They enjoyed the whole day, from ceremony to final dancing party, in this gorgeous villa, a wonderful setting to make this day even more special.
The villa has a wide terraced garden that allow you the possibility to personalize it as you prefer on a special day like your wedding could be.

Jennifer and Theodore exchanged their marriage vows on a big terrace. Mountains sprang from the waters offering a perfect and romantic background for the ceremony.
Jennifer reached her moved groom walking on a soft aisle covered with petals and then, under a gorgeous arch full of red coral flowers, they promised each other eternal love.

After the ceremony they took wonderful pictures on another part of the terrace, which gives a different, but absolutely amazing, point of view of the lake.
A very special thank to Photo27 photographers Diego and Estella who have been simply gorgeous!

The aperitif and light cocktail was served on a green meadow among secular trees giving the chance to bride and groom to mingle with their guests.
After that the group reached area of the garden arranged for the dinner.

Every wedding has a theme and Jennifer and Theodore chose a really original one!
They decided to put on each table a bowl with two goldfishes inside to represent their love and Theodore’s passion for fishing. A sweet and lovely idea!

The dinner buffet was delighted by a band, that emphasized with romantic music the most touching moments of the evening, like the cake cut or the dance between the groom and his mother.

The venue continued cheerfully till late night with wild dances and many toasts!!

And then the two goldfishes Jennifer and Theodore left the party to finally start their lives as Husband and Wife!

They surely had a certain taste for lovely and good things and places so they opted for a wonderful wedding on Lake Como.

Everything was planned to be perfect!
We start from bride’s getting ready at Villa d’Este, the wonderful hotel famous all over the world with stunning view on the lake shores.
And we will end with the party in an amazing private villa near Cernobbio.
But let’s go step by step.

Nick and Joss decided to celebrate their special ceremony in lovely church in Cadenabbia just on the Como Lake’s shores. Here they soaked in a magical and romantic atmosphere created by wonderful floral decorations, white candles and the bright and warm colours of walls, together with a stunning red lacunar ceiling.

After the ceremony, a pleasant and cheerful boat trip led the newlyweds and their guests to the reception venue: an ancient villa with a big terraced garden that overlooks the lake!

This amazing villa gives the chance to choose the setting of your reception: inside, among old marvellous decorations that enrich its big and ancient rooms, or the outdoor space “breathing” the romantic lake atmosphere.
Joss and Nick opted for this option!

They were blessed with a wonderful day, so the guests were able to enjoy the outdoors, gazing the breathtaking panorama during dinner and revealing in the cool lake breeze while dancing.

At the end of the party a white convertible Rolls Royce waited for the newlyweds. An original way to say good-bye to their guests and throw the Kate Middleton style bouquet to the girls!

What do you think?
Could we say that Joss and Nick had their royal wedding too?
We do think so!

We are not often able to tell you about a wedding with all set of beautiful pictures few days after the event. We usually post a Just Married post following a real post telling about the full event.

This time we wanted to do something different, thanks to the great job of Enrico Mocci by ArteFotoArona that in only few days was able to give us the entire photo set.

In this post we selected for you the most beautiful shots.
Candid images full of emotions as always in Enrico Mocci works (like famous Daniel and Tessa Miss Holland for Miss Universe reportage).

Laura and Lionel chose Lake Maggiore for their wedding in Italy. They opted for lake shores in Pallanza.
The catholic ceremony was held in Church of San Leonardo and the reception to follow in elegant Grand Hotel Majestic.

Laura and Lionel come from Luxembourg, they are in love, sweet and very friendly. It was a pleasure working with them!

As floral designer, I’ve been contacted by Lionel more than one year ago.
Since the very beginning bride and groom had very clear ideas on their wedding.
They opted for white as main color for floral decorations and wonderful Avalanche Roses acting as main characters!

Laura and Lionel’s Big Day was on 20th of August.
With the bride and groom there were three sweet flower girls….have a look at them…aren’t they lovely?
Their little bouquets matched perfectly bride’s one with but with some little leaves of Cineraria Marittima in light gray to match their dresses too.

In San Leonardo church we opted for four big composition at the entrance and on the sides of the altar.
To enhance the scenic effect there were some other decorations on the pews all along the aisle, from the church entrance to the bride and groom’s chairs.
All with white roses.

Outside the church there was a very chic Bentley car of 1968 (rented by Laura Gioielli Autodepoca). It was waiting for bride and groom to drive them to Grand Hotel Majestic, Lionel and Laura’s reception venue.

Wonderful gardens of Grand Hotel Majestic just on the shores were the perfece frame for Enrico Mocci’s shots. You can see in them the atmosphere and emotions of this wonderful day for Laura and Lionel.

After the aperitif in the garden the dinner was held in Toscanini Room.
This is one of the most precious room for a reception on Lake Maggiore with antique furniture, rich curtains and crystal chandeliers.

The choice was great considering the very hot day – we had about 38 degrees Celsius.
Toscanini room had a air conditioning system which helped to refresh the ambient without tents or fans.
This is something to consider too!

As far as the floral centerpieces are concerned we decided to go for round shaped compositions on a base of glass cones.
This choice was used also in occasion of Jennifer and Oliver wedding to Grand Hotel Majestic too.
This time the touch of color to accompany white roses were little dark red daisies matching the furniture in Toscanini Room.

The final result was very classy as it was all Laura and Lionel’s wedding.
As floral designer it was a pleasure for me working with this sweet couple!

All our best wishes to Laura and Lionel for endless happiness from all Italian Lakes Wedding Team!

Darren’s words are fixed in my mind “One hour by plane, few minutes on the motor-way and you reach Paradise on Earth!”
How could I describe better a place like this?

Leanne and Darren come from Ireland and the choose Lake Maggiore for their destination wedding. We explored several venues but as soon as they reached Hotel Dino they simply fell in love with the venue and pleasant atmosphere you breath inside.

They really wanted a symbolic blessing in the grounds of the hotel. Their day was blessed with a wonderful sun and mild temperature and their dreams came true.
The blessing was set in the smaller and more private garden of the hotel.

Ceremony was beautifully accompanied by the music of Koinè String Quartet. They created the perfect atmosphere for this romantic event. A wonderful soundtrack that everybody will remember for a long time!

Scenographic arrival of the bride on a natural aisle to reach a wonderful arch of flowers created by La Piccola Selva that matched perfectly Leanne’s theme based on white, purple and lilac.

Have a look to the romantic setting La Piccola Selva and us created for Leanne and Darren’s wedding.
A romantic arch, petals on the aisle and a wonderful view on the lake and Pescatori Island!
And let’s not forget about Leanne and bridesmaid’s bouquets and buttonholes.

Right after the ceremony an amazing aperitif was served directly in the garden.
Hotel Dino and the amazing staff presented a delicious and scenic aperitif in the garden.
All guests enjoyed sun, prosecco drinks and lovely canape and lovely music in the garden while Leanne and Darren took some time to take great wedding pictures.

An early dinner was served in the lovely room of the restaurant.
For the centerpieces Monika and Paola by La Piccola Selva created lovely round shaped compositions in tall glass vases with the same flowers Leanne had on her bouquet. An elegant choice that matched perfectly the style of Hotel Dino.

If you would like to have a look to all the images of the table arrangements follow this link.

The wide reception room faces the lake.
A wonderful dinner overlooking the lake, who could ask for anything more?
The dinner ended with a stunning wedding cake all decorated with Ferrero Rocher, Darren’s favorites! What a surprise with sparklers and Dean Martin’s That’s Amore music in the back ground!

And after then let the real party go on… live music and open bar with a great band and a dj set with crazy dances until 2am.
A great group a great fun on Lake Maggiore… Romanticism and fun the perfect mix for a perfect couple!

Congratulations Darren and Leanne!
A special thank to INDEPENDENT PICTURES photographers for their great shots and for their professionalism!

They were blessed by a wonderful sunny day on the Lake that allowed them to celebrate their ceremony outdoors just by the shores in the beautiful garden of Grand Hotel Dino in Baveno .

Just have a look to this great scenario, white, purple and lilac flowers for the bouquet of the bride and the wedding arch, simply perfect!

Lovely aperitif and dinner followed the ceremony and most of all they had a great dancing party until 2am with a lot of dances and fun!
A great party for sure, nobody will forget that for long time!

We will come back again speaking about this amazing day on Lake Maggiore with more images of the event and more details.

A special thank to Grand Hotel Dino in Baveno for their great professionalism and great staff and to Independent Pictures photographers Francesco and Andrea who gave us these great shots of a wonderful day on the Lake.

Nicole is Australian and Euan is from Scotland. It is just for Euan’s home country that the couple decided for a blue and white schemed wedding.

Blue and white recalls the legendary St. Andrew’s Cross national flag of Scotland. This is one of the most ancient flags in the world dated back to 800 a.c. Flag is made of a diagonal cross representing St. Andrew Martyrdom’s cross on a blue background. St. Andrew is the patron saint of all Scotland. Blue and White are in all national sports wears of Scotland starting from national soccer team.

In Nicole and Euan’s wedding blue and white were just everywhere: in floral arrangements, on flower girl’s dresses and in Nicole’s bridal bouquet. This was a special cascade bouquet that Monika – La Piccola Selva Floral designer – created with white roses and blue gentianas.

The event was coordinated and planned by our wedding planner Valentina Lombardi who works on Lake Orta and Lake Maggiore. Valentina will tell us more about this event.

A very special interesting and sweet couple!
Euan is Scottish and beautiful Nicole is Austalian they both live and work in Dubai. For their special day they opted for Italy because they simply love the food the rustic and quaint atmosphere and also because Euan worked here for about one year.
Nicole also wanted a wedding by the waters of the sea or the lake. Putting all these elements together we thought that Orta could be perfect, so intimate, medieval, romantic and just on the lake shores!

Nicole for her wedding wanted something classical and chic with a timeless elegance theme just like Grace Kelly times. Orta architecture touched their hearts with its facades, narrow roads, pastel colors of houses and little details like the iron gate of the town hall and coat of arms.

When Nicole and Euan looked at Black and White Orta article with Alfonso Longobardi’s photos the finally decided that Orta was more than perfect and Alfonso was going to be the one taking care about their wedding pictures!
A couple who did care about details and historical settings for their wedding!
Valentina – wedding planner

As usual civil ceremony was held in the garden of Villa Bossi. Groom and groomsmen wore their traditional kilt, white and blue were everywhere for a day Lake Orta become a little strip of Scottish Highlands!

Have a look to wonderful white little dress of the flowergirls with a blue belt and ribbon on their waist.

After the ceremony bride and groom had a lovely boat tour with a motorboat reaching St. Julius Island. Alfonso Longobardi took a lot of portraits. Great shots from the very famous photographer coming from Naples.

The reception has been set in the garden of Villa Crespi with famous Lake Orta Moorish Villa on the background. Frescoes and decorations and the high minaret are the perfect setting for an elegant reception like Nicole really wanted.
Villa Crespi is also well known for its 2 Michelin Stars restaurant a dinner you cannot forget!

A fairly tale wedding for Nicole and Euan on the music of Scotland the Brave….

Towering in gallant fame, Scotland my mountain hame, High may your proud standards gloriously wave, Land of my high endeavour, Land of the shining river, Land of my heart for ever.
Scotland the brave.
