An Ode to Old-World Romance at Villa Balbiano on Lake Como
[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”The Inspiration”]
This editorial was inspired by the refined romance and old-world grandeur of Villa Balbiano. Our vision was to create a celebration that felt timeless and deeply elegant, with a modern sensibility woven into every detail. We leaned into the property’s natural beauty and sweeping views, designing an atmosphere that felt intimate, elevated, and effortlessly luxurious – an ode to European sophistication and the magic of Lake Como.

[field title=”The Venue”]
Villa Balbiano served as the perfect setting, with its iconic façade, manicured gardens, and panoramic views of Lake Como. We placed the reception tablescape directly in front of the villa to highlight its dramatic architecture and allow guests to feel fully immersed in its historic beauty. The ceremony was designed on the waterfront, creating a serene and cinematic moment that celebrated the surrounding natural landscape without obstructing the stunning lake backdrop.

[field title=”Wedding Gown”]Our bride wore an exquisite Zuhair Murad gown paired with a matching embroidered veil for the ceremony, perfectly complementing the timeless elegance of the setting. The gown’s delicate detailing and graceful silhouette brought a touch of couture drama to the lakeside moment, enhancing the romantic mood without overpowering it. For the reception, she transitioned into a sleek, modern Galia Lahav look – a sophisticated and slightly sultry contrast that reflected a more contemporary, evening-in-Como tone.[/field]

Florals were designed to feel lush, refined, and organic, with soft blooms and layered textures enhancing the natural charm of the villa. The ceremony featured abundant, floor-based arrangements at the lake’s edge, allowing the breathtaking views to remain unobstructed while still creating a sense of depth and romance. For the tablescape, we incorporated delicate florals, soft candlelight, and elegant place settings, striking the perfect balance between classic European style and modern editorial elegance.
