An Intimate Italian Wedding at Villa Cimbrone Where Ceremony and Dinner Told Two Different Stories
[section title=”The Planning”]

[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]
For the welcome event, the couple wants to have an Italian vibe but with different colors, so we drove them to have a white and yellow color palette. For the wedding day, they also had a very clear idea in mind about the style of their wedding. They wanted a sophisticated and elegant look. Full white for the wedding ceremony, Dirty white, taupe, and a touch of light pink for the table.
Intimate, Understated, Luxury, Magical. Those are the 4 words the couple shared to explain to us their vision! According to the different areas and moments of the day, we manage to create a unique atmosphere and suggest having a slightly different palette for the two main moments of the wedding day: Ceremony and Dinner. As the wedding ceremony took place at the Tea Garden of Villa Cimbrone, we suggest having a full white flower decor with a touch of greenery to enhance the beauty of the garden around; for the reception dinner instead, we envisioned a softer, thus modern and romantic vibe. We love to create contrast, especially when you have a dinner under the arcade of the crypt of Villa Cimbrone. To create this vision, we chose modern chairs along an imperial table with beautiful flowers and lots of candles around.

[field title=”Proposal Story”]
How they started dating, Tania and her friend Esther went to a new restaurant that opened in the city for dinner. Esther knew the owner of the restaurant, and he was there. Esther introduced him to Tania, and his name was Vince. Tania was currently in a relationship at the time. Eblii, ffcjy exchanged numbers because they were both small business owners in the city, and Tania was interested in doing a photoshoot in the restaurant. We started chatting, and eventually, one day, we started dating. The Proposal story. In 2021, after 3 years together, Vince told me that he would propose that year, so on Dec 31, I woke up and said… are you proposing today!? We entered 2022, and we went on a trip to Hawaii. On the trip, I joked, Are you planning to propose here? And he said Now, that would be so cliche. During the trip, he planned a beautiful helicopter tour of the island. When we finished, we were going to get the famous garlic shrimp. I fell asleep in the car on the way there. When I woke up from my nap, I asked… why are we driving so fast? Where’s the shrimp place?? And he said we’re not going because we’re late. He wanted to watch the sunset at a beach. When we arrived, I was taking our stuff out of the trunk when he said we’re at the wrong beach!! And we’re late!! In a rush, he ran to the back of the car and closed the trunk on my head 
. We drove off to the right beach. When we got there, the sun was starting to set. I followed him running from the parking lot to the beach… and that’s when we noticed the sun was setting far away on the right of the beach, and the sand was full of sticks sticking out everywhere. He told us we had to walk towards the sunset, which looked like miles away. At this point, I was so grumpy. Eventually, I asked if we could stop, and he said Sure, we can sit here. I settled down and took my phone out to take a selfie, when a stranger walked by and asked, Would you like me to take a photo of you both? I said sure and handed him my phone. He took it….. and started to put it in his pocket – and I became on high alert… when he whipped out his camera and I looked at Vince confused, down on one knee. And I said YES!

As the groom is a restaurateur/owner of a Michelin Bib Gourmand in Vancouver, the food and wine were a very important aspect to them for the event. For the welcome dinner, the food has been prepared by Gerardo, the chef of Trattoria da Lorenzo, which has, for the second year, the mentioned in the Michelin guide. During the cocktail hour, we added two live experiences as the Mozzarella making and the pasta show. For the served dinner, they had the typical scialatielli past with lagonstine, as the sea bass was salted and cooked to finish with a delicious tiramisù! For the wedding day, as you know, the dinner has been prepared by Villa Cimbrone, which has a 1-star Michelin restaurant. They had two pasta dishes and allowed their guests to choose between meat and fish for the main. The wedding cake was a millefoglie cake

We had a few surprises to arrange. In fact, for the welcome dinner, the groom didn’t know that his groomsman was able to attend the wedding, and together with the bride, we managed to arrange this amazing surprise for the groom!

[field title=”Special Detail #3″]
As a photo booth, we create a small sofa corner at the crypt, decorate it with flowers and candles. It was a small, intimate wedding with 40 guests. The couple wanted something magical, romantic, intimate, and adventurous, and wanted their wedding to be a moment that they would forever cherish. It was very special and rare for them to travel with their closest family and friends to a beautiful destination. And as they deeply appreciate their guests wanted to give a beautiful and memorable experience.
