Romantic aperol-inspired wedding in the timeless hills of Tuscany
Surrounded by the rolling hills of Tuscany, Shirlane and Victor celebrated a wedding that felt as if it had been lifted straight from a dream. Their love story began several years ago during a summer trip to Florence, so returning to Italy to exchange their vows at Villa Il Pozzo felt like a beautiful full-circle moment captured by The Real Pura Vida. They envisioned a ceremony that blended understated elegance with the natural beauty of the Tuscan countryside—and this garden, framed by olive trees and centuries-old cypresses, became the perfect setting for their “I do” inspired by the stunning color of timeless Italian Aperol thanks to The Different Twins and Stiatti Fiori.
Advice for the planning process
One piece of advice the newlyweds wanted to share with future couples is to trust the environment you choose. Shirlane and Victor wanted the autumn landscape to speak for itself, enhancing it with floral arrangements in shades of apricot, blush, and terracotta—an ideal palette to echo the warm, rich tones of October. The aisle florals created an intimate corridor of color without ever overpowering the breathtaking view.
Color palette: autumn sunset
The bridal party embraced a refined yet natural style with the bridesmaids in soft pastel tones inspired by the autumn sunset.
Bridal style: luminous and effortless
Shirlane chose luminous makeup and loose waves that moved gently in the breeze.
Timeless black-tie style
Victor and his groomsmen, dressed in elegant all-black, added a modern and sophisticated contrast to the warm palette of the décor.
Floral palette: peach, orange, and apricot
What made this wedding truly unforgettable was the harmony between nature and design. The venue—a historic villa overlooking endless vineyards—offered an atmosphere of serenity and timeless romance. The ceremony took place on a patio overlooking the hills and surrounded by florals by Stiatti Fiori in peach, orange, and apricot.
Quintessential Italian getaway car
Guests made their way to dinner passing a fabric welcome sign and a quintessential vintage Italian getaway car that the couple would use later in the evening.
Al fresco & Aperol-inspired
Guests later gathered on the terrace for an al fresco dinner featuring local wines, artisanal favors, and one of those unforgettable autumn sunsets only Tuscany can deliver. It was a celebration woven with elegance, authenticity, and heartfelt emotion—exactly the Italian experience Shirlane and Victor had always envisioned.
