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.
