Saying “I Do” at Their Villa il Garofalo Destination Wedding With Florence’s Iconic Duomo as Backdrop<\/span><\/h2>\n

From the beginning of <\/span>wedding planning<\/span><\/a>, we knew we wanted a timeless event and a breathtaking view. As lovers of travel, narrowing down the city was the hardest part. But once we both decided on Florence and our <\/span>planner<\/span><\/a> showed us <\/span>Villa il Garofalo<\/span><\/a>, which was also the home of Dante and Beatrice, everything else fell into place. The villa itself is stunning, with its beautiful gardens and classic architecture. It overlooks the entire city of Florence, and you get a picture-perfect view of the Duomo from the gardens of the villa. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Crafting the Perfect Italian Garden Celebration<\/span><\/h2>\n

With the villa selected, the decision to have an Italian garden wedding was seamless. Everything after that was geared towards giving the event a timeless and classic feel, just as we had wanted. From the <\/span>table settings<\/span><\/a> to <\/span>floral arrangements<\/span><\/a> to the classic <\/span>Italian Millefeuille cake<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>gelato cart<\/span><\/a>, our mindset was focused on simple yet elegant choices. Of course, our amazing <\/span>wedding team<\/span><\/a> helped bring our <\/span>visions<\/span><\/a> to reality—they were incredible.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

A DJ With a Live Saxophone Player, Endless Hugo Spritzes, and an Incredible Ceremony View<\/span><\/h2>\n

For my husband, the most memorable part was the <\/span>cocktail hour<\/span><\/a>–from the <\/span>exit<\/span><\/a> to the <\/span>champagne tower<\/span><\/a>–and then the DJ with a live saxophone player. Not to mention all the amazing aperitifs. It is truly a special feeling getting to celebrate that moment with our closest family and friends. The Hugo spritz was flowing, and people were already dancing the day away in celebration. For me, it was the actual wedding ceremony itself. The emotion of walking down the aisle with my dad and seeing my closest friends and family in Florence, with my future husband awaiting me while overlooking the Duomo, was overwhelming and memorable. We also had one of our best friends as our <\/span>officiant<\/span><\/a>, making the ceremony feel all the more meaningful.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Why Hiring a Planner is Key to Stress-Free Planning T<\/span>heir Villa il Garofalo Destination Wedding<\/span><\/h2>\n

Hire a great <\/span>planner<\/span><\/a>; they will make your life so much easier. Also, let the <\/span>vendors<\/span><\/a> guide you and give them the freedom to express their creativity. They are experts and very experienced, and they will be able to make your dreams come true without you needing to micromanage every detail. For example, we provided our florist with a <\/span>color scheme<\/span><\/a> and instructions to make the <\/span>flowers<\/span><\/a> feel timeless, and she ran with it and did an incredible job. Too many times, we want to be involved in every last detail, which makes the planning process too stressful.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Treasures From Florence and Handcrafted Mementos to Welcome Their Guests at Their Villa il Garofalo Destination Wedding<\/span><\/h2>\n

At our <\/span>welcome party<\/span><\/a>, we gave our guests a <\/span>Florence tote bag<\/span><\/a> filled with our wedding newspaper, risotto, and a mini bottle of Chianti. All of the items were purchased in Florence. For the day of the wedding, we paid our calligrapher to hand-paint watercolor postcards.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
