We’re very busy at the moment putting the
finishing touches to this summer’s weddings for some fantastic couples, and we
can’t wait to see the end results!
So, we thought it would be nice to look
back on some of our weddings from the past. Today we bring you some of our
memories of one very special day, which was truly one of our favourites.
Not only did it take place in the
always-beautiful Langhe region (you can read more about the Langhe by clicking here, if you
missed our post a few weeks ago!) but the theme and colours inspired us
to create a sophisticated, elegant wedding with a little hint of playfulness
too.
We worked with the couple along two main
guidelines: white hydrangeas were to be the flower du jour – in September,
there’s no need for bright colours in flowers or decorations, as the colours
all around the Langhe are so spectacular – and there was to be a theme of flight
running through the wedding to honour the groom, who is a pilot and proud!
The Ceremony:
The couple opted for a traditional church
ceremony, and we decorated the church with the famous white hydrangeas, using
cascading compositions to frame the sanctuary where the religious ceremony took
place. The couple also wanted to include some cream roses in their ceremony to add a touch of romance.
Little touches:
We created a clean design for the invitations
which echoed the theme of flight through a little paper aeroplane, which in
fact ended up becoming the symbol of the whole event – there were even two
little planes perched on the simple, white wedding cake at the reception.

When the guests left the church, they found
some adorable baskets filled with cones of rice to use as confetti, as well as
ribbons for their cars, maps to help them find the reception venue, and a
program for the whole day. All of the stationery was, of course, coordinated
with the invitations they’d already received.
The guests were blown away by our unusual
idea for the seating plan, which brought a touch of fun to the occasion – each friend
or family member was given a boarding pass which told them where to go, and at
the dining room entrance there was even a check in!
The Reception:
The meal and the true celebrations took place between hillsides and vineyards, in
the heart of the Langhe (have we mentioned we love it there?). The venue is
located inside a park, and although the meal took place inside, there were
plenty of touches of the outdoors. Hydrangeas once more took pride of place
decorating the tables, accompanied by gypsophila, candles, and plenty of paper
aeroplanes. Green spheres were suspended from the ceiling, bringing together
nature and flight.
We hope you can see why we enjoyed this
wedding so much – we love creating unique weddings with a personal
touch, and we think you’ll agree that the results looked pretty fantastic!
