[field title=”Wedding Colors”]
From the very beginning, our bride carried a clear vision for her wedding day. Overflowing with ideas and inspiration, she found her true direction the moment she stepped into the breathtaking Villa Aurelia. It was love at first sight. Surrounded by its timeless beauty, she knew instantly that her celebration should feel both elegant and modern, classic yet romantic. Together, we designed a wedding aesthetic that highlighted the villa’s historic charm while reflecting her sophisticated spirit. A refined palette of crisp white became the foundation, elevated with delicate touches of gold and a hint of black for contrast. The result was a look that felt effortlessly timeless—graceful, refined, and perfectly in harmony with the splendor of Villa Aurelia.

[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]
A classical script font was carefully chosen to honor the historical significance of Villa Aurelia and to highlight its timeless elegance. The stationery was kept traditional, almost as if it belonged to the villa’s own era. To complete the design, a bespoke wedding monogram was crafted and carried throughout every detail—from the invitations to the welcome sign, and all the way to the printed menus. The overall aesthetic was refined and classical, yet elevated with modern accents. Black ribbons adorned the menus, while elegant white iron chairs subtly echoed the villa’s enchanting gardens. The reception tables were styled with sleek, modern mono-flower vases, creating a clean and contemporary contrast. To add an extra layer of elegance, chandeliers in varying shapes and sizes were suspended above the dining table, casting a warm glow that enhanced the romantic atmosphere. At the entrance of the villa, a decorative table welcomed guests, beautifully draped and adorned with candlesticks—an enchanting detail that set the tone for the evening. Modernity then embraced history in the magical Sala Aurelia, where a striking black-and-white dance floor was set beneath the villa’s grandeur. French Illuminism–inspired sofas added a refined touch of sophistication, creating the perfect setting for an unforgettable celebration that seamlessly blended timeless elegance with contemporary design.

On a secluded tropical island, Nicholas planned the most unforgettable proposal for Paige. As the sun set over the horizon, he led her to the beach where hundreds of flickering tea lights spelled out the most important question of all. At the center of a giant heart made of rose petals, he dropped to one knee and asked her to spend forever with him—a breathtakingly romantic moment that felt straight out of a fairytale.

[field title=”Wedding Gown”]Paige tried on several gowns, but the moment she slipped into this breathtaking dress, adorned with intricate embroidery and a dramatic, flowing train, she knew instantly it was the one. To elevate the look even further, she added long lace sleeves that gracefully left her shoulders exposed, creating a perfect balance of elegance and romance.[/field]
[field title=”Bridesmaid Dresses”]
All five bridesmaids added a striking touch of black to the otherwise timelessly elegant palette. Each wore the same long, flowing black gown, their silhouettes light and graceful. The dresses created a stunning contrast with their all-white bouquets, a carefully curated combination that felt both modern and sophisticated.

[field title=”Food & Drink”]Special attention was given to the cuisine, which is why we selected one of Rome’s finest catering teams. The aperitif was a delightful explosion of traditional Italian flavors, from fresh mozzarella to prosciutto crudo sliced to order. Elegant finger foods were passed around, including crostini topped with salmon tartare and creamy goat cheese. A dedicated show-cooking station offered traditional Italian fried treats, such as miniature panzerotti, adding a studied and carefully curated touch.
For the dinner, a carefully curated meat menu featured dishes that were both authentic and refined. The evening concluded with a lavish dessert buffet, showcasing gelato and classic Italian sweets, a sweet finale that perfectly reflected the couple’s love for tradition and elegance.[/field]
[field title=”Florals & Decor”]
To follow the timeless romance that served as the guiding thread throughout the wedding, we chose to incorporate roses at every moment. The ceremony, held in the Secret Garden, beautifully blended tradition and modernity with an altar composed of parallelepipeds draped in flowing white fabrics, candles, and long-stemmed roses. A special corner was dedicated to the welcome sign, where guests could pick up delicate paper parasols to stay comfortable during the July afternoon ceremony. During the aperitif, elegant white wooden counters were adorned with refined floral arrangements, creating a sophisticated yet inviting atmosphere. But the true “wow” moment arrived at dinner: an imperial table set with crystal chargers edged in gold and exquisite gold flatware. Black ribbons tied the menus to the napkins, introducing a subtle modern accent. Monoflower vases with white roses, candles, and five stunning chandeliers—each covered with greenery on their stands—completed the setup, evoking the feeling of dining in the villa’s lush garden and perfectly complementing the Limoni Garden and the façade of Villa Aurelia. For the evening’s dancing, a black-and-white checkered dance floor echoed the palette of the wedding, while French-inspired sofas in the style of Louis XIV paid homage to the historic elegance of the villa. At the entrance, a decorative table draped in soft fabrics and adorned with candles and elegant bows welcomed guests, setting the tone for an unforgettable celebration.

[field title=”Wedding Cake”]During the cake moment, modernity and tradition came together perfectly. The contemporary twist of a live-cooking cake station allowed the couple to compose their own wedding cake, blending creativity with engagement. The bride and groom personally added the traditional pastry cream and finished the creation with a shower of fresh berries and a dusting of powdered sugar. This modern approach was paired with the choice of a quintessentially Italian classic—the millefoglie—creating a dessert that was both elegant and delicious. The cake cutting became a true spectacle, entertaining guests while giving the couple the joy of crafting their own nuptial centerpiece.[/field]

[field title=”Special Detail #1″]
For the entertainment, we selected one of Rome’s finest live bands to accompany the day. During the aperitif, we designed a carefully curated musical crescendo, transitioning gracefully from the romantic strings that underscored the ceremony to a lively Italian act during dinner. Guests were treated to classic Italian songs performed with traditional instruments such as tambourine, guitar, and drum. Moving from table to table, the singer brought the authentic spirit of Italy to life, creating an immersive and unforgettable experience for everyone.

[field title=”Special Detail #2″]
The bride had always been captivated by the modern elegance of drapery, though initially, we weren’t sure how to seamlessly incorporate it into the villa’s historic setting. Since the wedding took place in July, our vision was to host the entire celebration in the villa’s magnificent gardens, where excessive drapery might have overwhelmed the natural surroundings. Instead, we created a dedicated modern corner inside the villa, directly facing the main entrance, so it could be admired by every guest. Historical candle holders were paired with flowing drapery and single-flame candles, accented with large, elegant bows—blending contemporary style with the villa’s timeless charm.

The couple had an incredible time with an exceptional team of photographers, videographers, and content creators. Their five bridesmaids and five groomsmen, all dressed in black, celebrated alongside them, taking countless photos in front of Villa Aurelia’s striking white façade. The focus was on enjoying the moment while maintaining a high level of elegance, as if they were a regal entourage, creating unforgettable memories and stunning, sophisticated images.
