[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]

This wedding was designed with the stunning Tuscan countryside in mind. In the spring the rolling hills are many shades of green. The bride wanted to embrace a vibrant “primavera” color story with warm greens used in the attire and greenery as an anchor.

[field title=”Food & Drink”]Guests were treated to delicious Tuscan wines and Prosecco in addition to an extensive list of cocktails including the well known Aperol Spritz and Margaritas. Espresso martinis were a crowd favorite!

They dined on beef tartare, asparagus risotto, filet mignon and mashed potatoes. Dessert was an Italian Mille-Feuille cake topped with cream and fresh berries.

[field title=”Florals & Decor”]The florals were fashioned in an organic way to complement the setting of each area that was used for the wedding celebration. For the ceremony lush colorful blooms provided a meadow for the wedding party’s entrance which also wrapped around the platform where they exchanged vows. From the castle ruins guests were transported to Villa Sant’Anna for cocktails on the lawn and dinner in the greenhouse. A floral arch next to the outdoor bar provided the backdrop for the die cut calligraphed butterfly escort cards. Yellow and white striped patio umbrellas and floral tablecloths continued the color story.

As the sun set over the hills of the Val d’Orcia Valley, guests entered the greenhouse for dinner through a lavish floral arch.

For the dinner, long tables were set with feminine layers on top of floral tablecloths. Fresh arrangements were placed along the tables and shades of pastel taper candles were tucked in between them. Pink stemware added whimsy to the place settings while
table numbers were placed in fresh pears and lemons.

Calligraphed and scrolled place cards were affixed to the bottom of the dinner menus.
Along the back side of the greenhouse, a dramatic velvet peach colored drape served as the backdrop for the band and dancing.

Climbing lush floral enhanced the 2-sided bar, lounge and dance spaces. Greenery adorned the three massive iron candelabras hung above. [/field]
[field title=”Wedding Cake”]The venue’s pastry chef prepared the classic Italian Mille-Feuille cake as part of the reception. The layered cake topped with whipped cream and fresh berries was 30″ in diameter![/field]
[field title=”Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs”]The string quartet played some of the couples favorite contemporary songs for the seating of guests and processional. Ellis entered to “Chasing Cars” by Snow Patrol and Camryn entered to the song “Lover” by Taylor Swift.[/field]
