Italian Lakes Wedding Team worked serveral times at Hotel Villa Crespi on Lake Orta.
On our blog you can find dozens of posts telling about weddings we planned at this famous venue which has been included in Relais & Chateau circuit since 2012.

First of all let us tell you something about Villa Crespi. Villa Crespi is located in Orta San Giulio on Lake Orta one of the most fascinating lakes in Piemonte region.

This home was built by the end of 1800 from Beniamino Crespi, a rich Italian business man charmed by Bagdad appeal. It took 12 years to build this wonderful building and for its handcrafts he decided to use the most precious materials. Green marbled came from Polcevera, red one from Levanto, he wanted Sicily jaspers, Swedish, Spanish and French marbles.
As for stuccoes he wished for handmade embossed copper moulds. There were stalls for horses, a greenhouse, a dock a big wall with wonderful iron gates and a 48 meters minaret; all this was surrounded by terraced gardens toward the Lake.

After more than 100 years, after hosting princesses and queens, Villa Crespi is now an luxury hotel. Bridegrooms coming from all over the world simply love it. They choose it for an exclusive ceremony, a special wedding, a different reception, an important party or just for an unforgettable dinner.

Tables at Villa Crespi are not wide so Floral designer Monika suggest to go for medium centrepieces. They must be not too small and not too big. Too small centrepieces will be lost among glasses and bottles and too big centrepieces will make the table too busy.
As far as shades are concerned we can suggest light colours (white an pink in particular). Pale colours are the best to contrast golden and deep blue details and walls inside the villa. Monika suggests orchids, peonies, hydrangeas and roses for a reception to Villa Crespi. All images and floral arrangements above by La Piccola Selva floral designer.
