Alexander & Laine - A Cinematic Wedding at Castello Dal Pozzo

Alexander and Laine’s wedding felt like a scene from a classic Hollywood film. At the end of August, the New York - based couple celebrated their destination wedding in Italy at the timeless Castello Dal Pozzo, overlooking Lake Maggiore and the town of Arona.

Everything unfolded with the ease and beauty of an old-time movie: vibrant colors, joyful elegance, and a cast of 100 guests dressed in perfect harmony with the celebration. The wedding weekend opened with a lakeside welcome and a relaxed beach club party in Stresa, setting the tone for what would become an unforgettable story.

The ceremony took place in the castle gardens, marked by a grand, cinematic bridal entrance graceful, emotional, and timeless. As evening fell, the reception came to life by candlelight, lanterns, and glowing string lights, with the castle terrace transforming into a romantic film set under the stars.

Alexander and Laine were natural, elegant, and deeply connected - like two classic movie leads. Their beloved dog, Leo, became the symbol of the wedding, inspiring a bespoke logo and personalized limoncello favors, adding a playful yet meaningful touch to the celebration.

A wedding that didn’t just feel planned, but directed. Romantic, joyful, and cinematic, as if it belonged to another era.
