Tuscany is one of the most magical places on Earth and our main inspiration. We wanted a simple, elegant, and low-key wedding with the focus being on our marriage and new life together. The wedding decor was all Chiara, our wedding planner. Everything was better than I could have imagined and exactly my taste without us ever speaking with Chiara in person. She nailed the chic, bohemian vibe I wanted and everything turned out perfectly. Mike wore his go-to tuxedo, by Isaia, and new Allen Edmonds shoes. We only had about 3 months to plan, so I had my dress made in San Francisco by Julie Ireland who made the process so fun and stress-free and made me the perfect dress in limited time!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-558207\" src=\"https:\/\/images.junebugweddings.com\/19\/af\/19af15e268c74404.jpg\"
