Tess and Charles shared this amazing villa in Southern Tuscany with 80 of their nearest and dearest for their wedding blessing in the Italian summer. The formal villa works beautifully for this type of event, hosting in the formal. elegant rooms of the main villa the closest family and wedding party, while the remaining guests are housed in more relaxed off site country houses with their own facilities and pool.

The couple opted for a dear family friend to officiate a personal, intimate blessing in the tree enclosed amphitheatre at the bottom of the villa estate. This was followed by cocktails overlooking the views, then a seated meal with two long tables in front of the facade of the villa, as the evening light faded to the golden hour, and the chandeliers over the tables created a refined but intimate soiree vibe for the night.

After the show cooking Millefoglie wedding cake, the guests moved to a whole separate set-up for dancing and evening drinks in the courtyard, with artisan gelato and their own brand of imported DJing for the night’s entertainment.

The couple write:
