A Fall intimate wedding in Tuscany | Villa il Pozzo |

Elizabeth and Joseph, a lovely couple from Texas who share a passion for Italy, chose to have their destination wedding in Tuscany. They wanted to bring families and friends together for an intimate celebration under the autumnal setting of the beautiful Italian countryside and, with the expert guide of Alessia, they discover the stunning Villa il Pozzo, located in the heart of the Chianti region, between Florence and Siena. With a seasonal palette of yellow, orange, dark red, deep purple and shades of green and dusty blue accents, they crafted the perfect fall dream!

The couple exchanged vows on the villa's terrace, overlooking the beautiful valley. Rolling hills, green and beautiful breezes created the perfect dream wedding setting. For the reception they made their way to the panoramic garden where the dinner table showcased the countryside with a blue dusty runner that came down from the table until it touched the grass. The mixed flower and berry compositions resumed the colors of the palette while the candles and ribbons that bound the napkins were in orange. A string of lights crossed the whole table giving a warm light and a welcoming atmosphere. 

And the menu had all the traditional Italian dishes! Every course featured fresh seasonal products, such as sweet pumpkin cream with crispy pancetta, Pecorino di Fossa cheese, and Pici del Casentino with rabbit and crispy aubergines. 

After the cutting of the cake, a delicious millefeuille filled with chantilly cream and chocolate chips, the newlyweds took their first dance inside a gazebo covered in fairy lights. Just magical!

In loving memory of Paolo
