Ireland-based couple Hannah and Duibhir celebrated their marriage at a classic Tuscan venue, Borgo di Castelvecchio, living out the bride’s childhood dream of having an Italian wedding. Focus was entirely on living in the moment, good food and intimate vibes. With effortlessly chic styling throughout, from the flowers through to the couple’s accessories; this is the epitome of understated cool.
Borgo di Castelvecchio cleverly delivered on big views and traditional touches, all whilst creating a warm atmosphere for this couple and their guests in the picturesque courtyard. “The venue was absolutely fantastic and worth every penny”, Hannah gives glowing reviews of all her suppliers, but offers advice for future planning couples on the importance of using a wedding planner.
Sure we can all agree, Hannah clearly rocks a wedding dress; wearing Yana by designer Kyha, and looking flawless with accessories made in home country Ireland!
