It all started on one of those warm summer nights in Sicily—the air thick with jasmine, the sea just close enough to hear. Edoardo and Charlotte spent hours talking about travel, food, and photography, completely losing track of time. From that night on, they were inseparable. So when it came time to plan their wedding, returning to Sicily felt like the most natural way to honor where it all began.
They envisioned a day that felt authentic and unforced, rooted in the natural beauty of the island. They found it in a rustic countryside villa surrounded by olive trees and vineyards. “We loved how the space felt warm and inviting, especially with all the orange-toned flowers that made everything glow,” they shared. With the help of a trusted team of vendors, Edoardo and Charlotte brought their vision to life—a celebration that felt both deeply personal and perfectly at home in the Sicilian landscape.

Designing a Sicily Wedding That Felt Like a “Dreamy Escape”
“We wanted our wedding to feel like a dreamy, intimate Mediterranean escape,” Charlotte shared. Inspired by the landscapes of Sicily, they chose a soft, earthy palette that felt at home among the olive trees and golden light.
The floral design was a highlight of the day. “A joyful explosion of textures, colors, and scents. Elegant yet wild, romantic but full of character.” Though they didn’t take the DIY route, their wedding felt personal. “We entrusted everything to Tearose. From the very beginning, they understood our vision even better than we did.”
Thoughtful Wedding Style With a Mediterranean Touch
Charlotte wore an ivory gown with a deep V neckline and dramatic draped sleeves. Lightweight and easy to move in, it was just right for the warm outdoor setting. “I wanted something soft and comfortable that still felt special,” she shared. She paired the dress with a long veil and kept her hair and makeup minimal, opting for a natural look that suited the relaxed atmosphere.
Edoardo opted for a navy suit with a white open-collar shirt, sharp but relaxed. His groomsmen wore beige suits with light blue shirts, no ties, and dark loafers, which suited the warm weather and the overall feel of the day.
The wedding party wore dresses in earthy tones—burnt orange, dusty rose, olive, and ochre. Each look was different, but together they created a palette that fit right in with the surroundings and floral design without feeling too coordinated.
A Ceremony Full of Heart and Humor
Edoardo and Charlotte exchanged vows in a lush garden courtyard framed by olive trees and soft golden light. Garden chairs were arranged beneath the trees in tidy rows, creating a peaceful amphitheater-like setting surrounded by nature. Instead of a traditional altar, bursts of wildflowers in sunny yellows and creamy whites lined the aisle, giving the space a fresh, organic feel that complemented the Sicily wedding setting perfectly.
Guests were dressed in summer-appropriate attire—relaxed yet elegant—adding to the effortless mood of the celebration. The ceremony struck a balance between emotional and lighthearted, especially when the couple accidentally tried to put rings on the wrong hands. “Everyone burst into laughter, including us.”
Creating a Guest Experience Full of Sicilian Flavor
After the ceremony, guests enjoyed an open-air aperitivo hour with Aperol Spritz, traditional Sicilian bites, and live folk music. “It was the perfect transition into the evening,” Edoardo shared. “People wandered the gardens, took photos, and just soaked it all in.”
As the sun began to set, guests made their way to the reception where long tables were dressed in crisp white linens and topped with minimalist centerpieces in soft shades of peach, coral, and pink. The styling was simple but intentional, allowing the landscape—and the food—to take center stage.
Dinner was served al fresco under a pastel sky, with a menu that highlighted seasonal local dishes and Sicilian wine. As night fell, the mood shifted from relaxed to lively. A band flown in from Paris kept the energy up as guests danced beneath string lights and stars. “It was everything we dreamed of. The energy, the food, the people, it all came together perfectly.”
Advice for Couples Planning Their Own Sicily Wedding
Looking back, Edoardo and Charlotte are grateful they trusted their local planning team and stayed true to the kind of experience they wanted to create. “We worked with a wonderful local coordinator who helped bring everything together smoothly. And it really paid off.”
Their biggest takeaway? Don’t sweat the small stuff. Focus on the feeling you want your day to have—and let the beauty of a Sicily wedding do the rest.
