Alan & Yvonne

After the shabby-chic season with its the dove-grey, white and ecru hues was over and the birdcages and lace décor were left behind, it was time to test my skills as a  wedding planner in Lake Garda  at a vintage and sophisticated elopement.
Yvonne and Alan’s interpretation of ‘vintage’ was exquisitely refined yet very personal.
A Chinese citizen from Hong Kong and a world citizen respectively, the bride and the groom selected a villa of rare beauty and unique atmosphere to organize their wedding on Lake Garda’s largest island, owned by the Cavazza family.

Rich in vintage elements, this villa features one of the most beautiful gardens I have ever seen
throughout years of visits as an event and  wedding planner in Lake Garda , Como and Maggiore.

The bride elegantly carried in one hand a red-rose bouquet recalling the early 1930s.
Old roses (Ocean Song, Lady Moon and – my favorite! – White O’ Hara) also composed the décor,
that ranged from vintage pink to pearly hues of white.
Alan and Yvonne’s package for this vintage lake ceremony also featured a band that entertained
guests with a jazz and swing repertoire during the aperitif in the Italian-style garden, but no
package to get married in Italy or, for that matter, in the world, could include the glorious sunset
on the lake we enjoyed! The terrace and overarching loggia were the frame of this perfect day at
dinner.
