L&V Delivery Box LUXE

New Delivery Box is finally ready! One of my favorite moments of the year is when I start creating the new packaging. I love to brainstorm about new themes, materials, color palette and papers to create a unique way to showcase my work that truly represent my taste.

No wonder I have such a good time in choosing the best quality, handmade products every year when there are so many good artisans in Italy and Europe! And, of course, to find props and accessories and finally styling and shooting them is one of my favorite things ever.

For my couples this time I opted for a natural wooden box, a gold USB key, some fine art prints and an Amalfi paper thank you card, sealed with wax. Give me all the classy and organic feels!

Another time, all of this to let you know how much you and your story mean to me. To let you know that I care.

Gemma + Mitchel - An exclusive destination wedding in Tuscany at Villa Mangiacane

Staying true to the luxury and art vibes of Villa Mangiacane, Gemma and Mitchel threw a summer wedding that fits right in with all that Italian glamour. The sweet couple flew from USA with their families and friends, to this epic venue nestled in the hearth of Chianti region. 

The bright and magnificent facade of Palazzo Machiavelli was the perfect setting for their intimate celebration, and with the expert guidance of Alessia, they created a sophisticated feel with a gorgeous ivory, pink, blush, green, white and gold color palette for the florals, wedding party attire, and decors.

After saying “I do”, the newlyweds and their guests enjoyed the views of the olive groves and the vineyards under the Loggia, during a typical italian aperitivo.The intimate party then continued under the stars, on the garden terrace. Paper lanterns as place cards, golden lights and organic blooms spilling onto the tables set a romantic scene beneath a canopy of lights. Surely this wedding was nothing short of perfection!

Rustic chic destination wedding at Borgo di Castelvecchio | Tuscany

If you are looking for a dreamy Tuscan venue in Italy for your wedding, Borgo di Castelvecchio is definitely your place! Set in the landscape of Val D’Orcia, facing Pienza and surrounded by the Brunello and Nobile vineyards, this location offers a pure tuscan experience. Lauren and Tom, with the precious help of Chiara from Weddings in Tuscany, exchanged vows on a scenic hillside in front of their closest friends and family and, after a pool side aperitivo, they made their way to the stunning outdoor reception, in the ancient courtyard under the shadow of a great helm. We loved so much the vibrant and colorful floral arrangements from Jardin Divers and the romantic atmosphere of that day!

FROM RUFFLED BLOG: “There is nothing more romantic then cruising through the rolling hills of Tuscany with your beau on your way to get your favorite gelato. Right? This beautiful wedding designed by Weddings in Tuscany has us weak in the knees with the bold orange and pink hues that perfectly compliment the sunny Italian demeanor. Set in an ancient Italian villa, this al fresco wedding is overflowing with the prettiest roses and hydrangeas, and suddenly we are packing our bags to go eat our weight in pasta and pizza in Tuscany. L&V Photography caught each vibrant detail that has us wishing for summer all over again!”

Alison + Greg - A chic al fresco wedding in pienza | Tuscany

Can there be anywhere more perfect for a place to marry than Tuscany? Alison and Greg chose an ancient monastery, Sant’Anna in Camprena, in the heart of Italy to tie the knot, and it did not disappoint! The location offered a perfect setting for their special day, from the getting ready to the reception, with its beautiful gardens, the cloister and the perfectly decorated rooms. Wedding day began with a yoga class in the olive groves for the bride and her friends, while some of the boys went on a Vespa tour of the countryside. For the ceremony Ali and Greg chose to hold their nuptials in the abbey church dedicated to Saint Anna, surrounded by family and friends, and then, the reception was held in the center of the monastery courtyard, between fruit trees and ancient walls creating the perfect romantic setting. The party was beyond beautiful, with two dramatic and perfectly decorated imperial tables, some great aperitivi and a stunning dinner setup, illuminated by strung bare bulbs. With the expert guidance of Alessia, they created a magical feel with a gorgeous pale blue, pink, yellow and green color palette for the florals.

From Alison: “We envisioned our wedding being a celebration of our love for each other, of course, and we wanted it to reflect who we are and what we appreciate about the life we have together. Some of our favorite perks of life include delicious food, incredible wine, dance-worthy music, excuses for celebrations, interesting culture, and memorable travel. What better place to combine those interests than an historic monastery in Italy! Some of our happiest memories have been made through our travels, I used to live in Italy, and our first trip together outside the US was to Italy... So the country had us smitten and was in our hearts from the start of the wedding planning process. Greg and I had been together for ten years prior to our wedding, so many of our family members and friends knew and loved each other beforehand; we wanted our wedding to be a time to show our appreciation to all of our loved ones who have supported us throughout the years. We wanted to create a wedding experience for our guests that made them feel like they were spoiled with a special and relaxing vacation, similar to special vacations Greg and I have enjoyed together, vacations filled with unique wines, long dinners, and loads of fun. “

Nicole + Chris | A charming intimate wedding in Florence

An intimate wedding with just seven guests can be a dream come true, especially if the main theme is “Romeo & Juliet”.

Nicole and Chris are just too cute for words and everything about their wedding was completely magical!

They chose Tuscany for their destination wedding and we cannot be more happier about this choice!

These two lovebirds had a sweet and intimate ceremony at the Four Season Chapel Room with their family standing by their side and then, the intimate party continued at Villa la Fonte, a stunning location in the countryside, surrounded by olive groves and breathtaking views of the hills just outside Florence.

With the expert guidance of Cindy Salgado, they created a sophisticated and romantic feel with a gorgeous burgundy, purple, and gold color palette for the florals, the table setting, the original Murano favors and invitations. 

Nicole and Chirs wedding was filled with love, laughter, and tons of candles. We cannot ask for more than that!
