Looking forward to post-pandemic life, Julia and Brian wanted their wedding to be marked by the creativity, color, and radical change of the Renaissance. Their modern renaissance wedding was overflowing with spectacular details of fine art and old-world glam beautifully blended with modern elements. And what better way to host a <\/span>weekend-long celebration<\/span><\/a> with their closest loved ones than at the historic <\/span>Villa Gamberaia<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Perched on top of a hill overlooking the city and the Tuscan countryside, their garden <\/span>ceremony<\/span><\/a> was brimming with <\/span>lush florals<\/span><\/a> by <\/span>Tuscany Flowers<\/span><\/a>, giving it a romantic and whimsical vibe. Showcasing a long table with a perfectly styled tablescape filled with colorful flowers, bowls of fruit, <\/span>candlesticks in glass displays, and hanging chandeliers<\/span><\/a>, their <\/span>reception<\/span><\/a> struck the perfect balance of opulence and quintessential Italian charm.<\/span><\/p>\n

To top it all off, the celebration kept going with a post-reception after-party. With an incredible <\/span>vendor team<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>stunning venue<\/span><\/a>, and swoon-worthy <\/span>color palette<\/span><\/a>, this gorgeous <\/span>destination wedding<\/span><\/a> in Italy is one for the books. Scroll down to see every detail and precious moment captured by <\/span>David Bastianoni<\/span><\/a>. This is one of those dreamy weddings you’ll definitely want to pin to your <\/span>mood board<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Junebug Members <\/span>White Emotion<\/span><\/a> On This Reimagined Modern Renaissance Wedding<\/span><\/h2>\n

The <\/span>pandemic<\/span><\/a> has changed the wedding landscape, but it’s also given people time and space for a greater appreciation for travel, culture, and creativity. As a <\/span>wedding planner<\/span><\/a>, I loved the theme “A Modern Renaissance.” Just like the creative change that happened during the Renaissance period, which was marked by major artistic developments, this wedding embodies that. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

How A Romantic Vacation Led To Their Destination Wedding<\/span><\/h2>\n

We went on a couple’s vacation to Italy, and there we hit a point of clarity in our relationship. We were driving through the rolling hills of Tuscany, the sun was rising, the fog was lifting from the vineyards, and of course, we were blasting <\/span>Andrea Bocelli<\/span><\/a>. At that moment, we looked at each other, and we just knew, “You’re the one I want to do this with forever.” So naturally, we wanted to go back to that place in Italy to <\/span>share that love and moment of clarity with our closest friends and family.<\/span><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Using Their Wedding As An Excuse For A Three Day Vacation With Family & Friends<\/span><\/h2>\n

We loved that our wedding was not just a one-day affair but rather a<\/span> three-day mini-cation<\/span><\/a> for our closest friends and family members to meet each other before celebrating our love together. <\/span>After the wedding, we had many people who didn’t know each other before exchanging numbers and making plans for future travels beyond the wedding.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Supporting Local Business and Women-Owned Companies<\/span><\/h2>\n

We wanted to <\/span>support local businesses and small women-owned<\/span><\/a> companies in the United States for our <\/span>save the dates<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>invitations<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>gifts<\/span><\/a>. <\/span>Etsy<\/span><\/a> and word-of-mouth were helpful in finding <\/span>vendors<\/span><\/a> who understood our ideas.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Wedding Advice: Hire A Planner And Leave It To The Pros<\/span><\/h2>\n

We wouldn’t have been able to plan our wedding without a <\/span>planner<\/span><\/a>. Both Brian and I were very busy with work in New York City. We are very creative people, but planning an event was not our forte. We relied heavily on our <\/span>wedding planner’<\/span><\/a>s recommendations for the <\/span>flowers<\/span><\/a> and the <\/span>venue<\/span><\/a>. Having a vendor who lived in the country of our <\/span>destination wedding<\/span><\/a> and worked with the local <\/span>vendors<\/span><\/a> was key for us.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
