Cindy and Adam's destination wedding in Italy was a two days celebration at 500 year old castle, nestled in the hills of Tuscany. The inspiration was a pure Italian fairytale experience, from the romantic outdoor ceremony with a large amount of soft and colored flowers framing the couple under a floral arch, celebrated in the gardens overlooking the hills, to the reception, an intimate table set with 2 imperial tables, situated between the Italian chapel and the ancient walls of the castle as a unique background. Every detail, from the light wooden candlesticks, the crystal chandeliers, a soft and colorful palette of the floral arrangements, a touch of gold from the mise en place to the final surprising fireworks moment, gave to the newlyweds and their guests the most incredible magical night experience.
