Elegant and Intimate Borgo Santo Pietro Elopement

February 9, 2022 | riley

Eloping is a unique experience like no other. There’s nothing more romantic than just the two of you committing to each other in the most meaningful way. Whether you choose a day all to yourselves or with your loved ones included, your dream elopement experience is entirely up to you and your partner. While they only shared their special day with their parents, Jack and Alexandria felt no shortage of love and joy at their elegant and intimate Borgo Santo Pietro elopement. 

The Italian estate was the ideal setting for their small celebration with stunning views of the Tuscan countryside, a gorgeous botanical garden amidst the fountains, and luxurious architecture. 

From the breathtakingly beautiful portraits taken at the historic San Galgano Abbey to the sweetest candid moments in between, these beautiful images captured by Junebug member Spazio46 will surely bring you some serious elopement inspiration.

Including Family In Their Borgo Santo Pietro Elopement

It’s easy to make your wedding about other people, but for ours, we made it about us. We were originally going to elope just the two of us, but we did end up inviting our parents to share the special day with us. It was nice having a small ceremony in a beautiful location with close family.

Memorable Moments In Tuscany

The most memorable part of the day was, of course, the ceremony. We were married in a courtyard on the grounds of Borgo Santo Pietro. A close second was visiting the Abbey of San Galgano with our photographers.

Their Wedding Planner Was Their Greatest Asset

If you are considering a destination wedding, hire a wedding planner! Our wedding planner Janina of Weddings Italy did an amazing job providing a list of locations, photographers, hair and makeup artists and coordinating the administrative process.

Working With Junebug Member Spazio46

Our photographers, Spazio46, were amazing. We were drawn to their portfolio for their style and creative vision. They are a couple from Naples who were an absolute joy to work with, and they completely captured all of the moments that we will treasure forever.

Perfectly Pink Valentine’s Day Inspiration Shoot

February 7, 2022 | kailey

February is about celebrating every form of love—self love included. That’s why Junebug event planner Coda’s Events worked with a team of talented wedding vendors to create a perfectly pink Valentine’s day inspiration shoot. This styled-session honored love in all shapes and sizes. 

The Dogwood in the Grove—a St. Louis based wedding venue—made for the perfect modern space to bring this inspiration to life. To enhance the venue’s existing features, florals by Snapdragon Studio, balloon archways by Inflate HTX, and tassel garland by Praxis Design Studio were the perfect addition—subtle, yet show-stopping. 

You would think it’s difficult to top the jaw dropping decor, but not for Charley Coldon. The model of this Valentine’s Day shoot absolutely stole the show. The wedding vendors made her a crucial part of the planning process, allowing her to pick her own dress, jewelry, and hair color. So in short, Olli was the style inspiration.
