Juliette + Robin - wedding at Villa Sparina
We feel so privileged when we can work so close to our home, with such amazing weddings!
Juliette and Robin are from England and Germany, but they live and work in Switzerland. The love Italian food and wine, and thought an Italian resort among the vineyards was the perfect venue for their three-day long wedding weekend. Villa Sparina offered all of that, with its breathtaking scenery, ivy-covered ancient buildings and dramatic caves where the dinner was held.
Their amazing planners, Chic Weddings in Italy created for our couple a dreamy ceremony setting

Villa Sparina offered all of that, with its breathtaking scenery, ivy-covered ancient buildings and dramatic caves where the dinner was held.
Their amazing planners, Chic Weddings in Italy created for our couple a dreamy ceremony setting under the trees, a first rustic happy hour, and an amazing black tie event for the night. The venue's caterer spoiled the guests with the most creative food and wine choices, and a great music band, Damien McFly, brought everyone (and we mean everyone) on the dance floor for a night that was nothing short of amazing.
So, if vineyards, rustic chic style and outdoor ceremonies are your thing, be sure not to miss this!
Thank you Juliette and Robin, and the amazing team of our dearest Chic Weddings in Italy.

Roberta + Domenico - Romantic courtyard wedding at Castello di Paderna
Sometimes we wonder if the right clients find us or if it's the other way round. Anyway, with Roberta and Domenico we felt that it was a perfect match. Because, you can only imagine how happy we are when in beautiful old castles with a rustic touch, between flowers, both real, by the always amazing Il Profumo dei Fiori, and printed, on the gorgeous stationery by Ila Malu.

Pink, blush and lavender silk, the most-fabulous-wedding-dress-ever, and a dreamy table setting made all the rest.
Also, we love to work with a great team, because it's so much easy, and way funnier. So thank you to each one of you, and thank you to Roberta and Domenico, for the smiles, and the smiles between the tears, which are our absolute fav.

Aurélia + François - destination wedding in Italy
Just imagine a French couple, who wants to get married in a little church up on a steep paved road in Switzerland, but also wants to party with in an old, fascinating Italian palace, with Italian food and wine. Done? Well, you have just imagined Aurélia and François' wedding day, planned to perfection by the super talented Laura Dova, with the help of amazing vendors like Fiori da Favola and Paola Bianchera Make Up.

This melting pot of countries, traditions and languages invaded the little village of Castello Cabiaglio, and with the help of the team at Palazzo Ronchelli, everyone had a place to stay for the night right there, among the Italian mountains and not far by the lovely lake Lugano.
And oh, the view when you reached the church in Morcote, Switzerland! The guests were so amazed they really couldn't help but staying a little more, taking some more pictures and simply enjoying the breathtaking views with a warm sun on their faces. Little did they know about what they would have found at the reception: dramatic and perfectly decorated imperial tables, some great aperitivi and a stunning dinner setup, and an all night long party.
Maddalena + Leonardo - a chic vintage wedding at Villa Gaia Gandini
The first time we set our eyes on Maddalena and Leonardo, in a crazy busy event in Milan, we thought they were one of the most stylish couples we've ever seen. In the following months, not only they confirmed our first impression, but we discovered they are also the most genuine and creative souls. As Maddalena is a super talented illustrator, she wanted to something special for her wedding, so she not only created by herself the sweetest stationery

In the following months, not only they confirmed our first impression, but we discovered they are also the most genuine and creative souls. As Maddalena is a super talented illustrator, she wanted to something special for her wedding, so she not only created by herself the sweetest stationery, but also decided to paint a little portrait for anyone of the guest. That's how we love our couples. Creative and patient, willing to make an effort to have the wedding of their dreams.
The setting of the day was Villa Gaia Gandini, a magnificent Italian villa with a river that runs just at the end of the garden.
Blush, pink and lavender for the bridesmaids, a dress that seems directly out of a fairytale, lots of personal details and the craziest dances at the end of the day. Enjoy, and get inspired!
La prima volta che abbiamo visto Maddalena e Leonardo, in un affollatissimo evento a Milano, abbiamo pensato che avessero davvero stile. Nei mesi successivi, non solo hanno confermato la nostra prima impressione, ma si sono rivelate due persone davvero genuine e incredibilmente creative. Maddalena è una bravissima illustratrice, e con l'idea di creare qualcosa di speciale per il matrimonio, non solo ha realizzato stupende partecipazioni, ma ha dipinto un piccolo ritratto su cavalletto per ognuno degli invitati, come segnaposto. Ecco le coppie che ci piacciono. Creative, pazienti, e con la voglia di fare uno sforzo in più per il loro giorno speciale.
La location scelta per la giornata è stata Villa Gaia Gandini, una splendida villa proprio sul naviglio grande.
Oltre a questo, colori pastello nei toni del rosa per i vestiti delle damigelle, un abito che sembra uscito direttamente da una fiaba, dettagli curati e personalissimi, e danze sfrenate a fine giornata.
Buona visione, e buona ispirazione!
Lucia + Andrea - an outdoor, relaxed wedding at Cascina Boscaccio
Sometimes it happens. It happens that you meet a couple who can really enjoy their wedding day, and the mood is like the one you would expected at a party with friends. It happens that they make their wedding truly their own, with details created by themselves, with love and care, to reflect their personality.
Qualche volta succede. Succede che una coppia si diverta davvero il giorno del matrimonio, e che l'atmosfera sia rilassata e gioiosa, come quella che ci si aspetta ad una festa fra amici. Succede che il matrimonio rifletta davvero la loro personalità, che sia pieno di dettagli, di minuzie pensate, scelte con amore, condivise.
Certo, la coppia in questione dev'essere speciale. Li avete già conosciuti, su queste pagine: Lucia e Andrea, e Memole, sempre con loro, che avevamo fotografato in una tiepida giornata primaverile fra campi e laghi, e che ci hanno emozionato ancora una volta per quanto siano perfetti l'uno per l'altra. Come direbbero loro, "come pane e burro".

It happens that they make their wedding truly their own, with details created by themselves, with love and care, to reflect their personality.
Of course, to have all of this you need to have a special couple. But we already knew them and knew they are one amazing pair. Lucia and Andrea, and their dog Memole. We shot their engagement session on a warm spring day, and on their wedding day we got emotional once again seeing how they look perfect together. As they would say, like bread and butter.
