A Florence Villa Wedding: Elegance and Romance

Love and laughter in the heart of Tuscany

In the heart of Florence in Tuscany, Stephanie and Justin's wedding unfolded like a scene from a romantic Italian film. As their photographer, I had the privilege of capturing every stunning detail of their day, which was recently featured on Style Me Pretty. The couple meticulously planned their celebration, focusing on elegant elements like Parisian-inspired chairs, hand-painted Oriente Italiano Ginori plates, and a menu card crafted by Shhh My Darling that mirrored the design of the plates and was shaped like an Oriental fan. The intimate and romantic ambiance was further enhanced by candles and brass abat-jours, with the Villa's facade and the panoramic view of Florence serving as a mesmerizing backdrop.

Their proposal story, as romantic as their wedding, took place in Paris on Bastille Day, where Justin surprised Stephanie with a heartfelt proposal on a quaint balcony overlooking the city's lights. The wedding itself was a blend of elegance and tradition, featuring an Oscar De La Renta gown and veil, CANALI groom's attire, and a floral and decor arrangement by Jardin Divers that beautifully complemented the limonaia's green-washed walls. The ceremony was filled with joy, laughter, and tears, creating memories that will last a lifetime. As night fell, their love was celebrated with a surprise fireworks show, reminiscent of their engagement in Paris, while they danced to Etta James' "At Last." The inclusion of a Dixie Italian band and a custom fan for each guest by Shhh My Darling added unique and personal touches to their special day. This wedding was not just a celebration of Stephanie and Justin's love, but a testament to their impeccable taste and the beauty of Florence.
