Paolo & Laura

Historic estate wedding · near Rome, Lazio, Italy

Paolo and Laura's wedding near Rome was a true Italian celebration, with a big crowd of family and friends. The day began quietly: getting ready in a historic house with tall shuttered windows and a garden of lemon and palm trees, and mum fastening the buttons of a lace gown.

The ceremony took place outdoors under old trees, with a long white aisle between the chairs and battlemented walls behind. Guests cheered them all the way back down the aisle, the aperitivo flowed into a long candlelit dinner in the garden with candelabra and flowers, and the night ended with a bouquet toss and a party that kept going well after dark.
