Karina & Steven
Story
Flying across the Atlantic from Canada, Karina and Steven weren’t just chasing a wedding day - they were chasing a dream. And with the help of their dedicated wedding planner in Italy, that dream unfolded like a fairytale, right in the heart of Florence.
Before their “I dos,” the couple shared a quiet, heart-stirring moment on the Ponte Vecchio, the city’s most iconic bridge above the Arno River. With Florence’s classical buildings as their backdrop and the sun casting golden light over the rippling water, their first look felt like something from a romantic film. For a few tender minutes, the world seemed to slow down - just two people, one timeless city, and all the love between them. Honestly, it was pure magic - perhaps even more romantic than the ceremony itself.
Their vows were exchanged atop the terrace of a luxurious hotel, where simplicity reigned and the view did all the talking. The Tuscan hills, tall cypress trees, and scattered terracotta rooftops created a storybook scene that needed no embellishment. After the ceremony, Karina and Steven stole a few moments for newlywed portraits with Florence’s skyline as their backdrop - the Duomo, Giotto’s Campanile, and the sea of red-tiled rooftops bathed in the glow of an autumn sunset.
As the couple rejoined their guests for a relaxed cocktail reception on the terrace, the warm breeze carried laughter and clinking glasses through the air. The evening unfolded inside the hotel’s magnificent event room, crowned with stained-glass ceilings and a grand chandelier that sparkled like a final flourish to their magical day.
From start to finish, it was everything they had imagined -romantic, elegant, and unforgettable. A true Italian fairytale.
