An informal yet curated wedding, blending nature, fun, and heartfelt moments.

A Location Surrounded by Nature: The Perfect Setting for Their Story
Stefania and Claudio’s wedding took place in a breathtaking location nestled in the heart of nature, an ideal venue to celebrate the beauty of the outdoors and the joy of being together.
The venue featured a stunning pool, an essential element for the kind of celebration the couple envisioned.
From the very first site visit, it was clear they wanted a laid-back yet meticulously planned atmosphere, where every corner would tell a piece of their unique love story.
A July Wedding: The Ideal Season for Outdoor Bliss
Choosing July for their wedding allowed Stefania and Claudio to make the most of the outdoor spaces, creating a perfect summer celebration. The day began with a civil ceremony, surrounded by close family and witnesses, followed by an intimate lunch for those who preferred a more traditional experience. This thoughtful decision allowed them to include even the relatives who might have been less inclined to join the lively afternoon celebration.
A Unique and Original Wedding: Stefania and Claudio's Dream
When Stefania first approached me with the idea of a simple, low-key wedding, she had no idea that, once immersed in the wedding mood, she would completely change her mind. As often happens, her passion for this special day took over, and Stefania decided to leave nothing to chance, transforming her wedding into a unique event with a personal touch that made every detail extraordinary.
Color and Nature: A Sophisticated and Fresh Wedding
The colors Stefania chose for her wedding—white and lilac—were both elegant and refined. For the bouquet and centerpieces, she selected delicate and symbolic flowers: Rosa senza Spina, Lisianthus, and white Roses, which gave the wedding an atmosphere of purity and sweetness.

Every floral arrangement was meticulously curated, and the presence of flowers throughout the venue created a harmonious continuity between the wedding and the surrounding nature.
But it wasn’t just the beauty of the flowers that made the difference. The centerpieces were enriched with bottles of liquor illuminated by LED lights, designed to evoke the event's mood, along with lanterns in a Shabby Chic style and wooden trunks, adding a rustic yet enchanting touch to the decor. Wine demijohns and wicker baskets further enhanced the bucolic setting, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere, just as the bride had envisioned.
An Afternoon and Evening by the Pool: Pure Fun and Magic
In the afternoon, however, the real magic began. Stefania and Claudio’s dream came to life with a lively poolside celebration, filled with music, delicious food and drinks, and countless smiles. The natural surroundings helped set the tone for a relaxed and carefree atmosphere, where formal attire was no longer a concern.
The venue, designed to encourage togetherness, offered plenty of opportunities for guests to have fun, with games like foosball and ping pong creating an environment of easy camaraderie. Guests enjoyed a sense of freedom, fully embracing the joy of the day.
A Starry Night: A Touch of Magic as the Evening Unfolded
As the day turned into night, the scene transformed into something truly magical. A sky full of stars embraced the guests, providing an unforgettable backdrop that added a poetic element to an already perfect day. The serene atmosphere, combined with the romantic charm of the evening, made this wedding not just an event, but an experience that will live on in the hearts of all who attended.
An Unexpected Entrance: The Rise Corner and the Vintage Volkswagen Van
When the couple arrived, the surprise didn’t stop there. For their entrance to the venue, we planned a fun and original "Rise Corner." A vintage Volkswagen Van, with its retro charm, greeted them in style, stunning the guests with its nostalgic appeal and festive atmosphere. A tip I’d like to give to future couples: never take anything for granted! Without a Wedding Planner, like in Stefania’s case, guests who are caught up in the fun atmosphere might miss the couple’s entrance, failing to give this moment the attention it deserves. A professional coordinator is essential to ensure that such important moments don’t go unnoticed.
An American Vibe and a Touch of Good Taste: The Dinner
The dinner was another moment of great creativity. Stefania and Claudio decided to recreate an American-style atmosphere, with themed areas that captured everyone's imagination. A live barbecue allowed guests to enjoy the cooking experience, while the original Pinsa station, cooked in an oven on a fun, revamped Ape Car, amazed everyone—not only for its originality but also for its exceptional taste. It was a perfect fit for the bucolic setting and made the dinner an experience to remember.
A Special Memory for Guests
The couple’s choice of wedding favors was meaningful. A succulent plant, placed in a handmade ceramic bowl designed to be hung, was chosen as a solidarity gift, made by a local community. This thoughtful gift combined the beauty of the wedding with an act of support, creating a small yet significant reminder of the day.
A Touch of Fun: The Bride’s Friends
And of course, there were moments of pure joy! The bride’s friends decided to surprise her by wearing matching costumes and cover-ups in a beautiful fuchsia color. Their presence added a pop of color and liveliness to the day, bringing smiles and laughter—always the best part of any wedding.
Guest Book: A Tribute to the Beauty of the Day
Lastly, a special touch that made the atmosphere even more emotional: the Guest Book. The couple wanted to prepare a wooden surface, painted in tones that matched their home decor, to collect the guests’ messages and keep them close over time. This idea made the day even more personal, allowing Stefania and Claudio to preserve a tangible memory of the words shared by those who were with them on this special day.

Conclusion: An Unforgettable Wedding
Every wedding is unique, and Stefania and Claudio's was truly special. With a mix of elegance, originality, and a touch of fun, this wedding showed just how important it is to pay attention to every single detail. My role as a Wedding Planner was crucial in managing the logistical aspects and coordinating each moment to ensure nothing was left to chance. A well-thought-out wedding is one that will stay in everyone’s heart forever.
If you also dream of a wedding that tells your story, don’t let chance decide for you—create an event that is truly yours.
