We are proud to have appeared on 100LayerCake again this week with Olga & Sende’s wedding anniversary party!
Here are the fantastic photos of the event:
The party was very different from their wedding day, still very elegant but crazier. We organised a gyspy style banquet, with bongos for the aperitif and a make over corner. Everything was set up among the vineyards, with ancient rugs on the grass, mismatched chairs, centrepieces rich of fruit and flowers, old maroccan teapots and church candelabras. It was too beautiful to be real…and all of a sudden, before they even started to eat it rained! Strong rain that wiped out the whole setting…but the atmosphere was just too great to be ruined and we decided to continue partying inside. In 10 minutes we moved all the decor in the ancient mill room where they ended up having dinner. After hours of delicious homemade food, they then moved outside again for the dessert corner and to dance until morning.

Summer 2012…
There have been times when the heat was so warm that we thought that our head was going to explode. Without a hat we could have not survived.
There have been times when we were eager to see the result of our photographers, to see the colours of our projects and the beauty of our brides….unfortunately we must be patient!
Days where we thought that our team was great, and others where we felt extremely under pressure, anxious and tired from the amount of hours spent in front of our laptop.
Wedding days showing grey clouds and when the fears that a heavy rain was going to destroy all our precious work….days where, instead, we have hoped for a draft, some wind, just wished for some fresh air! Hide the sun please! :)
Nights when the sky was beautifully decorated with shining stars, where, in a remote silent corner far from the wedding festivities, we could just admire the landscape and feel this immense beauty inside of us. When, in the middle of the pressure, we simply felt connected and happy for an unknown reason.
Moments where we flew, weeks after weeks, drove, day after day, our cars packed with ribbons and decorations, mobile in one hand, and eyes on the highway on the others, when we felt reassured by the precious presence of our teams, our helpers and all our collaborators. Days when we had just discovered something which surprised us, or when (in deep honesty) we just were looking forward to be back and see the face of our lovers and friends or the smile of our children.
Some internal joy or doubtfulness cannot be described in a few words , rather for me, the images are just bringing some memories and feelings alive.
I want to share some pictures of some of the events of the past season. Each one of those gathers colours and decorations but for me a special meaning is hidden behind each picture. Either was the sky, or the clouds, or the special friendship with a bride, her tears, I must admit this summer brought, after all, many smiles and when I look back, many many good memories.

Because of the glimpses from bridges and architecture,
because of the polished black gondolas,
because of the night fog that gives the city a magical atmosphere,
because of the cafe where to have a Bellini with fresh peaches…

“La Serenissima” was the name Venice had when it was a Republic.
It means the most serene.

Today I would like to share these beautiful images of this inspirational Sicilian wedding. I hope that all our brides feel inspired from those asking us to organise a southern wedding between the olive grove, the panama hats and the old style chignons!

The posts for the following weeks will be dedicated to the beautiful, romantic, eternal city of Venice.
I used to live there during my studies and in those years I’ve seen people from all over the world come to get married in this city . I am sure they will never forget that day not just because of the event but also because of the atmosphere, the light, the lagoon and the amazing glimpses Venice has to offer.
So, if you are thinking about where to get married in Italy, Venice is one of the places you must keep in your mind. Following our posts you will discover more about the beautiful locations available in one of the best italian cities.

How many times did you long for a tree house but you couldn’t reach Africa or all those exotic places which are too far anyway from Europe?
Well, in fact now the most romantic love escape can be reached in our territory! Italy! Secluded between fields of lavender, silence and tranquility, this magic place can nest you and cuddle for your-week end for 2-philosophy.
Wine tasting and breakfast can be done from the top of your terrace, overlooking the valley. No internet or any other connection is available, just the silence, the scents, the music played from crickets and the nature.
You won’t have the chance to look desperately for lions, or have any giraffe to feed from your balcony, but for those who just want to hide away, this romantic house is the perfect place. Nobody will find you unless you want to spot out and be reached.
