Herbal theme wedding
When you think about Relais and Chateaux you cannot think about service, concierge and a perfect event organised in one of these wonderful locations. Borgo San Felice, in Italy, was the setting of one of our latest event. The majority of guests came from the Cayman Islands therefore the main focus of the event was a setting in the middle of the Italian wine shires, the country side, the green hills.
Luxury guides have been customised and used as welcome favours, assembled later together with Italian Baci chocolates and some Italian Olive Oil inside a beautiful elegant black box.
The event occurred in front of the main church of this lovely private village, a sort of Italian ” sagra” , a feast where all guests dined and laughed. The table was decorated with high crystal candelabras and white hydrangeas and natural plants gave the style of this herbal themed wedding. A cascade of hurricanes hung on the tree created the perfect setting for this romantic dinner while guests were entertained by the beautiful warm voice of a friend of the bride, accompanied by the romantic sound of the piano.
Popsicles ended up the night before heading to the dancing party, for a refreshment before going wild!
These are only a few images taken with our mobile phones but soon, more images to come! … by the way, those two ladies with light blue and yellow dresses are not two of the guests but it’s Eva and Clara working hard :)
