For their Italian destination wedding Sofia and Martin decided to gather family and friends from all over the world to Borgo Sant'Ambrogio, a true heaven on earth like venue nestled among the Tuscan hills of Pienza, near Siena.

The garden of the wine estate hosted both the ceremony and the reception, serving both as a couple session backdrop and as an incredible venue for all the guests and the newlyweds.

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.
