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.

The Moments:

Every moment. But in particular, our first dance with Frank Sinatra’s Come Fly with Me. It was the peak of our romantic Italian wedding. We took three dance classes for it, it was such a great memory. Our three year old niece thought we were a true prince and princess after the first dance!

This gorgeous event could not have come together without the vision and talents of Kellie Ryan Designs. Here’s what she had to say about designing this Florida workshop:

Laura Hooper Calligraphy approached me about the requests for a South Florida workshop and I instantly became excited to be involved. I immediately knew the atmosphere of the occasion, touches of specialty décor and floral elements were top design priorities. Collaborating with Yesy from Love in Vintage allowed the first and second of these priorities to be accomplished. The Love in Vintage studio in Fort Lauderdale presented a sense of place for our girl tea-party inspired workshop. Using antique pieces from Yesy’s collection, such as the credenza and armoire, provided a touch of sophistication. Julia Rohde Designs (creative genius) swaddled the vintage pieces with blooms ever-so delicately. Colored milk glass, china and sterling silver were intermixed throughout the space to create juxtaposition with the loose floral arrangements and cascading greens.

Facing the ornamented fireplace, each attendee’s place setting included workshop materials with a bespoke wooden name tag, a delicate china cup and a beautiful tote bag. The specialty Silver Sonnet linen, sourced from BBJ Linen, created unexpected texture, yet was soft enough to pair perfectly with our feminine design aesthetic.

To quench the attendees thirst a ‘build your own’ bubbles bar was fully stocked with blackberries, strawberries and
fresh squeezed juices. Les Petits Sucres provided an abundance of French inspired sweets that included delicious cookies, brownies, bites and tarts. Attendees were merry and bright with holiday spirit and the celebratory toasts continued well after the workshop concluded.

The Talented Team:

Photography – Stephanie Gregory Photography
Event Design – Kellie Ryan Designs 
Venue & Rentals – Love in Vintage
Floral Design – Julia Rohde Designs
Desserts – Les Petits Sucres
Linens – BBJ Linen

A special thanks to Laura Hooper Calligraphy and the incredible team behind this Florida workshop for sharing with Junebug! Be sure to check out when a workshop is coming near you!
