Because of her Italian heritage, getting married in Italy was always Noelle’s dream, and thanks to a talented team of wedding planners, she and her husband Mark were able to have their destination wedding at Villa Silvana. The wedding was nothing short of classic and elegant, but managed to maintain every bit of the intimate and personal tone that Noelle and Mark wanted for their big day. Italian Wedding Photographer Jules Bower captured the couple as they said “I do” overlooking the Bay of Naples.

Villa Silvana, Sorrento, Italy

We really wanted the feeling of intimacy. We did destination so that we could keep the wedding small. We also really wanted the coast of Italy to play a significant role in the wedding. We kept our budget small and wanted to stick to it, we used the gorgeous Italian Coast as the backdrop and main decoration for both the ceremony and the reception.
I purchased a Monique Lhuillier past season wedding gown at a sample sale in Downtown Los Angeles. After that I took the dress and had the bottom of the dress redone to reflect the newer layered princess style that has shown up in recent seasons.

Our ceremony was very personal. We had one of our very best friends officiate, and he wrote a very personal ceremony. Mark and I also wrote our own vows. I always loved ceremonies that make the guests laugh, so I tried to incorporate funny antidotes in mine
