For some reasons 12 July 2014 has been a very important day for La Piccola Selva Floral Designer. We come back to tell you about this only now as we felt that after few years it was a good way to celebrate a romantic anniversary!
As the matter of fact for the first time we had the chance to work for a wedding inside the abbey just on St. Julius Island. A wedding celebrated on St. Julius island is something really unique…

Lake Orta is not only Orta village and wonderful St. Julius Island. Its land is full of hidden treasures that are a little off beaten track destinations but surely enchanting.  Buccione Beach and Bucintoro del Vescovo are the first of some posts on our blog dedicated to hidden treasure on Lake Orta. Small jewels that could be the perfect frame for an intimate and romantic wedding or an informal and fun event. Just like what we are going to discover today: Buccione Beach (Lido di Gozzano).

An Italian-Chinese wedding it not something that happens so often on Lake Orta

Claire and Kevin got married last July on Lake Orta on a fantastic sunny day! They planned a travel themed wedding with a Scottish twist. They invited a lot of guests who were happy and pleased to join such a wonderful day.  We can be sure that this was one of the biggest Scottish wedding we planned on Lake Orta.

Lake Orta could be the perfect setting for a romantic elope in Italy. We have many couples who ask us a cosy, intimate and quaint destination for their elopement in Italy. We are glad to suggest Lake Orta, its island and its village. It can be a perfect choice: the village is all medieval and fully pedestrian. It is small and intimate and ceremony venues are so very close to any restaurant or hotel where you can plan your celebratory meal. A romantic boat trip could be a special treat for a romantic day and photos on St. Julius island are surely the most evocative!

My first post of 2015 is for last wedding of 2014 season I planned on Lake Orta. As wedding planner on Lake Orta I can say that 2014 was surely a great year full of wonderful events and lovely weddings. Gaelle and Ryan’s wedding was the best way to close such a great challenging year! I had the pleasure to meet Gaelle in Orta in 2014 summer. She is a wonderful smiling person. She is American but she is fluent in Italian. She studied at MIP in Milan. A clever, smart and smiling young lady with a refined taste.

Who said that the lakes are not appealing in Winter? Lakes could be poetic, mystic and romantic even in Winter time and especially at Christmas!
If you are planning an off season intimate winter wedding Lake Orta could be the perfect setting. That frosty, glowing and silvery feeling you are looking for for your holiday themed wedding!
We decided to tell you about this wonderful intimate winter wedding on Lake Orta because

Planning a day before event on Lake Orta could be a great way to get together and create the right atmosphere to be enjoy the wedding day, the day after and the full staying. We usually plan lovely trips on the lake, boat tours, casual dinners, pizza parties, beach parties, golf trips for men or spa days for ladies, aperitifs or buffet on St. Julius Islands and trips to close by Lake Maggiore. We had a very original idea for Deepa and Andrew…

With this post I have the great pleasure to write about a wonderful couple I had the chance to meet: Adele and Todd. They are two wonderful British guys who fell in love with Lake Orta. They chose this wonderful and romantic spot of Northern Italy for they intimate and charming wedding. Adele is a perfect bride! She is joyful, smiling and with a great style! She had very clear ideas for her wedding on Lake Orta and I was so happy and pleased to help her to make her dream come true.

We were supposed to get married in Las Vegas, but then we looked at each other and understood that happiness exists only if it is shared with the people we love and who love us” writes Evelyn, the beautiful Brazilian bride protagonist of this DIY wedding with Gabriele. “We chose Lake Orta because it is a magical place where time seems to stand still and the emotion that pervaded us since the very first instant was that of feeling like the characters of an ancient fairy tale which we no longer wanted to leave”.
