Surrounded by the stillness of the mountains and the glistening blue of Lake Como, this unforgettable celebration unfolded in a setting that epitomised Italian romance. A symphony of soft whites, peach tones, and blush hues transformed the iconic villa gardens into a scene of pure enchantment, every detail radiating timeless sophistication and serenity.
The festivities began the night before the wedding with a vibrant welcome dinner, an opulent prelude that set the tone for the weekend ahead.
Held within the ornate halls of a historic Italian villa, the space came alive in shades of crimson, scarlet, and deep rose. Cascading florals in rich hues of red, burgundy, and coral trailed down staircases and across candlelit tables, creating a luxurious sense of drama and warmth.
Guests were greeted with cocktails beneath frescoed ceilings, surrounded by bursts of roses, dahlias, and anthuriums, an atmosphere of passion and celebration. The bride, in a sculptural crimson gown adorned with hand-crafted ivory roses, made a breathtaking entrance, capturing the essence of old-world glamour reimagined through a modern lens.
From the moment guests arrived, they were greeted by sweeping floral compositions of voluminous white hydrangeas and roses, lining the grand garden walkways and mirrored pools. String musicians in ethereal gowns played as ballerinas danced among clouds of white petals, an opening tableau that perfectly captured the elegance and wonder of the day.
Set against the dramatic backdrop of Lake Como, the ceremony took place on a mirrored aisle framed with sculptural mounds of ivory hydrangeas. The reflection of the mountains in the water created an almost dreamlike atmosphere, a seamless blend of nature and design.
As the bride made her entrance beneath towering floral arches, her gown, a vision of lace and grace, echoed the purity of the floral landscape. Every moment felt suspended in time, illuminated by sunlight glancing off the water and the soft rustle of petals in the breeze.
As the sun dipped behind the hills, guests gathered beneath a bespoke draped pavilion where a new palette emerged, soft blush, peach, and champagne tones adorned the interior, shifting the mood from ethereal to romantic warmth.
Abundant floral arrangements cascaded across tables and entrances, with each tablescape layered in textures of roses, orchids, and dahlias in warm, sunset tones. Candlelight reflected through glass and crystal, creating an atmosphere of golden intimacy.
The evening’s grandeur reached its peak beneath a crystal chandelier, where the couple dined surrounded by opulent floral artistry. The tables were rich with tone and texture, a carefully curated blend of modern refinement and old-world beauty.
Later, as the night deepened, the couple cut an extraordinary tiered cake adorned with delicate white florals, a fitting finale to a day that was nothing short of cinematic.
This Lake Como wedding was a true celebration of artistry, architecture, and romance, every floral element designed to complement the natural splendour of its surroundings.
From the first note of the violins to the final candle flicker, it was an honour for the Wild at Heart team to bring such beauty to life on the shores of one of the world’s most magical destinations.
