In Tuscany many locations are so evocative that little else is needed, just the right complementary touches here and there. Less is more. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Since we haven't been able to create new weddings we have had plenty of time to enjoy our prior work. I am pleased that it has all aged very well like this wedding from 2014 where the theme was rustic chic. While we are inspired by what is current, the goal is to be timeless nonetheless. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I love to collect and when the theme of this wedding was a jumble of Italian ceramics I turned every flea market and re-sale shop that I could find upside down to unearth what amounted to 50 yards of hand painted Italian ceramics. It took a while and it was a labor of love. But I had fun and have fond memories of doing it. To know me is to know that I am always up for a good challenge.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Everything about this wedding was so pulled together, so chic and so romantic. Martha Stewart Weddings jumped all over this wedding the moment they saw the gorgeous pics by . It is easy to see why.

In Italy the seated dinner is an important part of the wedding day. Food is always central to everything here and the only activity allowed while eating is talking. There is nothing more Italian than good food, good wine and good company. Cin Cin!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Creative table scapes bring the magic to an event. Wouldn't you love to be seated at this table?

Italy may be famous for its rich history, incomparable art and architecture, fashion, wine, and cuisine. But before all that Mother Nature doted it with abundant seas, mountains, coastlines, and these ancient volcanic lakes. It's almost embarrassing that one location should be blessed with so much.

We're loving floral bridesmaids dresses for garden weddings. They look so fresh and decorative.

I smile every time I see these chairs. For this Amalfi Coast wedding the bride was inspired by the blue of the Mediterranean sea but wanted to use it in an unexpected way. This lead to the Chinese porcelain and a strict blue and white palette where only the flowers would provide a stunning burst of color.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I scoured every flea market and resale shop for months to pull together a large enough collection of vintage plates and vases. Along the way I found these chairs that matched the theme perfectly and I knew instantly that we needed to use them for the ceremony.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Scroll through the photos to see how the theme pulled together and was carried throughout the wedding day to even the smallest details, even my dress... 😊

As if the slow rolling pandemic weren't enough, it's been dreary, cold and rainy here for a few weeks now. I needed a hit of the Amalfi summer sun and I think you all know what I mean.

One more look at this wedding ceremony that was set on an ancient tennis court inside of a sprawling Renaissance garden in the Florentine hills. Italy provides the most unexpected and breathtaking locations for wedding celebrations. You just couldn't make this stuff up!

These pretty blossoms on the dinner tables recalled the Rosenthal porcelain chargers and bread plates. They were the inspiration for the overall wedding colors and esthetic.

Does this look like a tennis court to you? Villa Palmieri dates to the early 1400's while tennis was officially codified around 1873 in England from a popular game played in France since the 1100's. The vast gardens of the villa, including this tennis court, were so enticing that Queen Victoria stayed for three extended visits.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But who knew that this clay court would make for such a charming ceremony venue?

I want to live in this world. I'd while away my days sipping Aperol Spritz while laughing with friends ... or even just doing the New York Times crossword puzzle alone with my dog. Is that too much to ask? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This stately garden needed little embellishment to make it into a dreamy cocktail hour location for the wedding.

Our latest posts have all been about the welcome dinner in Tuscany and here is one last look before moving on. Most weddings in Tuscany last three days and the bride and groom and their families are always nervous at the beginning. Will the guests deem the long travel and expense worth it? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
First impressions are so important and so kicking the festivities off with a well planned welcome dinner is key. It will set the mood for the following three days to come and signal to everyone that they can relax, they are in good hands.
