Luxury & love meet in this stunning destination Italian wedding
Carolin and Martin's lavish Italian destination wedding was a vision of luxury and romantic stylings! Designed by the incredible Lisa Giolo of italianluxevents - she had this to say about the couple:
"Since the very beginning, more than 1 year before the wedding, Carolin and Martin decided that my agency was the right wedding planning, styling, and designing services for their stylish and romantic destination wedding in Italy. We both knew that we were the perfect match because every decision and conversation was so easy and we always got the "flow". My inspiration came from their French, romantic, and stylish souls, so we created a modern editorial mood perfectly mixed with the Italian heritage of the venue, where every detail was carefully styled and designed for their fairy-tale essence."

Getting ready lakeside at Hotel Laurin
The beautiful couple got ready in their custom designer attire at the historic Hotel Laurin, a Liberty Style Luxury Hotel overlooking the stunning lake where their island venue was located. The bride's stylish robe was designed by Tali.
"The very first vendor to be secured was our trusted and exceptional videographer Whites Film and our dream fashionable wedding photographer Elisabetta Lilly Red who created refined and emotional moments to remember for the rest of their life like in a fashion shoot They captured a range of images that mix wide shots of the entire scene with close-ups of individual vignettes and details. They captured key moments always in the natural light and lots of black and white, giving back the felt emotions every time you look at their stunning pictures and video."
From event designer Lisa Giolo:
"The bride, Carolin, wears an amazing lace gown and a cathedral veil by Galia Lahav, and when the father of the bride first glimpsed his daughter, the tears felt down and the emotions took over. A stylish Loro Piana blue tuxedo for Martin, the Groom, surprised the Groom’s mom and dad with his beauty."
The gorgeous bridal bouquet and florals throughout the wedding were designed by Flowers Living. We love the boho pampas with blush roses!
Gothic Church Ceremony
Their wedding ceremony was held in an intimate, characteristic gothic Evangelic church in Gardone Riviera, where family and friends celebrated Carolin and Martin's emotional wedding vows.
After their heartfelt ceremony the couple brought friends and family down to the nearby dock for unforgettable transportation to their island reception. They experienced a precious wood 1955 boat ride named Corsaro by Scoamar, which was a fun and refreshing moment accompanied by live guitar + voice soundtrack. They disembarked at Isola del Garda, an incredible private island owned by the Cavazza Family.
From the designer italianluxevents:
"I focused on the stunning surroundings of the Island and wanted the lush nature to take over and rule the Villa again, like in the past. Nature inside and out of the Villa perfectly mixed with romanticism and modernity where magical reflections of the sunset on the lake and in the Loggia contributed to creating the stunning Carolin and Martin’s fairy tale. The aperitif took place in the majestic Italian garden made of labyrinth gardens decorated by ancient amphorae with white pampas. Here we had their seating chart made by tall parallelepipeds filled with greenery and roses with beautiful written guests’ names. Everywhere there was a spacious atmosphere for their guests accompanied by waves of sweet fragrances from roses and hydrangeas where they were able to share intimate moments savoring the tranquility of the lake breeze rustling the trees or else be carried away by the rhythm of the outstanding Good Vibes Live Music."
Isola del Garda Reception
Nestled in Northern Italy in the center of Lake Garda, lies the impressive and luxurious Isola del Garda wedding venue.
From the event designer:
"It's a place of unrivaled beauty, rich in history and landscapes, rendered unforgettable by the crystal clear waters of the lake that surrounds it. It’s a Venetian neo-Gothic style villa built in the nineteenth century and adorn with Italian and English hanging gardens, a centuries-old park that welcomes essences from the most remote corners of the globe accompanied by an ancient french glasshouse. For our reception, we choose the Loggia with its 18th-century frescoes which I styled, with elegant, modern, and romantic elements with a touch of French influence. Soft draping linen curtains, sandy color crystal glassware, ivory tablecloths and napkins like the color of the columns, old rose and cappuccino shades for the open roses, white modern parallelepiped centerpieces and a white elegant piano, perfectly matched the exclusive surroundings with its elaborate details of the villa."

From designer Lisa Giolo:
"We moved into the Party/Dancing area where we designed a fashion and glamorous photo booth with chandeliers, a huge gold French mirror, an old rose chaise lounge, and stunning floral decorations all over how the brides dreamed. White pampas, white and blush roses everywhere made the bride amazed. Imagine a photo shoot background where the bride felt like a model! For the groom and his friends, we created a men’s area full of luscious shades of greens, where bespoke and personalized Bride and Groom cocktails were served all night at the mirror bar by Bartenders."
From italianluxevents: "Everything was so beautiful and memorable that the day after, Carolin and Martin wanted to say "ARRIVEDERCI"to me and my staff (Jacopo, Caterina, and Ilaria). They congratulated me for making their dream come true and with both tears in their eyes, they told me that I have created the most beautiful day of their entire life full of the best memories to share in the future. Everything they say to me and everything they expressed was an enormous happiness that filled my heart with love for this beautiful couple."
