Today we would like to show you the very first pictures of Donna and Mark’s wedding on Madonna del Sasso.
The church of Madonna del Sasso is very famous for the extraordinary view that you can enjoy from the courtyard in front of the church itself.

The bride and groom choose a symbolic blessing outdoor just on the edge of the rock of Madonna del Sasso with a stunning and romantic view on all Lake Orta and St. Julius Island.
A lovely, moving and sweet ceremony conducted by our celebrant Giuseppe.

Have a look to the vintage car Donna and Mark used to reach Madonna del Sasso. It is a vintage Lancia Appia of the 60s.
A charming touch was also the bridal bouquet with pink peonies, white roses and a delicate touch of blue (something blue just as the tradition!) of lavander and hydrangeas.

A special thank to Enrico Mocci photographer who released the pictures for Donna and Mark’s wedding in a very short time! We will come back soon talking again about this romantic American couple who choose the amazing panormas of Lake Orta for their intimate Italian wedding!

Instruction for use: take Mariana and Matteo’s wedding Get married… and have a good time on Lake Orta, then take Browen and Josh’s wedding… do you remember it?
The young couple who eloped to Lake Orta secretly? Let’s shake… and here we are Rebecca and Marcus’ wedding a perfect mix of romanticism, intimacy and… fun.

Just like Bronwen and Josh, Rebecca and Marcus are coming from Australia too.
They always had a deep love for Italy and they choose it for their wedding!
First they opted for Rome but then Rebecca found out intimate atmosphere of Lake Orta and that was their final choice!

Rebecca and Marcus a love elope for an intimate wedding on Lake Orta!
It was romantic but also fun and you can really feel it from great pictures taken by Maren Ollmann and Piero Ottaviano who perfectly took the spirit of the event!
The photos you can see here speak from themselves but we invite you to have a look to the amazing PHOTO-GALLERY with the entire service this lovely couple of photographers realized for the event.

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.
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! Continue Reading »

Thinking about a wedding we can imagine big parties, wonderful dresses and big wedding cakes.
If you are thinking about all this, Helen and Daheun’s wedding could be really out of ordinary!
But in its dimension and semplicity it was one of the loveliest wedding on Lake Orta.
An event full of emotions and symbols which is rare to face nowadays.

It was special also for wedding images: Helen and Daehun chose Luca Rajna – Ajn Luca Rajna Progetti Fotografici – as their photographer. We met him in occasion of Loretta and Scott’s wedding on Lake Maggiore last year. Luca Rajna is a creative and innovative photographer.

For this occasion all images has been edited with a special technique called Polaroid Transfer.
Polaroid is the legendary camera of the 70s which was able to develop pictures immediately.
Polaroid transfer technique is simply pressing a just-shot photo with a Polaroid on watercolor paper. The result is really artistic an vintage with some irregolar shaped edges. Luca Rajna created the same effect for great shots of Helen and Daheun’s wedding. Have a look to PHOTO GALLERY with 70 polaroid transfers photo in it.

Helen was born in Illinois she is optimist and loves nature. She is vegetarian and loves colors and scent of flowers. After her degree to Columbia University in Manhattan she moved to South Corea where met Daehun her groom.
Helen loves South Corea and people there. After the wedding she came back over there where she teach English to elementary school to Siheung City.

Helen wanted to get married and have a lovely honeymoon across Europe. She never been over here.
It was not easy choose the right destination… then browsing on the internet Helen found out Italian Lakes Wedding and decided immediately for Madonna del Sasso church.

This lovely church was built on a rock right above Lake Orta. Madonna del Sasso church is one of the most wanted churches on the lakes and one of the most scenographic in Italy.
The inside of the church is grand, rich of works of art of 1500 and 1600. Continue Reading »

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.

On 31 May 2010 Judith and Stephen 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.

For their Italian wedding, they chose sunny, tiny little town of Torri del Benaco. 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 Castle, dominating the town.

Judith and Stephen’s ceremony was held in the Lemon Garden 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.

There are many couples who decide for a very intimate wedding.
If you are looking for a romantic wedding for two you could consider many ideas such cities of art like Rome – as Stefania mentioned in her past post – some exotic beaches or isolated villages.
However if you love lakes but want to keep it private, romantic and unique Lake Orta could be the perfect choice!

Orta is a pretty little village. It is completely pedestrian, medieval, facing quiet lake and it is tiny St. Julius Island.

Best option is a romanic civil ceremony to Villa Bossi. We suggest to opt for a wedd day when narrow roads of Orta village are less crowded and more intimate.
You will discover real Italy here. You can choose to get ready in one of the lovely hotels in Orta overlooking the lake.

Bride could arrive alone with a rowing boat while groom is waiting for her to Villa Bossi. Just like Suzanne and Russell did.

They stayed to Villa Crespi to get ready. Then they had a romantic ceremony to Villa Bossi and after a romantic boat tour on the lake, they landed to the restaurant on St. Julius Island for a cosy dinner for the two of them. Continue Reading »

Nicola and Bryan are a wonderful Irish couple who fell in love with Lake Orta more than a year ago. They decided for an intimate wedding for no more than 25 people on Lake Orta.

Nicola got in her eyes charm and elegance on this pretty romantic lake on Northen Italy and made it hers. She is for sure one of the most elegant bride I had I simply loved her style.
She loved little details as I do too.

First of all have a look to her look.
The hairdo was arranged by Cristina one of the best hairdresser in Orta who spent more than 2 hours with Nicola creating the perfect style on her.

Nicola’s make up was elegant and simple too.
The perfect make up a bride should wear: you can appreciate it but it is not too strong just delicate and fresh. Continue Reading »

June has arrived and long wedding season on Lake Orta officially begun.
I would like to go back for while speaking about Daniela and Giuseppe our Italian couple who opened wedding season on 6rd of March 2010.
It was the first wedding of 2010 for us as florist but also for Villa Bossi Orta town hall and St. Julius Restaurant the venue the couple chose for their wedding reception.

March is such a perfect day for a romantic wedding in Orta San Giulio. Village is not crowded by tourists yet and enchanted intimacy make it a different world.
Do not forget that March could also have wonderful sunny days!

At first sight it could seem curious but Giuseppe and Daniela live close to Como. But they actually chose Lake Orta.
We would like to let them speak about that:

We chose Lake Orta even if we live close to Como. This because it quiet, romantic and more intimate. Walking in the narrow roads of Orta Village seems to live again ancient times experiencing unique atmospheres. They are just perfect for a wedding. We were more than happy of our choice.

From Como to Orta for a romantic wedding: a simple choice. Continue Reading »
