Alex and Scott celebrated their wedding with true authentic Italian vibes on the shores of Lake Como. Their chosen venue, Villa Regina Teodelinda never disappoints in providing an epic backdrop for a classic occasion. Surrounded by family and friends, the couple wanted the day to feel informal and relaxed; with even the speeches becoming a combined group affair. This wedding beautifully shows how to achieve the balance between planned (as you still need structure) and a casual ‘live in the moment’ flow with your guests.

What made this wedding authentic?

“Alex and Scott planned a day that was truly centred around spending time with their closest family and friends. There were no distractions, just good food, excellent cocktails, and lots of opportunities to catch up and spend time together. Even the speeches were fun, discussional and interspersed with contributions from all guests. It really felt like a family day spent in good company, with no strict timetables or rigid plans.” Kat, The Springles

Stand out moment

“Alex and Scott cut their traditional Italian wedding cake in front of the villa surrounded by friends and family armed with sparklers as the sun set over Lake Como. It was a wonderful celebratory moment, especially as everyone was looking forward to eating it for dessert!” Kat, The Springles

Unique moments

“The Riva boat ride was a real highlight for the couple (and for me!) It provided a quiet moment for Alex & Scott to reflect and enjoy a little privacy during the wedding day. There are many different Riva services on the Lake and a good planner can help you find one that’s suitable for your day.” Kat, The Springles

The Meal

To continue the couple’s vision of an informal, relaxed wedding day, they chose a less formal sit down meal as seen most often with Italian weddings. Instead the guests enjoyed the sights and smells as their meal was prepared right next to their tables - pizza!

Choosing your dream team

It is important to take time to decide who is going to fit best into your dream wedding supplier team. You need to clearly explain your vision for the day, giving suppliers the creativity to work out their role within it.
