wedding team on Apr 2nd 2011 Just Married
Today we’ve officially opened the wedding season on Villa Bossi in Orta. We show you here the very first images of the event a real scoop!
Siobhan and Stuart were the first couple to get married in Orta. The both come from Scotland as you can also see from groom’s special suit!
A wonderful day in Orta with a mild temperature, almost like summer, pretty unusual for this period considering that Spring has just arrived!
This was the perfect frame for Siobhan and Stuart’s wedding!
As tradition wants Siobhan arrived to Villa Bossi by a rowing boat with her father. The civil ceremony had also a special touch with a wonderful blessing conducted by our celebrants Diane and Giuseppe.
After a pretty walk in the medieval village of Orta bride and groom had a wonderful aperitif in the gardens of Villa Gippini part of San Rocco Hotel, where Siobhan and Stuart also had a delicious dinner with all their guests.
We would like to thank Independent Pictures photographers who gave us in few hours the first wonderful shots of this sweet event.

Villa Bossi in Orta San Giulio is for sure one of the most evocative venues to set a civil ceremony in Italy.
It was built during the XVI century. The building is made up by a L shape house on three levels. The façade overlooks the lake allowing a wonderful view to Pella, Ronco, Madonna del Sasso Sanctuary and most of all precious mystic St Julius Island.
Villa Bossi was built on a pre-existing medieval building that is still part of its walls perimeter but it was renewed and enlarged during the centuries.
Nowadays the building houses Orta San Giulio town hall. The building is simple and sober but enriched with some lovely architectural elements such as the porch and the loggia.
The rooms inside are furnished with antique stunning furniture that you will surely love.
The garden is just charming and it is always opened to visitors.
Four flowerbeds, a wisteria pergola with some seats and a secular cypress and, most of all, the iron gate that face lake’s waters make it up. The garden blooms with many salmon roses: it is “Orta San Giulio rose” a new quality of rose created just for this wonderful village on the lake.
Villa Bossi is a unique place. You won’t find anything similar all over Italy. It is the favourite destination for bridegrooms coming from abroad. Here you can also celebrate the bending in the open-air garden facing the lake, the panorama will be the perfect frame for the celebration. Many romantic brides decide to arrive to the garden by oar or motorboat, only for them the precious iron gate will be opened.
Just imagine quiet and blue waters of the lake, St. Julius Island and a violin that plays just for you.
A short lane with petals all around will lead you to villa entrance, where, between two columns covered by flowers you will have the perfect blessing for an unforgettable ceremony.
After the ceremony you could also decide to take the boat to have a short visit to St Julius Island where you could take some stunning wedding pictures that will be an indelible memory.
