A fairy tale wedding at Balbianello & Villa Aura, Lake Como, wedding gallery on lake Como

Melissa

"I couldn�t be happier� I have now married my best friend!"

Adrian

"She�s so beautiful! She�s my princess!"

Melissa and Adrian celebrated their day by exchanging their vows under the arches of Villa Balbianello. As the villa is only reachable by boat, the bride arrived on a wooden venetian boat together with her father and bridesmaids, adding magic to her day. After the ceremony the guests enjoyed a lake tour while the bride and groom decided to be more adventurous by taking a fun speedboat ride. The reception was held in a private villa over the lake. The young couple and their guests enjoyed the rest of the night with lots of dancing.

Wedding Ceremony

Villa Balbianello

The ceremony was held at Villa Balbianello. A romantic civil ritual took place under the arches of the stunning villa. The ceremony setting didn’t need much decorating as it is already gorgeous; the bride decided to have a beautiful composition of soft pink roses, white hydrangea and orchids over the ceremony table as well as white hydrangea and rose bouquets at the end of every chair.

Wedding Reception

Villa Aura

The theme of the wedding was pink and gold. The reception looked gorgeous with small, glass vases of pale pink roses and white hydrangea.The table cloths were antique pink and were perfectly accompanied by the gold under plates and crystal glasses with matching outline. As the sun was setting and the light dimming, the fairy lights all over the marquee began to shine. Everything was just perfect, so dreamy, just like a fairy tale!
