Summer is always favourite wedding season for most of the couples who decide to get married on Lake Como.
Because of good weather, but also of beautiful colors of the Lake at this time of year.
Most of the times, the wedding details are mainly focused on chosen colour theme.
It can be interesting to know that lake Como summer season doesn’t have only strong colours, but also incredible perfumes!
This is what my bride Suzanne wanted to emphasize on her wedding day with Calixte in Varenna and Cernobbio.

Suzanne, who is a great perfectionist, wanted something really special: not only colors, but also summer fragrances diffused all around.

She loved the idea of feeling the scent of summer and freshness everywhere: from the bouquet to the Church of Varenna and also on the dinner tables. Continue Reading »

Outdoor ceremony was dominated by an impressive red and cream arch, a romantic aisle of red petals, red and cream buttonholes and gorgeous bright bouquets: total red for the bride and red and cream for the three bridesmaids, two of them are Julia’s sisters!

The blue accent was used especially on Julia’s bridesmaid dresses: long and very chic…

Wir sind ein ganz gemischte Team von Wedding Plannern und haben endlich auch eine Organisatorin gefunden, welche den deutsch-sprechenden Markt betreut. Wir alle haben ganz unterschiedliche berufliche Hintergründe, kommen aus dem Blumenbereich, aus dem Tourismus oder Britta eben aus dem internationalen Projektmanagement, und so ergänzt man sich prima, wenn zu diskutierende Organisationsfragen auftreten. Immerhin lebt Britta nun schon seit 10 Jahren in Italien und genauso lange plant sie auch Hochzeiten.

Für und mit den jeweiligen Hochzeitspaaren wollen wir nun die Seen und ihre verschiedene Reize entdecken und die Besonderheiten aufzeigen.

Warum sind gerade die italienischen Seen so beliebt für Hochzeiten?
Ganz generell ist zu sagen, dass man an den Seen den Wunsch nach Wasser gleichzeitig erfüllen kann, wie das Wandern in alpinen Bergen, Schatten spendenden Wäldern und immer weilt der Blick hinunter in das kühle Nass. Überall liegen kleine Ortschaften, in denen noch der typische italienische Lebensstil anzutreffen ist. Regionale lombardische und piemontesische Küche runden die besonders herzliche Atmosphäre ab.

Varenna is very popular on Lake Como for Catholic Weddings.
And its fame it’s easily understandable: San Giorgio Church it’s absolutely fascinating and, above all, this is one of the few churches of Lake Como which allow to marry the non – residents.
Ancient, charming and impressive at the same time, this masterpiece lies in the heart of the village and represents the focus of the place itself.

Varenna it’s reachable by private boat or ferry from most of the other towns of the Lake.
This means that although Varenna is lovely you can decide to spend your wedding holidays not necessary based in Varenna itself.

Helen and Steve, our elegant Asian couple for example, chose to stay in Bellagio with their guests at the well renowned Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni.
After their ‘getting ready’ and some beautiful shoots, they reached Varenna by boat: a unique occasion to enjoy the lake!

Once arrived in the main Varenna square, a long stair leads you in front of the main entrance.
This is a perfect setting for the wedding decorations: white and long aisle, flowers and candles create a special and evocative atmosphere.
How can you forget the moment when you step inside the church accompanied by the wedding march notes?
I think this is one of the most touching and unforgettable moments in our life….
Crossing the aisle, hearing the people you love murmuring excited, somebody’s crying and…finally you reach the altar for your forever promise of respect and love.
The sound of the Ave Maria, the exchange of the rings, every moment will remain in your mind for the rest of your life.

At the end of the ceremony you cannot miss the petals through as good luck from all of your friends and relatives.
Now that you’re married, the party moment should begin.

Helen and Steve, decided to go back to Bellagio by private boat and have their wedding reception, welcoming their guests at Villa Serbelloni. Continue Reading »

Most of our couples choose spring and summer periods for their wedding day and this a wonderful choice for sure.
Although, I can say that autumn colours, light and atmosphere are something really unique too…

On the 28th of October American Carolyn and David came over to celebrate their intimate and charming wedding in Varenna, lake Como.

We suggested a civil ceremony in the morning followed by a lovely lunch on the open air.

The weather was sunny and warm and Carolyn didn’t need anything to cover her shoulders showing her beautiful bridal dress!

The civil ceremony was held on the small lake view terrace with the sound of a violin in the background.

Bride and Groom were both beautiful and moved. They promised each other endless love looking at the immensity of the Lake. Continue Reading »

Last year Bianca and Mills chose San Martino’s church in Perledo above Varenna for their religious ceremony. Dalia and Edwin have opted for parish church of San Giorgio right in Varenna’s hystorical center.
The big church was established in 1313. It has three naves, the external one is embellished with a wonderful fresco showing life of St. Christopher.

Varenna is one of the most unique villages on Lake Como East coast.
Little roads leads to the lake shore, they are simply beautiful. Here everything was kept as it was, it is the perfect setting for romantic and old fashioned style wedding pictures.
