Slow luxury in Tuscany: a wedding immersed in Elegance
Set at a 17th-century luxury villa just outside Florence, this wedding event captures the quiet confidence of an Italian summer celebration, cinematic, tactile, and intentionally unhurried. The garden ceremony unfolded beside a centuries-old fountain, harp music weaving through the cypress-scented air. Guests sipped chilled martinis and shared wood-fired pizza during aperitivo hour, as the sun softened across the hills. Tables were dressed in sage-toned linens layered with ivory and deep burgundy florals, taper candles, and grapes spilling between courses. The atmosphere lingered like a memory. Understated yet decadent, every element was chosen to evoke rhythm over spectacle beauty that feels lived-in, not performed. As dusk fell, the couple slipped into a black vintage Burton, Florence glowing behind them. A love letter to Tuscan ritual, captured in its most elegant form. Photos Linda Puccio
Lake Como Destination Wedding | Villa Cipressi
This Villa Cipressi wedding was designed for a couple who wanted to create something deeply personal—refined, modern, and effortlessly beautiful. Set on the edge of Lake Como, this celebration was rooted in intimacy, atmosphere, and editorial restraint. The Brief: luxury destination wedding in Italy that didn’t follow trends. Every detail was intentional. From bespoke stationery in textured cotton to the architectural bridal look and minimal floral design, the mood was fashion-forward yet timeless. The color palette echoed the villa’s natural stone, soft greens, and candlelit warmth—never competing, always complementing. Villa Cipressi, with its botanical gardens and cascading terraces, offered a naturally cinematic setting for the ceremony and reception. Light moved through the day like a design element—dancing across the water, drifting through ancient windows, and casting sculptural shadows on the stone steps. As a Lake Como wedding planner, my role was to translate their vision into an experience that felt calm, confident, and complete. The design never tried too hard. It spoke softly, with intention. This wedding is a reflection of what’s possible when couples choose experience over excess. For those considering a destination wedding in Lake Como, Villa Cipressi delivers elegance not just in its architecture but in the way it holds space—for beauty, for emotion, for something unforgettable. For the couple who doesn’t follow trends.
