Italian Intimate Wedding
Dreaming of an Intimate Italian Setting
From the very start, Danielle and Ryan envisioned their wedding day as an intimate affair. Having experienced the grandeur of numerous weddings through Danielle's lens as a photographer, the couple craved a simpler, more personal celebration. Their shared love for travel and Ryan's passion for gastronomy led them to the picturesque landscapes of Italy—a destination that promised romance and culinary delight.
They found the perfect venue at Borgo Bastia Creti, a place that seemed to leap from the pages of a romantic novel with its olive groves and charming courtyards. The venue set the stage for a wedding that combined European elegance with the rustic charm of the Italian countryside.
Culinary Excellence and Enchanting Decor
The wedding itself was a feast for the senses. The couple’s wedding planner connected them with a fantastic local chef and winery, ensuring the menu highlighted the best of Italian cuisine. The standout dish, truffle gnocchi, alongside an array of fine wines and a traditional millefoglie cake, left guests raving about the meal for months to come.
As a lover of nature and florals, Danielle placed special emphasis on the wedding’s floral arrangements. They opted for minimal yet stunning decorations that complimented the natural beauty of their venue. The talented florist, Rebecca, crafted organic-shaped bouquets and arrangements that beautifully melded with the wedding's color scheme. The decor was further enhanced by handmade blue linen sourced for the main reception table, abundant candles, and string lights, all of which contributed to the romantic and cozy ambiance of the celebration.
Special Touches That Tell Their Story
Danielle, a professional wedding photographer, knew exactly how she wanted every detail captured. From the ring pop used during the proposal to the custom-designed engagement ring incorporating pearls, each element was thoughtfully chosen to reflect their personal story. Ryan wore custom socks adorned with their cats’ images, adding a quirky yet sweet touch to his attire. Danielle’s accessories included a ceramic floral headpiece and a vintage blue beaded purse she picked up in New York, tying back to their engagement story.
Danielle and Ryan’s wedding wasn’t just a celebration of their love; it was a showcase of their personalities, from the thoughtful decor to the carefully curated playlists. Each aspect of their wedding day was infused with meaning and joy, making it a truly unforgettable experience for everyone involved.
