What was the couple’s initial vision for the wedding?
As the perfect blend of natural beauty and culinary delight, an Italian Garden theme emerged as the ideal choice for this couple’s special day. With a shared passion for breathtaking landscapes and delectable cuisine, they sought a venue that would allow them to celebrate their love in style. Tuscany’s stunning scenery proved to be the perfect match, providing a picturesque backdrop for their outdoor ceremony.

How did you bring the Italian Garden theme to life?
Given the opportunity to work with Borgo San Luigi, our initial impression was that a minimalist yet refined approach would be most fitting. As our bride is renowned for her understated elegance, we opted for a monochromatic scheme that would harmonize with her personal style and the intimate setting of the estate.
By emphasizing the natural beauty of the surroundings through subtle white florals against the lush greenery, we successfully highlighted the best features of the property while staying true to our bride’s aesthetic.

In orchestrating the intimate dinner reception, we deliberately let the exquisite Italian cuisine crafted by the couple take center stage, while infusing the setting with our design inspiration. The outdoor setup was elevated by an unorthodox yet striking combination – overhead hanging chandeliers that added a touch of sophistication to what would have otherwise been a simple garden dinner.
