride, beautiful in her precious vintage dress of a famous designer, arrived to say “I will” to her thrilled groom.

After the ceremony the wedding reception took place in an elegant gala marquee.
Here, after happy games and dancing guided by international deejays, the newlyweds and their guests could enjoy a very exclusive show: the famous singer In-grid sang only for them, in order to make the atmosphere even happier and festive.

And finally, gorgeous fireworks sparkled in the sky to celebrate this day and illuminate the coming of a wonderful four-tiered wedding cake.

What else could ask a bride to make her marriage absolutely unforgettable?

After the great and special rehearsal dinner to a beautiful Lake Como beach club, the Big Day has finally arrived for Antonin & Louise.
Many details made this wedding really different!

Both bride and groom stayed to Villa D’Este where they spent few relaxing days enjoying the lake and warm summer weather.
On the wedding day Antonin joined his friends who stayed for almost a week in a fantastic Villa with pool and private pier located in Laglio.

Ceremony was arranged to Villa del Balbianello followed by an wonderful reception in a private Villa in Cernobbio, on the lakeshore: a real masterpiece of the Lake Como architecture.
From this Villa, Antonin and his best men got on a charming Riva motorboat to go to Villa del Balbianello: they were really handsome.

In the meanwhile, the bride, together with her dad and the bridesmaids left Villa D’Este on a second charming Riva motorboat and reached Antonin who already reached Villa del Balbianello waiting for her together with family and friends, all very excited.
Louise was so beautiful in her wedding gown!

The ceremony was celebrated in the Loggia of Villa del Balbianello and conducted by a close friend of the couple.

All decorations were precious and elegant, with a big arch of flowers as main detail.

For the reception we worked a lot at Cernobbio Villa to create a perfect atmosphere. It had to be perfect!
After a long preparation the result was magnificent.

The cocktail was served in a lateral terrace which was adorned with tables, buffets and flowers, while the dinner was arranged on the main terrace, with a long table for the couple and their close family and friends, surrounded by many other round tables.

Centerpieces were something to be remember. High chandeliers totally covered with greenery and enriched with cascades of precious orchids and ivory candles.

Antonin and Louise wanted a real party where music, dance and scenery had a leading role.
For this reason, the band chosen for their event was great! It was made up with 11 musicians who involved the guests in dances and entertainment since the beginning of the aperitif.
Wonderful Italian Food, dance and lot of fun!

But our couple still wanted to surprise their guests with stunning fireworks on the Lake, accompanied by touching and romantic music.

And we do not have to forget the cut of the cake! It was totally unusual.
For this special moment they decided to get on a stage and cut the cake at the rhythm of a Samba.

After this special moment the party continued until late at night: a night that nobody will never forget.

First of all let us introduce you our bride and groom: Nadia and Michel both come from Germany. The groom has Italian heritage. His relatives came from Puglia Region in Southern Italy which is famous for its splendid sea.
Nadia and Michel always loved Lake Como. They visited it many times and they chose it as their wedding destination.
In order make their love dream come true they chosed a special romantic and exclusive venue. Choosing Villa del Balbianello has been more than natural, considering also how famous it is!

Micheal and guests’ arrival by motorboat to Villa del Balbianello, stood out in all its splendor, with the 2 gracious bell towers of the ancient Saint John Convent which stretched skywards in a myriad of clouds and shades.

Isn’t it stunning? Just look to images of the Villa seen from the Lake! The authors are again Estella & Diego of Photo27 who followed the 3 days event: boat trip on the Lake the first day, wedding to Villa del Balbianello and last but not least a beach party in Lenno on the third day, right after the wedding.

And here arrives Nadia, on board of a luxurious white motorboat. The clouds went away in the meanwhile, leaving the space to a clear sunny day…
It almost seemed that the planners arranged the sun coming too!

During the weddings, access to Villa del Balbianello, is exclusively allowed from the Lake. You are welcome by the motto “Fay ce que voudras” (do what you want) which the Cardinal Durini wanted to be engraved on the small pier.
When at the end of the of the eighteenth Century he took care of the renewal of the Villa to transforming it in the ‘place of the delights’.
From the little pier, a steep stair leads to the gardens and then to the Villa, which is located a little higher.

What a fantastic scenery! Not by chance this Villa was chosen in the past as cinematographic set for famous movies such as 007 Casino Royale and Star Wars II – Attack of the Clones.

Have a look at the video taken from Star Wars, with the romantic scene of the first kiss between Padme and Anakin filmed Villa del Balbianello Terrace.

Going back to Nadia and Michel wedding…we need remark how much bride and groom wanted to give an original touch, choosing as event dress code total white.
Majority of guests wore white both women and men.

Nadia was given away by his brother Matthew, waiting for her at the beautiful Loggia of the Villa, to lead her the Map Room, where a religious blessing took place.

Villa del Balbianello gardens have a sober and refined elegance. Indoor spaces are richly furnished with French and English furniture, oriental rugs, tapestries and big chandeliers. The Map Room has a complete collection of maps together with more than 4000 books telling experiences of travels made all around the world.
After the ceremony all guests went to the cocktail arranged on the big Loggia.
They all enjoyed a spectacular view on the Lake Como, just think about sipping a drink in such a special location!

Dinner was served in the elegant Pavillion of the villa on the Lake.

At night, atmosphere at Villa del Balbianello became even more romantic and evocative!

Reception party ended with a grand fireworks show, with a unique final: an enormous sparkling heart. What a show!

A wedding such as Nadia and Michel’s one needs a long preparation and a detailed care on any details.

Newlyweds lived their planning in total relax thanks to their wedding planners’ team who assisted and supported them in each decision. The result was a magic and perfect event, a real stress-free wedding at Villa del Balbianello!
