A Tuscan Fairytale: The Unforgettable Wedding at Borgo di Vignamaggio
In the heart of Tuscany, a picturesque wedding unfolded, fulfilling dreams that brides often find only in magazines. The bride, radiant and resplendent, arrived in a pastel yellow Mercedes Cabrio, setting the stage for an unforgettable day. This was the magic orchestrated by The Tuscan Wedding at Borgo di Vignamaggio, where every detail was lovingly crafted to perfection.
The Bride’s Elegance
The centerpiece of this enchanting day was the bride herself. Her dress was a masterpiece, fitting her like a glove and cascading into a long trail that spoke of luxury. It was intricately embroidered with lace and sparkles, capturing the essence of fairy tales. Her hair, brown as honey in the Tuscan sun, was styled in loose, flowing curls. Her make-up, expertly done by Cherie Spisso, enhanced her natural beauty, giving her a radiant and glowing look that perfectly complemented the romantic Tuscan setting.
As she walked down the aisle, she held in her hand a bouquet that was nothing short of a work of art, a composition of blush pink and toffee roses, bunny tails, white ruscus, rice flowers, and dahlias. It was a reflection of her beauty and the love that brought her here. She radiated sweetness and elegance, a true vision of love and happiness.
The Bridal Party
The bridesmaids, dressed in chic pink nude gowns, were the perfect complement to the bride’s elegance. Their attire radiated grace, and they carried bouquets that mirrored the bride’s in style and color, albeit on a slightly smaller scale. The groom, standing tall beside the bride, was striking in a black suit. But what set him apart were the classic watch and French cuffs, a touch of sophistication that added flair to his attire.
A Ceremony Amidst Blooms
The setting for the ceremony was the Giardino delle Rose. Here, amidst an abundance of living flowers, the couple declared their love and commitment. The ambiance was further elevated by the soulful melodies of the Soul Duo from Musica Evento. Greenery and flowers grew up asymmetrically to decorate the existing structure, creating a magical backdrop for the vows. Grounded florals lined the two sides of the aisle, guiding the couple toward their shared future.
Aperitif in Frutteto
The celebration continued in the Frutteto, a scene straight out of a fairytale. Guests were welcomed to an opulent array of beige velvet sofas and low, stable tables, complemented by tall tables with fitting high chairs, all adorned in gold. The cocktail selection was nothing short of premium, with choices ranging from gin and vodka to rum, whisky, and tequila-based concoctions. Bubbles from Vignamaggio and the finest Italian beers, Peroni or Moretti, were on offer.
An Extravagant Dinner
As the sun dipped below the horizon, guests made their way to the front of the villa. Here, an extraordinary dinner awaited, orchestrated by the acclaimed food vendor, Galateo. The tables were adorned with low and unstructured florals along the middle, where candle holders of varying heights and tealights in votives created a romantic atmosphere. A mirrored runner down the center of the tables added a touch of elegance. The dinner was a four-course delight, including two pasta courses, a main course with sides, and a wedding cake. Dishes like giant ravioli stuffed with ricotta cheese and lemon, dressed with asparagus cream and candied lemon zest, were followed by paccheri fresh pasta with saffron cream, confit Pachino tomatoes, and asparagus tips. The main course was a succulent beef fillet with Chianti Classico wine sauce, served with sage-flavored roasted potatoes and steamed asparagus dressed with extra virgin olive oil. A veggie option, Eggplant Parmigiana, catered to all palates.
The Sweetest Finale
The crowning moment of the evening was the wedding cake, a Millefoglie that was prepared through a show cooking at Giardino delle Rose. It was a work of culinary art and a fitting conclusion to an extravagant dinner. As the evening waned, guests gathered for a champagne toast, which was followed by a breathtaking display of fireworks. The sky became a canvas, painted with brilliant and vibrant colors, mirroring the emotions of the day.
A Night to Remember
The party that followed was nothing short of splendid, as everyone let loose, celebrating the love that brought them together. The setting was a romantic dream, with a live band providing the soundtrack to the night’s festivities. It was a night of joy, laughter, and dancing, where memories were created to last a lifetime.
