A carriage with white horses, groom in a tail-coat, top hat and cane, bride in a romantic Belle Epoque style dress, a veil with a very long train, a vintage hairstyle with feathers and beads…just look at the pictures… for a day, Orta San Giulio got back in time. A wedding as it could be 100 years ago!

?A dreamy wedding where all gentlemen wore tail-coats and top hats as well as elegant and noble ladies used to wear satin clothes, tulles and chiffons. At that time the only means of transportation in the streets of Orta were the carriages with horses. Just imagine all this on the lake shores!
If you are looking for a retro style setting for your wedding, no doubt Orta San Giulio could be the perfect location to evoke this magical atmosphere. Lake Orta can add extra touch of romance to make of your big day a truly unforgettable event!
Back in 2007, as floral designer, I created all floral decorations for Lucia’s marriage, Marco’s sister.?I was glad that Marco and Maria choose me again for a such special and unique event!?Bride colours choice was based on a combination of ivory and lilac, both for the bouquet and the floral decorations in the church of Maria Assunta.
Pictures you can see here have been given by Maria and Marco’s official photographer Enrico Mocci – www.ortaweddingphotographer.com
Wedding reception was planned in smartest hotel in Orta San Giulio: famous HOTEL SAN ROCCO. Hotel San Rocco is one of the best choices among all wedding venues we have on Lake Orta.
