Diana & Dumitru’s Fairytale Summer Wedding on Lake Maggiore

This July our team had the joy of planning a truly unforgettable summer wedding for Diana and Dumitru, a wonderful couple from Miami. The preparation took months of deep work long conversations, detailed planning, countless design proposals, and even a moment when we all considered moving the celebration to 2026. In the end, we are grateful it happened in 2025, exactly the way it should have.

The couple chose an English-style castle in Arona, on the stunning shores of Lake Maggiore a majestic and historic venue with breathtaking views of the lake and the town. From the very first scouting visit, we knew this location would allow us to create a real fairytale wedding.

For the wedding ceremony, we suggested placing it directly in front of the castle façade. After many sketches, concepts, and design rounds shared with the couple, we gently insisted on keeping the castle as the main backdrop and it proved to be absolutely the right choice. The ceremony design featured a horseshoe-shaped floral arch in a classic white-and-green palette: elegant, clean, and timeless.

One of the most memorable elements was the groom’s entrance: Dumitru arrived at the ceremony in a red Alfa Romeo cabriolet, with a duo violin playing setting the perfect romantic mood a bold, fun, and unforgettable moment. Later, vibrant and colorful fountains marked the climax of the ceremony, delighting all guests in the most magical way.

Working with Diana and Dumitru was a true pleasure. They are an incredibly positive and open-hearted couple, and having their little daughter present added an extra layer of tenderness and sentiment to the celebration.

Despite the long preparation process, everything came together smoothly on the wedding day. The couple and their guests shared wonderful feedback during and after the event, and their happiness continues to inspire us.

This celebration became exactly what a Lake Maggiore castle wedding in Arona should be: emotional, elegant, and absolutely magical.
