Inside: A Radiant Three Day Wedding In Tuscany The Wedding Edition

The Story

We met at university 10 years ago, we ran in similar circles and eventually started dating. Jamie proposed in Tuscany Italy during an Italian road trip a few years ago, within minutes of the proposal we had decided that we’d get married in Tuscany too. We fell in love with the landscape, rolling hills, incredible food and wine.

Venue

Our wedding took place over 3 days, the first day was a welcome party which featured Italian pizza and an outdoor cinema. We played wedding episodes from our favourite sitcoms (Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Friends etc). The second day was the wedding, our guests had a wedding brunch and chilled by the pool whilst we got ready. Our ceremony started at 3pm in the Italian garden, followed by aperitifs and an outdoor dinner in the courtyard. We then moved to a cave room for an afterparty which was incredible. We hired Mash Up Kings to perform our favourite garage and R&B songs and served unlimited cocktails and a burger bar to our guests.

Bridal Party

Our bridal party wore custom dresses made by Ginny’s Emporium (South London seamstress). I gifted each bridesmaid a handwritten note, white Telfar bag and bespoke pijamas/ dressing gowns.

Favourite wedding gifts

We did not have a gift list as our guests were taking time off work to fly to Italy to attend our wedding, that was a gift in itself.

Honeymoon

We went to Montenegro for a few days immediately after the wedding to unwind, followed by a three week trip to Sri Lanka a couple months later which was incredible.

Advice

Make decisions based on what you and your partner want, ignore everyone else (its your day)
If you’re having a good time, your guests will have a good time. You dictate the vibe!
Give your bridal party clear roles & responsibilities before the wedding events start. I did not lift a finger during the actual wedding as my bridesmaids were across everything!
