Today’s rustic, joy-filled wedding takes place in one of my favourite countries, Italy. After several years living in China, Chiara and Lorenzo really missed all they had grown up with: glasses of wine with friends, sun, good food under the blue sky….. This was all they wanted for their wedding. Something special from everyday life, nothing more. And their celebration embodies the saying that ‘simplicity is the essence of happiness’….

So when it came to planning their wedding they wanted to draw on their past. Recreate some of their childhood memories. Having Sunday lunch with relatives outside in the countryside, with simple homemade food. Relaxing after lunch, lying on the grass waiting for the sun to set….. 

Bride Chiara told me “We wanted just to recreate a typical Tuscan party. Sun shining, wind in your hair, good wine and food, good vibes.

We didn’t want to plan too much. We just wanted to relax and enjoy our day. SO we kept everything simple – including our attire.”

How’s that for a backdrop to a wedding ceremony?? I love how they kept the decor simple, letting the landscape wow.
