Antoinette and Keith’s wedding was a masterclass in classic romance, set against the timeless beauty of the Tuscan countryside.

The entire celebration was a testament to the idea that true luxury lies in simplicity, quality, and the joy of being surrounded by the people you love.

The Morning: A Portrait of Tuscan Calm
The day began with a palpable sense of serene anticipation. As Antoinette and her bridal party prepared, the villa was filled with a quiet energy, the kind that precedes an unforgettable event. Every detail, from the delicate lace of the bride’s gown to the bespoke stationery suite, was a reflection of the couple’s impeccable taste: stylish but never overdone, relaxed but incredibly thoughtful. Our team worked discreetly in the background, ensuring every logistical element was in place so the couple and their families could remain completely present in the moment.
The Ceremony: Vows with Vineyard Views
The ceremony was held outdoors, a breathtaking scene overlooking the golden vineyards that stretch as far as the eye can see. As Sabrina always advises, when your backdrop is as magnificent as the Tuscan landscape, your design should complement it, not compete with it. Antoinette and Keith exchanged vows under a minimalist floral arch adorned with white roses and eucalyptus, a simple and elegant frame for their commitment. As the sun began its descent, the soft, cinematic light created a dreamy ambiance that felt both sacred and profoundly romantic.
An Al Fresco Welcome: Dinner Under the Stars
Following the ceremony, guests were welcomed to the villa’s grand front terrace for the reception. To create a sense of family and intimacy, a long head table for the couple and their loved ones overlooked a sea of beautifully arranged round tables for their guests. The design was effortlessly beautiful, with simple runners of greenery and white flowers, flickering candles, and muted-toned place settings that enhanced the relaxed atmosphere. Guests enjoyed a traditional Tuscan menu paired with exceptional local wines, with heartfelt speeches punctuated by laughter and the joyful clinking of glasses.
The Celebration: Music, Joy, and Unforgettable Moments
As dinner concluded, the celebration transitioned seamlessly indoors to the villa’s modern event space. This is a moment we carefully orchestrate, ensuring the energy flows perfectly from an elegant dinner to a spirited party. The party began, with the first dance and continues fueled by live music and the collective happiness of everyone present. It was a beautiful finale to the day, a space where Antoinette and Keith could truly let go and dance the night away with their cherished friends and family.
