The palette was the following: cornflower blue, polar wind, summer song, poppy red, fuchsia purple, autumn sunset, apricot wash, sunstruck, forest green, sap green.

From the bride: Asolo holds a special place in our hearts—the people, the charm, the artistry, the history, and, of course, its undeniable beauty. It’s called The City of a Hundred Horizons for a reason! When envisioning our wedding, we wanted it to feel like a natural extension of Asolo’s beauty, not something that overshadowed it. That intention guided every decision, from the save-the-dates and invitations to the flowers, place cards, tablescapes, and gift bags. Every detail reflected the essence of Asolo and our venue, Hotel Villa Cipriani. The invitations featured a watercolor design inspired by the artisan tile found in each guest room’s bathroom at the hotel—a detail the bride fell in love with on her very first visit. A vellum wrap overlay showcased a delicate watercolor of the hotel’s gardens and surrounding prosecco fields, setting the tone for the celebration to come. With a love for color, the bride envisioned vibrant yet harmonious hues woven throughout the wedding. A striking floral arch served as the ceremony’s focal point, bursting with shades of blue, orange, pink, and green against the hotel’s historic stone backdrop. This balance of tradition and fresh vibrancy carried into the reception, where blue and white toile tablecloths, elegant candelabras, and colorful candles complemented the hotel’s signature floral plates. At its core, the bride’s vision was simple: a wedding that was timeless, beautiful, colorful, and, above all, fun!

From the bride: The groom proposed during a trip to Newport, Rhode Island, planned for his birthday weekend. Since he’s never been one to enjoy celebrating his birthday, it was no surprise that he chose this moment to shift the focus elsewhere. On the drive from the Providence airport to Newport, he suggested a detour to the scenic Point Judith Lighthouse overlook, where he ultimately got down on one knee and proposed. The couple spent the rest of the weekend celebrating in Newport.

After a traditional Italian Aperitivo with finger foods passed around, it was time for the placé dinner. As the first course, Open Lasagna with local vegetables and buffalo ricotta, was served, followed by a Risotto with Polignano carrots, rosemary, scallops, and olive caviar. For the Main course, the guests had Roast beef tenderloin, vegetable and parmesan millefeuille, pink pepper sauce, and star anise. For those guests who prefer fish, the catering served a Seared sea bass fillet with a Cantabrico anchovy cream reduction and spicy turnip tops. The Eggplant Parmigiana was served to the vegetarian guests as the main course. A Strawberry sorbet was the perfect ending for a very Italian wedding dinner.

The floral arrangements for the ceremony and reception were thoughtfully designed, incorporating classic Italian blooms that added a touch of romance and charm. The stunning flowers, from the bride’s bouquet to the decorative arrangements throughout the villa’s gardens, complemented the natural beauty of the venue, creating an ethereal ambiance for the event. The bridal bouquet was rounded but naturally shaped with hydrangeas, roses, garden roses, spray roses, dahlias, delphinium, and a few greenery.

The evening concluded with a beautiful wedding cake that was not only a visual masterpiece but also a delicious treat for all the guests. Rachel and Colin decided to cut and then serve to their guests a traditional Italian Millefoglie stuffed with a delightful chantilly cream and decorated with mixed berries. The cake-cutting moment, set against the stunning backdrop of Villa Cipriani’s gardens, was a fitting end to a perfect day, symbolizing the couple’s love and the beginning of their new life together.

We wanted our wedding weekend to feel like an escape for our guests—an intimate celebration in a town that holds so much meaning for us. With a small and close-knit group, our goal was to have all of our favorite people fully immersed in Asolo’s charm, with plenty of prosecco, gelato, and tagliatelle at their fingertips. We told everyone that the hardest part was simply getting to Asolo—once they arrived, we’d take care of the rest. Asolo is a small town, and for one magical weekend, it felt like it belonged entirely to us. Everywhere we turned, we ran into loved ones, and by the end of the weekend, friends and family from all walks of life had formed new friendships. It was, without a doubt, the most unforgettable and magical experience of our lives.
