A Two-Day Destination Wedding at Borgo di Castelvecchio in Tuscany: Holly & William’s Romantic Celebration

Planning a destination wedding in Tuscany? Holly and William’s unforgettable two-day celebration at the charming Borgo di Castelvecchio is a dreamy example of why this picturesque location is perfect for couples seeking romance, history, and breathtaking views.

Day 1: Pizza Party in True Tuscan Style
What better way to welcome your guests than with a sunset pizza party in the heart of Tuscany? Holly and William kicked off their wedding weekend with a relaxed yet chic pizzata in one of Borgo di Castelvecchio’s rustic courtyards. Long wooden tables covered in checkered tablecloths set the tone for a classic Italian evening. Guests enjoyed freshly baked pizza, a vintage gelato cart brimming with Italian flavors, and the magical glow of the golden hour as the sun set behind the rolling Tuscan hills. The atmosphere was warm, intimate, and brimming with authentic Tuscan charm—an ideal way to bring together friends and family before the big day.

Day 2: The Wedding Day – Rustic Elegance and Timeless Beauty
On the morning of the wedding, Holly and William prepared in separate areas of the Borgo, each surrounded by their closest loved ones. Holly spent the morning getting ready with her adorable twin daughters, while William shared quiet moments with his groomsmen.

The ceremony took place in a stunning garden with panoramic views of the Tuscan countryside. A rustic floral arch, elegantly decorated with white roses and greenery, framed the couple as they exchanged vows in front of their guests. The soft breeze and the peaceful atmosphere made this outdoor ceremony even more special.

After the “I do’s,” guests gathered poolside for a refreshing aperitivo, enjoying local wines, cocktails, and delicious Tuscan bites, all while taking in yet another breathtaking view of the surrounding vineyards and olive groves.

Dinner Under the Stars: A Magical Tuscan Evening
As the sun dipped below the horizon, guests moved to the main courtyard, where a long imperial table had been beautifully set under the sprawling branches of a centuries-old tree. String lights, flickering candles, and lush floral centerpieces created a romantic, fairy-tale ambiance. The laughter, heartfelt toasts, and clinking of glasses filled the courtyard as everyone celebrated Holly and William’s love late into the night.

This two-day destination wedding at Borgo di Castelvecchio perfectly captured the essence of a Tuscan wedding: authentic, romantic, and unforgettable. From the laid-back charm of the pizza party to the elegance of the wedding day itself, every detail was thoughtfully curated to create a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

A Romantic Destination Wedding at Villa Medicea di Lilliano, Florence

If you're dreaming of a destination wedding in Italy, Villa Medicea di Lilliano in Florence offers the perfect blend of elegance, history, and Tuscan charm. I had the pleasure of capturing Catherine and Jordan’s stunning wedding at this enchanting venue, and every detail was straight out of a fairytale.

The day began with the bride and groom getting ready in separate suites, surrounded by their bridesmaids and groomsmen. The joyful anticipation filled the air as delicate, elegant wedding invitations set the tone for what was to come.

The ceremony took place in the villa’s picturesque garden, with lush greenery and panoramic views framing the couple as they exchanged their vows. The floral decorations were a true celebration of color, featuring soft blue tones, sunny yellows (enhanced by playful lemon accents), crisp whites, fresh greens, and a warm terracotta orange touch that added a hint of rustic charm.

Following the ceremony, guests enjoyed a classic Italian aperitivo in the villa’s scenic park, sipping prosecco and sampling local delicacies as the sun dipped low over the Tuscan hills. The reception took place on the villa’s panoramic terrace, where a single, stunning imperial table was set beneath twinkling candlelight. Elegant candelabras and floral centerpieces created a romantic, timeless ambiance that left everyone in awe.

This Villa Medicea di Lilliano wedding was a perfect example of Tuscan sophistication, combining refined aesthetics, unforgettable views, and heartfelt moments!

Mulisa + Brice - A glamorous destination wedding at Tenuta Corbinaia

Glamorous, sophisticated, and enchanting: Mulisa and Brice's wedding at Tenuta Corbinaia couldn't be summed up differently! The vision of the couple was for a refined event, in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, both for themselves, their children, families, and friends. The pastel color palette was the guiding aesthetic of the day: light blue, antique pink, peach, light orange, pampas cream, and a touch of green adorned every floral detail of the decorations. The bride's preparation started in the center of Florence and ended at the estate, a 19th century farmhouse is located in the heart of the luxuriant Chianti landscape. Against the backdrop of rolling hills and vineyards, the bride and groom exchanged vows, surrounded by loved ones, in the sprawling garden, beneath a canopy of azure skies.

Following the ceremony and a sparkling aperitivo, guests gathered for a reception under the open sky, where rounded tables were adorned with floral colorful centerpieces, golden candlesticks, and wicker chairs added a rustic-chic touch to the overall aesthetic.

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!
