[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]The bride and groom had always been captivated by the enchanting beauty and the warmth of Italy during their past visits. They dreamt of a wedding that would weave together a whimsical, soft, and romantic ambiance, while also creating an intimate atmosphere where they and their loved ones could immerse themselves in the magic of Italy. The key element was choosing a charming Italian villa nestled in the hills of Positano. There were breathtaking views and lush gardens that provided the perfect backdrop for their love story.

[section title=”The Details”]
[field title=”Food & Drink”]We hosted our welcome dinner at La Tagliata in Positano. We chose to serve classic mom-and-pop Italian dishes that were all prepared with locally grown produce. Guests were welcomed with glasses of sparkling prosecco, accompanied by delightful appetizers. What followed was a symphony of courses that was never ending. The vegetables, fresh from La Tagliata’s garden, were paired with homemade pastas and meats. The wine and limoncello flowed freely and were both crafted in house. On our wedding day, we continued the celebration with a full open bar. We offered a four-course meal that was a true indulgence. We began with sweet melon draped in Parma ham and tender buffalo cherry mozzarella. The first course was a creamy lemon fettuccini, delicately crowned with toasted pistachios. Then came the second course, a tender filet mignon, perfectly seared and bathed in a rich mushroom and green pepper Aglianico sauce. And finally, dessert was a sweet serenade of wedding cake and an assortment of delicate Italian cookies.[/field]
[field title=”Florals & Decor”]We’ve always been enchanted by lush floral designs, so we filled every corner of our venue with beautiful blooms. We wanted our reception to feel like a dreamy garden where flowers floated gently above us, creating an atmosphere of romance and magic for the evening. Our floral arrangements were created using large English roses, Delphiniums, white Rununculus, and Italian Ruscus greenery.[/field]
[field title=”Wedding Cake”]We loved our four-tier wedding cake! Inside was a rich red velvet, while the outside was adorned with a delicate Chantilly layer of icing.[/field]
[field title=”Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs”]Choosing the officiant for our wedding felt like the most natural decision. My husband and I wanted someone at the altar who could bring us a sense of peace amidst all the emotions of the day. We asked our best friend, who had been by our side for over a decade, to officiate. He guided us through the wedding ceremony with such warmth, elegance, and heartfelt humor. We could not have asked for a more perfect voice to lead our ceremony.

We discovered the incredible professional wedding singer, Louis Vlahakis, who truly set the perfect tone for our special day. He played a stunning rendition of “Until I Found You” for the processional, got everyone moving with “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” for the recessional, and made our first dance enchanting with “Heaven.” When he surprised us with “Take Me Home, Country Roads” at the reception, it turned into a heartfelt sing-along that made the day even more unforgettable.[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #1″]To honor the bride’s Vietnamese background, they embraced her traditions by hosting a beautiful tea ceremony during the wedding week. The venue was adorned in rich red and gold which are the traditional colors of a tea ceremony. The bride, groom, and entire wedding party were elegantly dressed in stunning silk Áo dài. The ceremony was deeply heartfelt, far surpassing everyone’s expectations in its meaning and grace—a memory that will be cherished forever.[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #2″]Our wedding brought together family members from all over the United States, as well as Europe and Africa, creating a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It was a truly special moment for us, as it was the first time everyone was together in one place and likely the only time it will ever happen.

[field title=”Special Detail #3″]Traveling the world has been a special part of our journey together, and we wanted to share that joy with the people we love most. We invited friends and family, including those who had never ventured outside the U.S., to be part of this memorable experience. To show our deep appreciation for their effort and support, we hosted a post-wedding sailing trip along the breathtaking Amalfi Coast and Capri. It was a day filled with beauty and happiness, creating cherished memories for everyone.[/field]
