Few days after Cristina and Renzo’s wedding we come back to Madonna del Sasso church to show you very first images of Roberta and Omar’s wedding.
The marriage was held in this wonderful church above Lake Orta.
Roberta and Omar’s was a great wedding. Their guests will remember it for a long time!
Bride and Groom were really friendly, organization was perfect and they had an incredibly warm day. Temperature reached 32 degrees, so unusual to be beginning of April!
Roberta and Omar got married this morning. Sky was blue and the view from Madonna del Sasso church was simply spectacular! As we mentioned in other posts Madonna del Sasso church is a gem and it is well known to be on a rock overlooking the entire lake and its valley!

Spring has arrived and new wedding season on our lakes too!
Today we publish our first Just Married post of the season the section of our blog where you could read about our wedding in real time, the same day of the event!
Our readers will surely remember that last year we opened the season with Elisa and Tobia’s Just Married post in Madonna del Sasso church on Lake Orta.
Such an incredible coincidence!
Today’s Just Married opens with another wedding at Madonna del Sasso church: Cristina and Renzo’s one!
After wonderful season we had last year we hope that this lovely coincidence could be good luck for our bride and grooms and professionals working with us on our lakes.
Cristina and Renzo got married this late morning.
We can tell you about this thanks to Piero Gatti photographer from Studio Foto Smile in Baveno. He gave us the pictures of this wonderful event!
We’ve already spoken about Piero Gatti. He works in Stresa and on Lake Maggiore but today he reached Orta with great results as you can see!!
Cristina and Renzo come from Milan and they simply love Lake Orta.
This is the reason they decided to get married in one of the most stunning churches of this lake: Madonna del Sasso church.
Madonna del Sasso is not just a wonderful church with stunning pieces of arts inside but it also has a breathtaking view on all Lake Orta.
Cristina choose for her bouquet her favorite flowers: white tulip!
As she wanted we created for her a round shaped bouquet which matched her dress. Many tulips with little mixed leaves of Pittosporum and little flowers of Selaginella. Continue Reading »
LMW planners team on Nov 8th 2010 Lake Maggiore Weddings
Today we would love to tell you about Lisa and Darren’s wedding. It was surely one of the best event on Lake Maggiore this year. Lisa and Darren visited the Lake last year with our planner Valentina and they fell in love with Villa Rusconi at first sight!
They thought it could be the perfect place for their Italian wedding on the Lake and from the very first moment they had some great ideas to make it even more perfect.
When I first met Lisa and Darren I was touched by their enthusiasm. They such a nice and solar couple. When I showed them Villa Rusconi Lisa’s eyes sparkled and I knew that that was the right the right place for them!
Then almost a year wonderful year of planning followed. And I have to admit we developed a very special relationship that ended to consider each other like good and old friends!
Valentina
We wanted our wedding to be relaxed but an experience our guests would never forget and I think we achieved this 110 percent! Our friends are still raving about it now!
The setting of course is stunning and couldn’t fail to impress.
Lisa

Today is Friday 17th and weddings do not stop on Lake Orta! This afternoon is the turn of Nicole and Euan.
Nicole is Australian and Euan is Scottish. They decided not to care about Italian superstition of Friday 17th!
Nicole and Euan’s wedding was held in the romantic garden of Villa Bossi in Orta San Giulio.
Nicole’s color scheme was white and blue because she loved blue but also to celebrate St. Andrew’s Cross Scottish flag.
White and blue were just everywhere: in bridesmaids and flower girls dresses and in all floral arrangements. Have a look to Nicole’s bouquet, a long teardrop bouquet with white roses and blue gentianas.
To our couple who decided to not care about Friday 17th Italian superstition our best wishes for a new life full of joy and happiness!

We tell you often about couple coming from all over the world to get married on our lakes.
But today we will speak you about a 100% Italian couple: Cinzia and Giò.
For their wedding Cinzia and Gio’ chose the tony little church of Madonna di Luzzara on the hills of Lake Orta. Madonna di Luzzara is a very ancient church in the countryside sourrounded by green lawns and woods among birch and linden.
This is absolutely a bucolic atmosphere for a wedding just like Cinzia and Giò wanted.
Church floral arrangement was really special. It was based on spheres of different dimensions enriched with dozen of Avalanche white roses.
And again Avalanche roses were in Cinzia’s scepter bouquet.
The party went on to St Julius Island but we stop here for now with few images taken just few hours ago. We will come back soon speaking about Cinzia and Giò’s wedding with more photos and many little details of this poetic wedding on Lake Orta.

Today I have the pleasure to introduce you a lovely Italian couple: Marialisa and Matteo.
Their wedding was a real mid summer wedding arranged between Mountains and Lakes.
First the ceremony on Church of Madonna del Boden and then down to Stresa on Lake Maggiore shores.
Church of Madonna del Boden is located on the road leading to small village of Ornavasso (close to Verbania – Piemonte). It climbs on top of one of the most spectacular Alps mountain: Monte Massone. From Mt. Massone peak the view is gorgeous. You can see Mt. Rosa, Mt. Weissmiess, Mt. Adamello and Mt. Bernina. On South view runs over River Po Plain and on 5 lakes such as Lake Orta and Lake Maggiore. Just amazing!
Church of Madonna del Boden has been built on 500 mt of altitude right inside chestnuts woods. A fresh oasis that Marialisa and Matteo simply loved during the hot August day of their wedding. Continue Reading »

What is the perfect flower for a Winter Wedding?
According our opinion there is no doubt! Helleborus Niger: the Christmas Rose!
It is romantic, elegant, old fashioned. It is the ideal choice for a perfect winter wedding bouquet. It is made up of five petals around a golden corolla.
Helleborus is an ancient flower for its medical characteristics, there are many legends about this. One of those tells that those flowers come out the first time from the snow by a Bethlehem young girl’s tears that could give any present to Christ Child.
Christmas Rose is sometimes called the Snow or Winter Rose. It was very used in 1800 in Great Britain and then forgotten. It was re-discovered in the last few years becoming a symbol of stile elegance but also simplicity and naturalness.
Helleborus’ flowers boom right in Winter between December and February and the last for long time on its plant. Most know color is white but there are also beautiful hybrid rose, purple and violet. They are just perfect for a bridal bouquet or bridesmaids ones. Those flowers could be also used for refined and little centerpieces. Continue Reading »
