Confession time. I love weddings, but there’s one thing I love more, and that’s travel. So the moment I set eyes on Carolyn and Robert’s gorgeous destination wedding in Tuscany, I was smitten. Clara Boatto of Chic Weddings in Italy worked with the couple to create an elegant wedding weekend for their guests coming to Italy from around the globe! The ceremony took place in front of the 14th century Villa Vignamaggio, and the reception was held in the sunken garden beneath antique chandeliers hanging from the trees. Guests dined on Italian delicacies including baked aubergine and parmesan with buffalo mozarella, basil and toasted pine nuts. And in lieu of a guestbook, notes on sepia postcards of Vignamaggio were collected in a vintage suitcase decorated with memorabilia from Robert’s proposal to Carolyn onboard the British Pullman. I vote we all close our eyes and dream a moment, pretending we have jumped inside these gorgeous images from Lisa Poggi!
