For the welcome dinner they decided to have an informal evening by the private terrace of the Villa, overlooking the olive groves and vineyards, with pizza and Chianti wine served.
For their big day they chose the scenic Pieve di San Lazzaro a Lucardo as the dreamy setting for their ceremony, and with the expert help of Alessia they bring their romantic, natural, and elegant vibes together into one beautifully designed event.
Using a fall color palette of burgundy, peach, mauve, and gold, accented with organic foliage they crafted a unique reception table decor that paired beautifully with the charming look of the bulb festoon lights and candles in the venue’s garden.
A truly perfect rustic chic wedding that we oh so loved!

Together with their planner, Alessia B., and florists, they decided not to have too many decorations, as the location itself offered lots of stonework, terracotta pots and beautiful greenery that already perfectly decorated the place.
The flowers though, offered a chance to be bold: the earth tones of the venue are punctuated by bright accent colors like purple and burgundy, in the amazing stone pots during ceremony, and in the bouquets of the bride and bridesmaids.
The dinner was held in front of the ancient villa, with two imperial tables and string lights to create a sweet atmosphere, that screams La Dolce Vita charm.

Claire + Glenn - Tuscan wedding
Claire and Glenn got married in the heart of Tuscany, in a lovely venue where stunning landscapes, history, traditions and art live together. The day of their wedding a severe thunderstorm hit Florence, which is not so far. You can see that in the first pictures: when we got there the sky was dark and grey, and we had terrible updates coming from friends over there.
Did we worry about it for a minute? Not at all, because we knew we were in safe hands with the amazing team of Weddings in Italy . Not only did they set an amazing (amazing!) ceremony venue and dinner table, but they also made feel everyone of us comfortable because they can figure out something, even in the craziest last minute emergencies. So, thank you Rossana and Neve: we love to work with a great team.
Thank you Claire, for your trust, even when we made you walk with your heels in the vineyards, and thank you to the both of you, Claire and Glenn, because your intimate ceremony with your friends and family really touched our hearts deeply.
