“Wow!” is pretty much the only response I can think of for this romantic Tuscany wedding! When it came to planning their wedding, Italy was an easy choice for Yolanda & Ronald. “Italy stole my heart a few years back and my now husband proposed to me in Venice a year earlier. We decided to marry in Italy for what was to be a very small and intimate wedding.”
While venue hunting, the goals were clear. “I simply wanted a location that illustrated the romance, history, and beauty that Italy beings to life,” Yolanda explained. The resulting look feels like a fairy tale! The color palette of soft blush and gold was a timeless choice. But it was the small details that really made a huge impact to the design. My favorite has to be the lush floral and draping ceremony arch. What an absolute dream! The hand-painted invitation suite comes in at a close second with its watercolor landscape. Honestly, your pin button is going to be worn out saving all these amazing details!
The celebration ended with some gelato (of course!) and fireworks, all captured by Purewhite!
