Traditional Elegance in Italy, II

September 9th. 2009 by Abby Larson | Filed Under | 20 comments

Corbin Gurkin is the voice behind the AMAZING photographs from this Italian, oh-so-elegant wedding. It’s a refreshing change from the rustic chic affairs that we feature here and I am loving the soft, subtle palette and the traditionally gorgeous styling.

The dress that the bride is ROCKING is by Monique Lhuillier. We actually asked her what her one piece of advice for brides would be and she said…

Pay attention to every detail before the wedding, but remember to let go of control on the day so you can focus on enjoying yourself!

Enough said.

Pretty, pretty, pretty. The space alone is enough to make me want to hop on a plane to Italy and get married all over again. The cute couple added a bit of pink, a bit of glam and a bit of gorgeousness to make the entire day absolutely perfect.

    Beautiful...great light, happy couple, incredible location!

    Abby do you have any idea where I could find out where the centerpieces are from. One of my clients is looking for that EXACT type of centerpiece. THANK YOU! The wedding is of course gorgeous!

  7. Teresa says:

    Wonderful pictures! Please tell me what the location is, it looks gorgeous!

  8. Corbin says:

    Thanks so much for the lovely comments! To answer a couple questions, Anna & Massimo were married at the Church San Pietro in Milan and then the reception venue is Villa Bozzolo in Casalzuigno, Varese.

    The centerpieces would have come from the florist in Italy so if you're in the States, it might not be feasible to source these exact ones, but I have seen them at a number of US weddings as well so I think they must be out there. I'll see what I can find out!

    PLEASE HELP. I am planning a wedding at a villa in Italy Too! Where did this weeding take place? Mine will be in Greve in Chianti 30 min south of Florence in Tuscany. I need a florist and I love these flowers - who did them? Do they have a website? where are they located? Please HELP!

  10. Lauren says:

    @Corbin -- thank you so much! Any assistance is great appreciated. I forwarded this to my client and she almost died with delight -- so beautiful!! Thank you!!

  11. Corbin says:

    Lia,
    This wedding took place in Milan so a florist up there probably wouldn't be useful to you but you should get in touch with the local florist in Panzano (just near Greve): http://www.marieloufiori.it/index.php I do a lot of weddings in that area and she is definitely the one most often used. You'll just need to send photos of your inspiration. Hope this helps!

    For all of you who love the candle centerpiece- I found something pretty similar at Crate and Barrel ;) Not quite it, but I feel it's very close! http://www.cb2.com/family.aspx?c=585&f=5512

  13. Carol says:

    Everything is so lovely! And what a beautiful setting!

  14. What an amazing venue! Gorgeous bouquet too...

  15. OMG! I'm so glad you posted this!!!! I'm photographing in Italy in October! Such inspiration:) Thanks!

    Corbin,

    Thank you so much for the suggestion. I truly appreciate it - I'm from nyc and there are countless talented vendors here so when we decided to wed in Tuscany I got really nervous about planning everything from afar with vendors I don't know and have never heard of.

    Best of luck,

    Lia

  17. Corbin says:

    My pleasure, feel free to email me at photo@corbingurkin.com if you need help with vendors...I've spent about 5 months in Tuscany each year while I'm not in the States for the past six years so I have lots of resources in the area.

    Best,
    Corbin

    Corbin,

    Lovely pictures! My husband and I plan to renew our vows in Tuscany next summer. We will be staying in Panzano, which we dearly love. Thanks for the florist suggestion (I have never needed flowers there). We have visited many churches in the area, but want to find a small church with lovely interior (some are a bit too modern inside for our taste). Any ideas are welcome!

  19. Sam says:

    I'm having my wedding in Tuscany and I love the look of these pictures! I'm curious to know what cinematographer they used!
