If you’ve ever dreamed of a lavish, romantic affair for your special day, look no further than Stephanie and Daniel’s stunning Tuscan wedding at Villa Oliva! We’re absolutely smitten with every detail and photograph David Bastianoni so beautifully captured of this sweet couple. Read on to learn Elegante by Michelle J‘s vision behind Stephanie and Daniel’s magical day:
Stephanie and Dan married in the beautiful grounds of Villa Oliva in Lucca. The Jewish wedding ceremony was followed by drinks and then dinner and dancing all hosted outside in different areas of the villa’s gardens. The setting was romantic and joyful; the atmosphere electric. Whilst most guests travelled from the UK, they were joined by friends and family from all around the world. The couple chose a simple white and green colour palette—no more was needed in such a beautiful setting—but the florist took the brief and created the most exquisite floral chuppah (canopy) for the marriage ceremony and beautiful table centerpieces. We used the various sculptures and features around the venue’s gardens as focus points, the first one as a backdrop to the chuppah and then later on as a backdrop to the stage. And Florence-based production company provided a lighting scheme that showcased these features in a very dramatic way. The Couple:
Stephanie & Daniel
The Wedding:
Villa Oliva, Lucca, Italy

Getting ready with your family and friends is an underrated...
