Intimate Elegance by Lake Como: Belissa & Johan’s Dream Wedding

Belissa and Johan chose the stunning Lake Como for their intimate celebration. The event was a small family gathering, with just 35 of their closest guests. We carefully selected a location that perfectly suited this intimate wedding format. Villa Vittoria in Laglio, a charming boutique hotel right by the lake, provided the perfect backdrop. With breathtaking views of the lake and the opposite shore, and rooms styled in a romantic provincial design, it was the ideal setting for their special day.

The couple opted for a vibrant and rich color palette featuring garnet red, peach, and beige, which created a striking contrast against the serene beauty of Lake Como. The ceremony took place with a magnificent view of the lake, followed by an intimate dinner in the same location. The soothing background music and the gentle sound of the lake added to the enchanting atmosphere. The evening concluded with a champagne tower and sparkling, creating a magical and unforgettable moment.

DREAMLY Elopement on Lake Como

We are inspired by the era of Queen Marie Antoinette.

Her famous way of expressing herself. Her attention to detail and the launch of her impeccable style.

We chose a place for our project that fully respects that style and charm.

Villa Balbiano on Lake Como is always a winning location, but we wanted to make our details as simple and elegant as possible, so as not to overwhelm the richness and elegance of the villa.

We have created dresses with elegant and majestic lines, decorative details and decorations that shine and reflect the sun.

We wanted to achieve an effect of crystalline elegance.

In the looks we looked for clean and defined lines, in the decorations we wanted to have a contrast with the color of the lake. We therefore chose the palette of ivory, light pink, coral and pomegranate red. Colors mixed together creating a splendid watercolor.

For our project 2 different dresses were created by Raynik Anna.

One inspired a little by the skirts of Marie Antoinette's era.

With the light and silky fabric the skirt creates a beautiful heart-shaped line.

Second evening dress in black lace, with imitation of transparency.

Stationery inspired by the precious marbles present in the villa. The mirrored table reflected the beautiful colors of the flowers, crystal chandeliers and the blue sky. We wanted to minimize the presence of fabrics while remaining in harmony with the transparent spring air. Table, chairs, candlesticks and dishes all breathed with light.

As flowers we chose very light pink anthuriums, calla lilies and pomegranate roses. All colors have been positioned starting from the lightest to the most intense.

The brightly colored ceremony with the backdrop of the lake, mountains and green grass was a crucial element. To avoid distracting attention, we chose transparent Louis XII style chairs.

Champagne tower with dry ice created a beautiful backdrop with white smoke, decorated with cherries as well as our Vintage style cake.

Spring is a perfect time to create inspirational fairy tales especially if these fairy tales are told from Italy.

Romantic Wedding on Lake Como

Marianna & Albert are a truly romantic couple from who made us all move.

Marianna contacted us in February 2023 with a request to plan their intimate wedding for 20 people on Lake Como in July.

She already had clear ideas of what she wanted, and also the location they liked.

We booked "Imerialino" is the restaurant of the Imperiale hotel in Moltrasio.

The ceremony had to take place on the lake shore and the reception on the terrace which always overlooks Lake Como, offering a breathtaking view.

Marianna was always very attentive, she made sure everything was perfect.

These are the things that all brides feel.

They chose the very classic and elegant palette of the setup, white and green, with many candles on the table.

Marianna & Albert are from Estonia, they chose Italy for their wedding due to its warm temperatures and sunny days.

The whole of July 2023 was incredibly hot, reaching record temperatures of +45°

The only cold day with a storm was ours. Marianna & Albert brought Estonia to Lake Como.

We are always ready for plan B.

Unfortunately we cannot change the weather, but we can always make the scenario turn in our favor.

We found half a break when it wasn't raining to do the boat ride. At the ceremony with the exchange of rings and a final kiss, a little sunshine came out.

But dinner was prepared with fireworks with the strong storm, thunder and lightning.

Now all this made no difference.

Because there was so much love in the air.

Marianna & Albert were happy, they gave us their looks.

At the end of the wedding Albert said to Marianna "You were afraid that it would be too hot, and the universe heard you"
