101a7926

Barbara married Francesco, owner of a popular venue in Prato in the heart of Tuscany, in a gorgeous wedding featuring the perfect pops of color, effortlessly chic guests, and a classic-meets-contemporary vibe. White and green florals by Simone Sardelli grounded the couple's chosen color palette for the day amidst the light blue and white colors of Prato. Planned with the help of Consuelo Wedding Planner and photographed by Isabella Pratesi Fotografia and captured on camera by Niccolò Isacchini, this fashion-forward wedding at Il Cerretino is the perfect inspo for any bride aiming for "light & airy."

An explosive "I do" moment

To end their ceremony, the couple featured an explosion of light blue and white that delighted guests and made for an absolutely epic photo opportunity.

Design inspo: private & cozy backyard

For the reception, Consuelo Wedding Planner transformed the well garden at Villa Il Cerretino into a pace that felt like their own backyard. To create the atmosphere of warmth, closeness, and natural ease that the couple desired, they worked on making this stunning venue - a Medici family estate dating back to the 14th century - feel like a welcoming garden for the guests. The event team transported and placed eight olive trees on the lawn and lit the space with beams of light radiating from a central pole adorned with rattan chandeliers.

Light and airy centerpiece design

Arrangements of hydrangeas, delphiniums, cockscombs, amaranthus, hemlock flowers, and anthuriums decorated the bare wooden tables, delicately laid with strips of fabric running across a mix of imperial and round tables. The sense of natural beauty created by the table mix, the lighting, and the floral compositions enriched with olive trees, was also reflected in the bride’s bouquet earlier in the day.

Millefoglie & fireworks

Instead of opting for a traditional wedding cake, instead the newlyweds chose a stunning millefoglie cake that captured the essence of simplicity and authenticity. As they cut into the flaky layers, the sky lit up with an incredible fireworks display courtesy of Fuochi Show.
