On a lovely fall day in the romantic city of Florence, two hearts became one. If you are ready to be swept off your feet, continue reading, because Michelle and Nick’s lavish destination wedding in Italy was truly a fairytale!

To start, the bride and groom were dressed to the nines. Michelle looked absolutely stunning in her wedding dress – a fitted, long-sleeve, Berta gown adorned with lace.  In exquisite contrast, Nick wore a custom suit with their October wedding date embroidered on the collar.

Nick and Michelle decided on a first look and locked eyes for the first time in a lush garden perched in the Italian countryside. A beautiful backdrop for their intimate moment. I adore first looks, so trust me when I say your heart will melt when you see Nick’s reaction to his bride. He could not help but cry happy tears!

After a church ceremony in downtown Florence, it was time to celebrate. With the help of Em and E Events and Carpe Diem Events, the terraced gardens of Belmond Villa San Michele were transformed into an enchanting display of romance. As night fell and stars scattered the Tuscan sky, guests enjoyed dinner beneath a spellbinding canopy covered in fresh florals and greenery.  After dinner and an outfit change, the newlyweds and their guests enjoyed dancing and gelato – the perfect nightcap to conclude this magical evening! 

Thank you Michelle and Nick for taking me to Italy to capture your special, love-filled weekend with your family and close friends! Scroll to see more from this Lavish Destination Wedding in Italy!!
