A SLOW AND STEADY START TO THE REST OF THEIR LIVES
Silvia and Manuel eloped in Bagno Vignoni, a small town in the heart of Tuscany, famous for its thermal baths. The philosophy of well-being and slowness that the thermal baths represent was the common thread of their union. They started the day by waking up slow in front of a lit fireplace and enjoying a good breakfast in the welcoming La Locanda del Loggiato. Silvia chose an elegant and sparkling dress by Antonella Rossi Atelier and a natural makeup look realized by Arianna Saura. After an exciting first touch accompanied by a letter written and read by the groom, the couple took an adventurous walk among the rocks and wild nature and reached the breathtaking place where they would exchange their vows.
A NIGHT TO REMEMBER
Their cake was inspired by the texture of the rocks and created for them by Isabella Conti. Among the minimal white of the spa, Motifloral chose for them a composition inspired by the colors of the earth. On a Vespa, they then reached the center of the small village where a table, set by Le Love Society, was waiting for them with a romantic candlelit dinner. Photographer Elisa Rinaldi and Videographer Antonio Rinaldi accompanied them throughout the day in an authentic and discreet way, capturing all of their emotions.
