Spenser + Magnus - an intimate Lake Como wedding

When Spenser, a sweet American girl, met Magnus, a charming Swedish guy, it was love at first sight. Their life has always been on the move, but even if they now call Sweden home, they wanted to find somewhere really special to gather family and friends for their wedding day.

Villa Regina Teodolinda seemed the perfect place, with its breathtaking views over Lake Como, and its elegant and classy Italian atmosphere. 

Since it was an intimate wedding (yay for intimate weddings!), they could easily accomodate all of their guests at the villa and the whole day took place right there, from the getting ready, to the lovely civil ceremony in the terrace overlooking the Lake, to the reception, in the great room, with a perfectly decorated imperial table and some amazing food served by the catering. A quick move of the tables, and the room was ready for the party and dancing, and oh boy, they danced all night long with the loveliest smiles on their faces!

Enjoy this simple yet effortlessly chic wedding!

Venue: Villa Regina Teodolinda

Jen + Stuart - destination wedding in Lake Como

Jen and Stuart always knew they wanted to get married in Italy, but they couldn't decide where. Surely it must have been a place with mountains, because they love them, but also there needed to be a hint of Tuscan charm, because, you know, it screams Italy.

Luckily, Rossana from The Knot in Italy was brave enough to carry a little bit of Tuscany to the lake, with the amazing flowers from Florence-based flowers designers Jardin Divers  and a stunning table decor with lights all around (happy photographers!) and sweet wedding favors from Pastiglie Leone.

We feel so blessed to be part of events like this one, with the sweetest couples and families, gathered in amazing places - ceremony at Villa Balbianello: yes please! Thank you Jen and Stuart, thanks for the lovely words and smiles, and for having been so relaxed and easy going during your day. And thank you for sharing  your boat to the reception with us: we loved sharing with you your first moments as a married couple.
