During the ceremony, the smooth sound of harp and violin made the atmosphere even more magical.
Outside the Church all guests waited for newly weds for the traditional rice and red rose petals throwing which is a very good wish of good luck in Italy. Have a look to the fancy baskets and wraps containing rice cones for throwing…a sweet idea the bride had for her guests!
About six o’clock in the evening, Valentina and Max, after a lovely boat tour reached by boat private pier of villa for their reception.
Under the beautiful sun of July, guests had their delicious and traditional Veneto aperitif in the Italian garden and wonderful portico.
The evening continued inside, in the frescoed hall.
While music accompanied the event, the wealth of paintings and golden light floods in through the old windows overlooking the garden was the setting for a refined dinner based on typical dishes of the Venetian tradition reinterpreted with sage creativity.
Here’s the end of this wonderful day … back outside, illuminated by soft light of candles and chandeliers always ravished by fresh flowers the cutting of the cake was another suggestive moment of this elegant reception.
Talking about this day Valentina and Max said:
It was not a wedding… it was “the wedding”… the most exciting moment for a couple… but thanks to the meticulous and fantastic organization of “our “wedding planner… everything was almost perfect. Thank you for making possible an idea into a real dream.
