Hunter Ryan Photo effortlessly documented this Italian destination wedding, planned by Ema Giangreco. The wedding celebrations kicked off with a red and green, Italian-theme rehearsal dinner with traditional pizza, tomato accents, and plenty of bread. The morning of the wedding, the bride got ready in a suite with her girls as she prepared to meet her husband-to-be for an intimate first look. The bridal suite was gold gilded with beautiful artwork and Italian accents. She slipped into her stunning beaded dress, dazzling at every angle. They met for a first look in front of Villa Valentini Bonaparte, as they prepared to say ‘I do’.
The wedding ceremony took place outdoors, tucked away in a beautiful grassy area with a stone and iron fixture marking the spot. The aisle was lined with lush florals from Artemisia Fioristi adding pops of pink and burgundy to the green grass. From there, guests moved into a cocktail hour on the grass terrace, enjoying drinks and light bites.
They opted for a tented reception on the villa grounds with spectacular gold chandeliers, green velvet lounge areas, and round tables. The space was transformed with lush florals and mossy accents, creating a beautiful garden-scape reception design. Guests enjoyed a seated meal before filling the dance floor for an evening of fun. Our couple opted for a large Italian millefoglie cake that they topped with berries and powdered sugar, in a fun photo-worthy moment. DJ Alberto Forzini kept the vibes high as our bride changed into a short satin dress for dancing. This Italian destination wedding was incredible from start to finish and one for the books— we hope to be back in Italy soon!
