Their florist brought the bride's vision of classic Italian glamour to life

The special deco concept designed by Sartoria Floreale in conjunction with the bride's vision was absolute magic. The floral team created shades of white and golden florals entwined with dried flowers and pops of black. The tables were adorned with candles and table arrangements featuring toffee roses, orchids, brown lysianthus, and spray roses in a nude and golden color palette paired with black pillar candles.

The ancient monastery lent itself to an intimate event with close family and friends

Courtney and Mike had come in from Toronto, Canada to celebrate their wedding day in this ancient monastery by candlelight. The reception included the perfect setup: Guests dined al-freso by candlelight with ethereal, soft draping fabric set above in the cloister. They chose to include an intimate group of friends and their families with authentic Italian food and drinks. The day was everything they envisioned and more: relaxed and familiar, but equally classy with Italian flair, the sounds of Italian music, and the taste of a lovely Aperol-Spritz.
