Classic and Fashionable Wedding in Milan

February 24, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

DSV_140913-2626

As if we would expect anything less from a wedding in Milan, Hanie and Andrea’s wedding was exceptionally chic. The fashionable wedding began with a civil ceremony at Palazzo Reale, followed by a romantic jaunt through the city square captured by DS Visuals Weddings. Hanie’s 1960’s inspired bridal style came together with a uniquely gorgeous Atelier via Donizetti gown with subtle ivory polka dots, a sweet pair of Ferragamo pumps, and a delicate floral crown.

The Couple:

Hanie and Andrea

The Wedding:

Palazzo Reale, Milan, Italy

The Inspiration:

From the beginning, we were very straightforward: we wanted our wedding to be classy, elegant and romantic. We didn’t want to have a theme coloured wedding decoration, but the cream, ivory seemed most elegant and appropriate for a classy wedding. We chose a peach ribbon for our wedding invitation and dinner menu, and added some peach flowers to center pieces. We think a pinch of peach colour added much romance to the wedding reception.

Our outfits were also in line with this overall wedding concept. My dress is very much like Audrey Hepburn – simple but elegant. It’s from Atelier via Donizetti, an independent Atelier in Varese, near Milan. I loved the dot pattern and the bow on the waist line. I finished my 60’s inspired look with a pair of cream Ferragamo shoes. Andrea wore a slim fit dark navy Zegna suit, with a baby blue woven silk tie.
