This next wedding inspiration comes to us all the way from Italy! With soft pinks, peaches and greens, this styled shoot is rooted in strong Italian wedding traditions. From the praying bride, to the veil covered cannoli cake, you’ll feel all the charm and joy of what a traditional Italian wedding is all about.
If you’re feeling inspired, photographer, Alexandra Vonk and coordinator Leontine Lauffer, Il Matrimonio Italiano have a lot more to show you of this Traditional Italian Wedding Inspiration! View the full gallery here

Beautiful details

We wanted to bring out the strong and beautiful details of a typical Italian traditional wedding. We love to keep tradition high by showing some strong accents in its pure way and then combining it with soft and elegant surroundings and materials.

Cannoli Happiness

The cannoli tower and sweet cookies are typical for an Italian start of the day and as a symbol for happiness. In combination with the veil, I was just falling in love with the idea of making that an important part of the shoot.

A wedding to remember

Italy is well known for its drama and strong religious beliefs and that is what makes a wedding in Italy so pretty and swoon to remember for.
