Vendor Spotlight #2: Tuscany Villa

Italian Vendor Spotlight #2: Tuscany Villa Relais La Suvera Dimona Storica

I found this place on Haute Design

& just had to check it out...

It's located in the hills of Tuscany & is absolutely divine!

Seriously... just seriously...

WOW.

& I just found some wedding photos taken here.

Check these out...

Wow. I'm sold on this place... it's gorgeous!

Haha... although I'm sure there's a ton more beautiful villas in Italy.

but this is probably the prettiest one I've looked at so far!

All I know is my friend's wedding is going to be absolutely exquisite!

Wedding #27: Marie Antoinette & an Italian Villa

My friend said she is envisioning an outdoors wedding in a villa or winery.

So when I found this hotel... I was in awe. 

It's absolutely gorgeous! 

So this wedding inspiration board features 2 things

& 2 things only:

1. Theme Spotlight: A Marie Antoinette Wedding

2. Venue Spotlight: Hotel Villa Michelangelo

If you aren't blown away by the desserts created by My Sweet & Saucy...

Then I don't even know what to tell you because wow...

Venue Spotlight #1: Hotel Villa Michelangelo

A little more about the hotel...

When I first found this hotel in Vicenza, I just loved their outdoor area.

I envision a huge tent being set up for the reception out there

with all sorts of lavish food, desserts & drinks

& obviously a dance floor. 

The hotel also has a spectacular view as seen in pictures above.

Originally it was built in the 1700s as the "country home

of the noble Tomi family of Vicenza."

I think it's beautiful!

Wedding #25: Amore Venezia

One of my friends from colleges contacted me 

about helping her out a little with her wedding planning.

This is really exciting because wedding planning is what I dream of doing,

BUT

even more exciting because her wedding is going to be in ITALY!

So I told her I would do some research on some venues & what not...

But before that, I just had to do an inspiration board!

Because Venice is by far one of my all-time favorite places in the world.

I can still remember the first time I went there & just being in complete awe.

Just not even being able to take it all in...

The gondolas, the streets, the cobblestone, the buildings, the awnings, the everything...

It's love for Venice.

Or shall I say in Italian, "Amore Venezia."

Wedding Inspiration #25: Amore Venezia

So now, some information I have dug up on a wedding in Venice: 

Ceremony Venues:

I picked 3 of what I thought were the most beautiful chapels in Venice...

Although I'm sure there are so many more since there are a lot of chapels there.

Also, there are other locations as well to have a wedding.

But I just did some brief background focusing only on chapels.

1. Santa Maria Dei Miracola

This church was built between 1481 and 1489. The inside is absolutely beautiful & breathtaking...

Would be a lovely place for a majestic & grand ceremony. 

2. San Giacomo dall'Orio

This church was built in the 12th century & is one of the oldest churches in Venice.

The outside is misleading as to the beauty within this church.

I can still remember going into this church mostly because I had to cover my arms...

& since I had nothing I had to borrow my dad's sweater...

3. San Salvador

Reception Venues

For the reception I was thinking a beautiful grand ballroom.

This one I found is absolutely stunning...

1. Luna Hotel Baglioni
