LOVE WITH THE STYLE: AN ELEGANT WEDDING ON COMO LAKE

An elegant and stylish wedding on Como Lake. 50 guests, a couple - charismatic groom and a beautiful bride with two charming children who dreamed of a cheerful wedding weekend in their lovely Italy. She is a stylist and popular fashion blogger with classical taste and her own stable understanding of beauty. He is a successful businessman who is ready to realize the dreams of his beloved.

Aristocratic luxury of Como Lake, refined decor, famous Italian cuisine, favorite compere, bright performers and precise celebration program have become important components of this three-day project.
 
On the first day for the guests was organized dinner "Welcome to Italy" in a delicious family restaurant on the lake coast. Friendly atmosphere, jolly program of compere, friendly communication, funny surprises and dances created a great celebration mood. The morning of the second day the couple devoted to preparations and photo shoots. Meeting the guests with a glass of champagne under the sounds of a piano, a ceremony at the gazebo with the view of the lake, an aperitif to the accompaniment by a jazz band. Special attention should be paid to the design of the dinner: glassy mise en place with crystal candlesticks and tableware by Richard Ginori 1735. An intiment and cordial dinner in the halls of the Villa was replaced by disco near pool with stunning views of the night lake until dawn. On the third day, guests enjoyed excursions and boat ride as well as lunch in a famous restaurant and a beautiful romantic evening.

Wedding has been planning around 8 months and the main goal was to find the location of couple’s dream. As you know, September on Como Lake is booked for a year or two in advance but we found an exclusive place, so admired by the newlyweds. It was a private Villa, which is rarely rented for events. Magnificent two-level park, spacious luxury suites, panoramic views of the lake, private port with a motorboat, private chef and driver, designer interiors in Liberty style – everything was appareled in the decorations and the scenario of the celebration. Closer to the celebration date it was necessary to elaborate additional scenarios. This was due to the changing weather forecasts and the strong desire of newlyweds to celebrate the wedding under the open Italian sky.
 
Changes of the bride's dresses were thought out according to the scenario of the wedding day - from rich ruby to tender pearl gray, the groom sparkled in a velvet tuxedo of Burgundy wine color. The accent color of the wedding day was the autumn shades of nature and Burgundy and ruby colors of fresh flowers.
