Sexy Bayfront Elopement On The Italian Riviera

Romantic bride groom portrait with vintage peacock chair

These two slipped away to a secluded bayfront beach on the Italian Riviera to tie the knot and the result is something incredible! Before the festivities, the two enjoyed a chill day on the beach with their favorite books. Then, they transitioned into their wedding ensembles, an ethereal tulle gown for the bride, and a fine ivory suit for the groom. The song of a live violin danced on the breeze as the two exchanged vows. Then, what could be a more perfect finalé to this beach wedding than a picnic-style dinner right there on the beach? 

With Love, Wedding dreamed up this stunning wedding inspiration at Eco Del MareJessica Tua Flower Stylist focused on white, peach, and blue for these beautiful floral arrangments using both dried and live flowers. Carolina Serafini Photographer captured plenty of candid moments between the two as they enjoyed their day on the beach and Rock N Love Films worked alongside them, getting it all on film.

THEIR OWN SLICE OF PARADISE

We love natural colors, the colors of the sea and of the earth–this was the main inspiration for this beautiful beach wedding design. The Eco Del Mare in Lerici on the wonderful Italian Riviera, right next to the Cinque Terre, is a luxury property in a private bay. It's a super-exclusive corner of paradise–a perfect place for an engagement or an intimate beach wedding. In order to find the right mood, we organized a photo session for Victoria and Colin on the day before their wedding. The sound of the ocean and the weak light of the morning sun became the frame for our young lovers.

DRESSING FOR THE OCCASION

For the pre-wedding session, Valentina Massari, Wedding Planner from With Love, Wedding, chose a nude palette that combined perfectly with the natural setting of Eco Del Mare. The outfits were hand-made by Pun.to and embroidered with the date of their wedding, which will now remain as an unforgettable memory on their clothes. On the day of the wedding, the sun was shining bright and the sea, rough and impetuous, was echoing on the rocks of the bay, gifting us with beautiful shadows of blue. Victoria, with makeup and hairstyling by Rosario of Merci A Vous, wore a light, delicate dress by Annagemma Lascari–the perfect representation of the bride’s personality. Colin, confident and handsome in his white suit by Lubian, let his eyes speak for his feelings while waiting for his lover next to the floral archway–a result of Valentina’s organization and Jessica Tua’s expertise, flowers, and creativity.

AT ONE WITH NATURE

Framing the ceremony, during the exchange of rings by My Golden Age, was the soft music of Musica Evento, whose notes created a harmonious melody with the sound of the sea. For dinner, a white table with the sea view was organized, a mise en place dreamed up by Valentina and Lorenzo from JD Events. It was a simple tablescape with comfortable seating made of soft pillows with the colors of the sea and the sand, all laid down on a carpet. The soft candlelight created the right atmosphere, as well as a table runner of flowers and shells, a menu embellished by golden leaves, and the coordinated image by Papries on the plate. To conclude this beautiful day, the wedding cake, made by Altroché Dolci, was the sweet representation of the love of this beautiful couple.
