    Phase 1: Discovery and Visionary Design

    We begin with a deep dive into your story, your style, and what matters most to you. Led by Sabrina, our creative sessions are designed to draw out the heart of your vision.

    We then translate this into a comprehensive design concept, including mood boards, color palettes, and sketches that articulate the look and feel of your entire wedding weekend.

    Phase 2: Curated Venue and Vendor Selection

    With a clear creative direction, we leverage our deep local relationships to present you with a curated selection of venues and vendors who are not just the best in Italy, but the best fit for you.

    We do not work from a generic list. We build a creative team specifically for your event, ensuring every partner shares our commitment to excellence.

    Sabrina’s Tip: For a recent wedding at a historic Tuscan castle, we knew the best lighting designer to accentuate the centuries-old frescoes for the dinner, creating an unforgettable photographic moment that our clients treasured.
