For the wedding day, we wanted to create a romantic and glamorous atmosphere against Tuscany’s scenic views and rolling hills. We focused on neutral florals, dramatic chandelier lighting, luxurious textures, and gold accents to complement the natural beauty of Tuscany.

[field title=”Proposal Story”]
Michael and I met in San Francisco, the city we now both call home. After three years and countless memories together, Michael got down on one knee in my favorite city in the world – Taipei, Taiwan. We had a private engagement in front of the iconic Taipei 101, and Michael surprised me with a beautifully written speech before asking me to marry him. We spent the subsequent days celebrating with friends and amazing food in Taipei.

[field title=”Food & Drink”]
The wedding day featured a beautiful culinary experience to reflect the couple’s love for food. During the cocktail hour, guests enjoyed a number of passed appetizers and two buffet stations: one included a live cutting of Tuscan porchetta served with handmade hot focaccia, and another with fried seasonal vegetables. The signature cocktails for the evening were Hugo Spritz and Negroni, served alongside a full bar to cater to all guests. For the dinner reception, guests were served a three-course farm-to-table meal made of the freshest ingredients, paired with Villa Petriolo’s own wines. During the after-party, a buffet station with mini burgers and French fries was served to honor the couple’s American roots.

[field title=”Florals & Decor”]The wedding day’s lush florals, chandelier lighting, and luxurious textures tied perfectly with Tuscany’s natural beauty. For the ceremony, the couple opted for a full-rounded arch with neutral florals at the altar, paired with floral installations to frame the white carpet aisle. For the dinner reception, the bride and groom were seated at a sweetheart table adorned with chandelier lighting, candles, and abundant florals. The sweetheart table faced the two long tables where guests were seated. The guest tables were adorned with chandeliers, candles, floral arrangements, and dinnerware with gold accents.

The couple opted for a traditional Italian wedding cake, millefeuille with diplomatic cream and berries. The chefs guided the couple in making the cake live in front of all the guests!

[field title=”Special Detail #1″]
For the welcome reception, the bride incorporated cultural elements to honor her Hong Kong roots. From hanging Chinese silk lanterns and oriental floral vases to custom-engraved chopsticks – every detail helped bring the bride’s vision to life. For the food, the bride worked with Villa Petriolo to customize a buffet-style menu with Italian and Chinese options. The villa even went out of its way to find and partner with a local Chinese chef to fulfill the bride’s dreams!

[field title=”Special Detail #2″]
Why did you choose Villa Petriolo in Tuscany as your venue? Villa Petriolo felt like our home away from home. The villa has the warmest, loving, and attentive staff, and the property itself has all the elements we were looking for – impeccable Tuscan views, amazing farm-to-table food, breathtaking infinity pools, and luxurious suites that blend modern elements with Tuscany’s rustic charm. It was also extremely important to us to have all our guests stay on-site for the 3-day celebration, and Villa Petriolo had just enough rooms to accommodate all our guests.

[field title=”Special Detail #3″]Do you have a favorite memory or emotional highlight from the wedding weekend?
My favorite memory was sitting at our sweetheart table during the dinner reception, where we were able to look out and see all our closest family & friends in one place, yet have alone time with each other to soak it all in!
