The bride Svetlana had always dreamed of a wedding that felt timeless, elegant, and effortlessly romantic. When choosing the wedding palette, she wanted something that would blend seamlessly with the breathtaking Tuscan landscape yet still feel luxurious and refined. She found her answer in a combination of soft whites, muted greens, and touches of gold—a palette that spoke of purity, nature, and classic sophistication.

Svetlana and Yervant’s wedding at the historic Villa Corsini a Mezzomonte was a seamless blend of Armenian heritage and Tuscan elegance, a celebration where tradition met timeless Italian beauty. With the expert guidance of Natascia Zignani Weddings, they envisioned a day that honored their deep-rooted traditions while embracing the beauty of the place they had fallen in love with—Tuscany, with its rolling hills, timeless charm, and romantic atmosphere. The reception embraced a warm, intimate, and elegant aesthetic, with golden candlelit tables, delicate floral arrangements, and subtle nods to Armenian culture.

[field title=”Special Detail #1″]In Armenian wedding traditions, one charming custom involves the groom placing the bride’s shoes on her feet, symbolizing his commitment to care for and support her throughout their marriage. This intimate moment often replaces the modern “first look,” as it is considered a meaningful gesture of love and responsibility. The act is sometimes accompanied by playful traditions, such as the bride’s family hiding the shoes and the groom having to “ransom” them with gifts or money, adding a touch of humor and joy to the celebration. This tradition beautifully blends symbolism, love, and cultural heritage, making it a cherished part of Armenian weddings.[/field]

During the ceremony, the couple took part in the beautiful Armenian tradition of wearing crowns, known as “khoyt” or “crowns of unity.” These crowns, often intricately designed, symbolize the couple’s roles as king and queen of their new family, as well as their equal partnership and shared responsibility in marriage.
