A WINTER WEDDING IN STRESA

Thanks to the mild climate of Lake Maggiore, it is quite possible to organize a winter wedding in Stresa. This is the bet made by our spouses Alessandra & Roberto who wanted to get married after so many years and two beautiful children. A February day under the sign of a beautiful sun, romantic and soft…

A BEAUTIFUL ENCOUNTER

When they contacted me, two months before, I had a very good feeling with this magnificent couple. Being both very busy with their respective activities between Geneva, Alessandria and Vercelli, they needed help to organize this day. Despite the fact that I was 9 months pregnant on the date of the wedding, I embarked on this beautiful challenge.

A RETURN TO ORIGINS

Villa Frua in Stresa was an obvious choice of wedding venue, its warm internal rooms lending themselves perfectly to the event. Alessandra being from Gignese, a small village above Stresa, the couple chose to celebrate there the religious ceremony. In order to remember the grandmother of our bride, Jewish music was played by our organist accompanied by our talented violinist. That was very emotional!

THE WEDDING DAY

After the mass, the festivities therefore all took place at Villa Frua. Thanks to our trusted caterer, guests were greeted with a warm welcome drink, especially appreciated in this season. Alessandra and Roberto had chosen French music for the musical background of the reception in order to give a retro and elegant touch to their big day.

DECCORATION AND COLORS

The wedding palette is sage green and white, elegant and natural colors. Alessandra and Roberto wanted a simple, elegant atmosphere with wintry touches and light.

We are proud to say that this wedding has been published on Wedding Wonderland!

A French Wedding on Lake Maggiore

A French wedding on Lake Maggiore

Venue: Villa Rocchetta | Photographer: Enrico Mocci

Our beautiful French couple, Choé & Guillaume love the lakes area and Italy.

It is really a family story, as Chloé’s parents had already married a few years earlier in Orta San Giulio, on Lake Orta.

Choé & Guillaume wanted a romantic venue directly on the lake and so they chose the beautiful Villa Rocchetta in Ispra, on the Lombard shore of Lake Maggiore.

The ceremony of our French wedding on Lake Maggiore, overlooking the lake, was very emotional with the American gospel. The aperitif was organized in the beautiful park but, due to a trick of the weather (yes we are talking about improvised hail!) we had to move it inside quickly! The reactivity of our trusted catering was decisive in this situation!

So the guests were able to enjoy the party even with plan B. In fact, Chloé’s message after the wedding told us that all the guests were enchanted by their wedding.

Dinner was planned inside the dining room, with a veranda overlooking the lake, while after dinner on the ground floor, in the ancient rooms of the Villa that overlook the outside.

A “COUNTRY” WEDDING IN THE NATURE

Srecko and Alenka, our couple of Slovenian origin, live in France sice many years. They were therefore looking for a wedding venue halfway between Slovenia and Lyon in order to reunite their families and friends.

I received their request a few months before the wedding. A real challenge!

This is how they chose the Borgo San Cristoforo. This domain immersed in nature allowed them to live their dream.

Srecko and Alenka not only wanted to say “I do” in front of their loved ones but also to offer them an amazing experience. In fact, we organized for them over several days: excursions, guided tours, Ferrari ride, surprise birthday of one of the children of the family… And even Alenka’s religious baptism the day before the wedding!

All this with a lot of love and emotions!

ROMANTIC WEDDING ON LAKE ORTA

Sara and Philipp have a holiday home on Lake Orta. It is therefore natural that they chose this place dear to their hearts for their big day.

They offered their guests a dream day…

First of all, the Protestant religious ceremony, full of emotions, took place in the gardens of Palazzo Penotti-Ubertini, a historic building in the center of Orta San Giulio.

The oppressive heat of this day did not lose the smile for our lovers and their guests !

We then organized a boat trip on the lake with refreshments and Prosecco on board. The wedding reception took place directly in the private villa of the spouses…

10 PLACES NOT TO BE MISSED ON LAKE ORTA

Lake Orta is a pearl still unknown, but recognized as the most romantic lake in Italy.

If you decide to visit this beautiful area, here are the 10 places you can’t miss!

ORTA SAN GIULIO

The small medieval village of Orta San Giulio is the pearl of the lake! Walking through its narrow streets, directly on the lake, is already an absolutely living experience.

1.PIAZZA MOTTA

The main square of Orta San Giulio with its frescoes and small merchants. Take the opportunity to take a break on the terrace of one of the many wine bars for a typically Italian “aperitivo”.

2. CHURC OF SANTA MARIA ASSUNTA

Baroque church located at the top of via Caire Albertoletti, just above the Piazza Motta. You have to go up this sloping road to enjoy the lake view from the church.

3. GARDEN OF VILLA BOSSI

Villa Bossi is now home to the Municipality of Orta San Giulio. With its garden directly on the lake, it allows many visitors to enjoy the view of the island San Giulio… It’s also perfect to celebrate civil and symbolic wedding ceremonies. Feel free to contact me if you want to get married in Orta San Giulio!

4. WROUGHT IRON GATES

One of the characteristics of this small medieval village is the richness of its wrought iron doors. To be admired throughout the walk!

5. THE ISLAND SAN GIULIO

From Piazza Motta, take a boat to reach the island of San Giulio, very characteristic with its path of silence. To visit on the island the Basilica San Giulio.

6. SACRO MONTE DI ORTA

The Sacred Mount of Orta (and in general the “Sacred Mountains of Piedmont and Lombardy”) has been included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites since 2003.

It is composed of 20 chapels that represent the different phases of the life of St. Francis of Assisi from its birth to its canonization.

A feeling of peace will overwhelm you during this discovery!

IN THE SURROUNDINGS

7. CHURCH OF MADONNA DEL SASSO

One of the most beautiful views to see the whole lake…

8. PELLA

A small village just in front of Orta San Giulio where you can go by boat and make a small walk before going to Madonna del Sasso for example.

9. LEGRO, PAINTED VILLAGE

Just above Orta San Giulio is the hamlet of Legro, a small town where artists from all over Italy and all over Europe dared to tell the story of films shot in the past on Lake Orta through a series of frescoes on the walls of houses.

10. VILLA CRESPI

Magnificent oriental type villa that you will see from the street at the entrance to Orta. If you wish to visit it, you must book well in advance. In fact, the Crespi villa houses a luxury hotel and a starred restaurant run by the great Chef Antonio Cannavacciuolo.

I can organize as well your excursions: contact me here!

WEDDING SYMBOLIC CEREMONY

Perhaps you wonder what a symbolic marriage is and how to organize your Symbolic Wedding Ceremony in Italy?

Many newlyweds are now asking themselves the same question!

Here are some answers…

Why choosing a Symbolic Wedding Ceremony?

The first question is: why the couples choose a symbolic ceremony? The reasons are varied according to the couple.

1- THE FACILITY

Often this option is considered when marriage abroad seems too complicated to organize. Do not you want documents or worry about civil or religious procedures? The symbolic ceremony is the ideal solution.

2- FREEDOM

Another of the reasons mentioned mainly by couples is the freedom that allows in particular in the place that will host the wedding: a beach, a private garden or even an unusual place. Often outdoors, something that traditional Catholic religious marriage for example does not allow.

3- CUSTOMIZATION OF THE CEREMONY

One of the highlights of the symbolic ceremony is the customization of the marriage. The couple will choose the texts, the readings, the poems, the music, they will talk about themselves and their loved ones. No ready stories or cold and impersonal ceremonies. The spouses will be the center of the attention. Tears of joy could come, get your tissues ready!

It’s YOUR ceremony, so you decide! You will be able to choose the moments you want and at the right time. Have you always dreamed of a short and happy ceremony? Or on the contrary, a long and emotional ceremony? You choose. But… be careful not to fall into the ridiculous!

WHAT ARE THE RULES OF A SYMBOLIC WEDDING CEREMONY?

The only rule is that there is no rule!

However some tips can be given for a successful and memorable ceremony:

As a religious ceremony, create special moments with customized texts read by witnesses or people close to the spouses
Organize moments of music to take some breaks
Avoid a ceremony too short (which could leave guests disappointed) or, on the contrary, too long (and that could become boring)
Do not choose the random celebrant … And yes, often the couple gives this responsibility to a family member. But beware, this is not an easy task! The success of the ceremony is largely based on the celebrant’s shoulders. Everyone can not speak well in front of an audience! For this reason, we advise you to call an external celebrant and professional who will be able to conduct the ceremony.

THE POSSIBLE RITES YOU MAY ADD TO YOUR SYMBOLIC WEDDING CEREMONY:

Within the ceremony you can enter one or more rites, according to your wishes! For example:

The exchange of the rings: almost obligatory, this passage is the symbol of eternal love, connection, infinity, strength, fidelity
The reading of the votes: the newlyweds make promises, proof of their mutual commitment in front of their witnesses and their relatives
The ritual of the sand: symbolizes the newlyweds who will become only one…
The wine’s ritual: the newlyweds seal their wishes in a box containing a bottle of fine wine. In case of difficult steps within the couple, they can open it and read again their commitments, remember why they are together. On the contrary, if everything goes well, they will be able to open the bottle and celebrate their wedding anniversary with dignity! (ideal rite for those who like good things in life)

A ROMANTIC AND ORIGINAL WEDDING ON LAKE ORTA…

Jennifer and David, our young French couple has chosen Lake Orta to say “yes” in front of their loved ones… An original, customized and above all romantic ceremony… Tears of joy were present!

Our two spouses, already parents of a small Tissia, did not want the classic wedding ceremony! For them, everything has been studied to the smallest details: the theme of marriage, colors, flowers, accessories… they wanted a romantic and original wedding on lake Orta !

They wanted this day to leave an indelible mark on their eyes and in the eyes of their loved ones.

They married civilly in total privacy in France and decided to organize a symbolic ceremony on the shores of the most romantic lake in Italy, directly on the terrace of Villa Ortea, where the celebrations continued.

A beautiful day full of emotions (even our Wedding Planner has shed a tear!)…

Elegance and Love on Lake Maggiore …

When Sabina contacted us the first time, we immediately understood what kind of marriage she wanted: an elegant wedding where simplicity and emotion would be the main protagonists. Challenge met!

So… take an amazing couple, a beautiful day in July, the exceptional setting of Lake Maggiore… mix everything and you will get a dream wedding, filled with love and emotions: the big day of Sabina and Benjamin (or Sabi and Ben for the intimate ones).

The preparation of the couple took place in the beautiful and intimate Villa Volpi (Ghiffa, Verbania), villa whose our couple fell in love at first sight.

The symbolic and civil ceremony (yes, yes it exists!) Took place at the water’s edge at Villa Giulia. Fortunately, the guests had handkerchiefs at their disposal because the emotion was intense!

Finally, return to Villa Volpi for the festivities… with a surprise prepared by the mother of Sabina (with the complicity of our Wedding Planner): a tenor came to sing opera songs during dinner (chills guaranteed!) and a firework at the moment of the wedding cake…

Our newlyweds Elodie and Jeremie are very private people, they do not want their faces to appear and we respect their choice. However, we wanted to show you the decoration of their amazing baroque wedding ..

A wonderful decoration thanks to the tastes of our Swiss spouses but also thanks to the know-how of our Wedding Planner.

The preparation of the couple took place in a suite of Villa Crespi, the official civil ceremony in the garden of Villa Bossi and the reception at Villa Decio.
