All the readers who follow us will have noticed the wonderful images that accompany Stefania’s posts, our wedding planner for Lake Bracciano. Many of her works are photographed by Alessandro Zingone, a photographer specialized in weddings in this beautiful lake and on the outskirts of Rome.

Lake Bracciano is for sure one of the best Lake spot on Southern Lakes but we do not have to forget Rome the Eternal City.
What to say about Rome?
Everything has been already said and written about Rome but how can we miss it?
We do work on lakes but since Bracciano is so close to Rome we wanted to mention it for a while.
If you are coming to Italy a visit to this amazing city will make your staying even more magic!
Rome has the appeal of immortality and eternity just like a neverending love!
Then if you are looking for a very romantic wedding the best solution could be a wedding for two in Rome!
I planned sweetheart wedding or elopes for just the bride and groom in Rome and there were simply amazing. A romantic civil ceremony or even a religious or better a symbolic wedding in one of the ancient building of Rome or on open air just facing Coliseum or Imperial Forums.
Just like Tony and Keith who got married in Tivoli Villa d’Este and their frescoed rooms. Or Cheryl and Rob who got married in Rome itself just by the ancient ruins.
Or Daniela and Giuseppe who got married just by Caracalla Steam Bath built more than 200 year ago! Continue Reading »

Let’s have a quick look at the italian- english wedding of Federica and Andy which took place at the Santa Marinella Odescalchi castle, which overlooks the sea and which is owned by the same nobiliar family of the Odescalchi castle located in lake Bracciano.
The theme color was the glamorous pink in all its gradations, from the bucolic decorations of the ceremony in the inner court, to the refined centerpieces.
The atmosphere was absolutely unique and we all had the chance to admire a gorgeous sunset by the sea… so romantic.
Thank you again to the photographer Alessandro Zingone who gave us the chance to have this first glance on this wedding in a very quick time.
