This shoot was greatly inspired by its gorgeous location, Palazzo Ximenez in the heart of Florence. A sense of history, heritage, and creative display are all there, in rooms with magnificently timeless taste. Taking a few cues from the opulence of the venue, this shoot is intended to tell the story of a day dream. Starting with the lovely gold peacock inspired stationary by Francesca Pulitano, the stunningly quaffed model floats through a golden glowing tea party  in an Anna Fucà Atelier couture wedding gown. The dream lifts just as we encounter an amazing array of wedding cake choices all beautifully created by Melanie Secciani.
