How Their Palazzo Vecchia Wedding Came To Be

We fell in love with the vibes and the atmosphere, typically of the Franciacorta area. In addition, we have always dreamt of getting married in a vineyard, and this venue had the perfect one. We envisioned an elegant and chic wedding with a good amount of party vibes. We knew our guests would enjoy the party as much as we would. That’s why music and the open bar had an important focus for us. The design and the style are the aspects we are most proud of. These were simple and neat, but every detail was what we wanted, following a color palette that recalled the surrounding nature. 

Personalizing Their Ceremony With Their Love Story And By Including Their Loved Ones

The ceremony was one of the most memorable parts of the wedding. With the help of our celebrant, we were able to add personal touches, and our loved ones read passages about our love story. Having our families and friends together to celebrate our marriage and listen to our vows in the vineyard was the most emotional part.

Wedding Planning Advice: Put Together A Trusted Team Of Pros

Relying on true professionals let us enjoy the planning better, particularly on the wedding day, because we knew we were in good hands. Every vendor on the team did a fantastic job, everything was perfect, and the wedding exceeded our expectations.

Personal Touches And A Surprise Dance Routine During The Reception 

We gave our guests a bottle of Franciacorta wine. We wanted wine as a central element of the wedding as we love it, and this recalls one of our first trips together in Franciacorta. We also prepared the “time capsule.” It was a wine box where our guests could leave a message for us written on paper. We will open and read these on our first wedding anniversary. And as a surprise, our guests did a beautiful flash mob during the dinner. It was hilarious and amazing.

Effortlessly Chic Bruma Destination Wedding

March 30, 2023 | kailey

Amy and Scott thought their biggest wedding planning hurdle would be getting fifty of their closest loved ones to travel to an unknown, remote location in a foreign country. But their friends and family quickly jumped on the opportunity to celebrate these two in paradise. And after scrolling through the stunning Bruma destination wedding day photos by Junebug photographer Catalina Jean Photography, you’ll understand why. 

Set in the beautiful rolling vineyards of Valle de Guadalupe, Bruma was the ideal celebration location. The audacious couple kicked off their Baja California wedding with an effortlessly simple ceremony, complete with grounded floral arrangements by Proboda Baja Weddings. They then ended with an intimate reception under the trees draped in twinkle lights and ratan pendant fixtures. The reception tables matched the naturally chic look with neutral linens, wooden charger plates, colorful glassware, and floral centerpieces.

Just when you thought this wedding couldn’t get any better, in struts the bride rocking a silk v-neck gown, the groom in his classic tux, and the bridesmaids in their mismatched dresses. It’s safe to say—from the stylish fashion to adventurous location—this wedding has the inspo needed for all weddings, big or small.

How Their Local Wedding Planner Helped Their Bruma Destination Wedding Come To Life

Wedding planning was so overwhelming in the beginning! For us, the wedding planner was important and made the process feel like we could pull it together. Being a destination wedding, having a local planner was critical to keep us in regulation with local laws and source vendors. Selene from Proboda Baja Weddings was the expert that knew our venue well and what it needed to be a successful wedding. She also gave us deadlines to stay on track. The day came together better than we could have imagined, and we stressed out so much when we shouldn’t have.

Catering By Your Favorite Restaurant Is Always A Good Idea

The restaurant that catered for our wedding is easily one of our favorite restaurants. They only cater weddings when it’s on-site at Bruma. We got engaged at our wedding venue, which made the whole property very special to us.

What It Was Like Working With Junebug Photographer Catalina Jean Photography

Catalina Jean Photography joined us for the whole weekend. We really got to know her at the rehearsal dinner, which made having her around on the day of the wedding natural not only for us but also for all our wedding guests. She blended into our special day seamlessly, kept having to turn down drinks from guests, and even joined us on the dance floor at the end of the night!
