Ariana and Michael exchanged vows on the Villa Pompeiana terrace overlooking the Gulf of Naples, kept the decor to white florals and understated tablescapes, and, after midnight, led their guests through an ancient stone passage to continue dancing inside a cave carved into the Sorrento cliffs. For their Bellevue Syrene wedding, much of the plan came down to knowing when to leave a good thing alone. Sorrento had already earned a place in their story […]

The Ultimate Dolomites Wedding Weekend Itinerary
After a few days of exploring Italy’s Dolomites, it became easy to understand why couples are drawn to the region for destination weddings. The landscape is dramatic in every direction, with jagged peaks rising above turquoise alpine lakes and villages shaped by German, Ladin, and Italian traditions. This corner of Italy feels entirely removed from the familiar romance of a Tuscan vineyard or an Amalfi cliffside, offering something quieter, wilder, and deeply connected to the […]
Sicilian Summer Wedding at Villa Mon Repos With Mount Etna as the Backdrop
Alex and Jack’s wedding in Taormina came with aperitivo in the garden, Sicilian food stations, plenty of limoncello, and views stretching from Isola Bella to Mount Etna.

That mix was exactly what the couple had in mind for their Villa Mon Repos wedding. With friends and family traveling […]

This Villa Wedding in Italy’s Piedmont Region Brought the Editorial Fashion
Karen and Zach looked through nearly 100 villas before finding the one that made them stop searching. Set in Italy’s Piedmont region, the centuries-old estate—with its Roman arches, gardens, and historic architecture—already had the atmosphere they were hoping for, so candles, flowers, and vintage-inspired fashion simply complemented what was there. After nearly seven years together, they invited just 20 guests to spend the weekend with them at the villa. A welcome dinner, a ceremony written […]
A Dolomites Elopement That Started at Lago di Braies and Ended With a Helicopter Mountaintop Picnic
There aren’t many weddings that begin on an empty dock at Lago di Braies and end with champagne and cake on a mountaintop accessible only by helicopter. That’s exactly how Alexa and Logan structured their day. They rented out part of the lake before sunrise, exchanged private vows with nobody else around, then spent the evening having a picnic above the clouds in Northern Italy. The couple traveled from Canada to create a day that […]

A Classic and Minimalist Tuscany Wedding Among the Olive Groves of Artimino

Less than two weeks later, Daniel asked her to be his girlfriend. “I brought the chaos; he brought the calm,” Yasmin says […]

This Intimate Tuscany Wedding at Villa Lenka Proves Less Is Always More
There was something effortless about Victoria and Zac’s wedding day at Villa Lenka. Maybe it was the way the villa’s staircases, gardens, and interiors all worked naturally with the design of the day. Maybe it was Victoria’s striking gown or the relaxed pace of celebrating with only 17 guests. Whatever it was, every part of the day seemed to fall into place naturally. The Atlanta-based couple, who work as an airline pilot and flight attendant, […]
