On 28th May Valentina followed another romantic wedding on Lake Orta. Caroline and David tied the knot at Villa Bossi with a lovely outdoor civil ceremony. As tradition wants bride arrived by boat and she was accompanied by three very young bridesmaids. One of them was Caroline and David’s beautiful daughter who scattered petals walking down the aisle. The other two had two wonderful “magic wands” with flowers instead of a bouquet. Little girls loved it.
It was a red themed wedding. Caroline had a teardrop red roses bridal bouquet and red roses were also used for centrepieces and magic wands of little girls. A touch of red was on Caroline and her daughter’s dress too. We planned for bride and groom some photos on St. Julius Island and a romantic reception at Hotel San Rocco to follow.
