Orange blooms filled this autumn micro wedding in a Tuscan farmhouse
Kassi & Matt's intimate wedding in Italy
When Kassi and Matt decided to exchange vows, they knew exactly what they wanted: an intimate celebration in the heart of Tuscany, surrounded only by their closest loved ones.
Their small wedding in Italy took place at a sun-drenched farmhouse overlooking the rolling Chianti vineyards of Montespertoli, where golden September light painted everything in romantic hues.
With their wedding planner, Eleonora, orchestrating every detail - from vendor recommendations to day-of coordination—the Colorado couple created a day that felt both effortlessly elegant and deeply personal.
From the bride's dreamy boho wedding dress to vibrant floral arrangements against vineyard backdrops, from meaningful ring choices to live music floating through the Tuscan air, every moment reflected their vision of what a small wedding in Italy should be: intimate, intentional, and absolutely unforgettable.
A Tuscan farmhouse overlooking Chianti's vineyards
The venue for this intimate wedding in Italy was nothing short of magical - a traditional Tuscan farmhouse perched on the hills of Montespertoli, offering sweeping views of the legendary Chianti wine region.
The property's rustic charm provided the perfect canvas for an elegant outdoor celebration, with different areas thoughtfully utilized throughout the day. The upper garden became the ceremony site, while the pool area hosted cocktail hour, and the lower patio's pergola sheltered the dinner reception.
The farmhouse's authentic Tuscan architecture, combined with those endless vineyard views stretching toward the horizon, created an atmosphere that was both grandly romantic and warmly intimate.
It was certainly the for Kassi and Matt among all the wedding venues in Italy that they looked at.
Planning their small wedding in Italy from Colorado
From their home in Colorado, Kassi and Matt entrusted their wedding planner in Italy, Eleonora, to bring their Tuscan dream to life. Eleonora managed every aspect of the celebration, from recommending and booking all vendors to coordinating the intricate timeline of their September wedding day.
The planning process required careful attention to the venue's unique characteristics, including the single dirt road access and limited parking, which Eleonora expertly navigated. She coordinated deliveries from multiple vendors arriving throughout the day, arranged for essential amenities like portable facilities, and created a seamless flow from ceremony to celebration.
Her local expertise ensured that every detail aligned with both the couple's vision and Italian wedding traditions, allowing Kassi and Matt to simply arrive and enjoy their perfectly orchestrated day.
A garden ceremony surrounded Chianti views
At four o'clock on a late September afternoon, guests gathered in the farmhouse's upper garden for an outdoor ceremony that captured the essence of this micro wedding in Italy. A vibrant floral arch framed the couple against the Chianti hills, with additional flower compositions adding pops of color to the intimate setting.
Matt arrived on foot from their nearby accommodation, walking alongside both mothers in a touching processional moment, while Kassi's father drove her to the villa before walking her down the aisle. As piano and voice filled the air with Kacey Musgraves' "Butterflies," their small group of loved ones witnessed a fifteen-minute ceremony that was both meaningful and perfectly timed.
The couple exited to the joyful sounds of Natasha Bedingfield's "Never Found a Love Like This," beginning their married life surrounded by Tuscan beauty.
Boho elegance under the Tuscan sun
Kassi's wedding dress embodied the free-spirited romance of their intimate wedding in Italy. Her boho-style gown perfectly complemented the natural Tuscan setting, flowing effortlessly as she moved through the farmhouse gardens and vineyard backdrops.
The dress's relaxed elegance reflected the couple's approach to their entire celebration—beautiful without being overly formal, special without losing authenticity. During golden hour portraits among the Chianti vines, the gown caught the late afternoon light in photographs that captured both the dress's dreamy quality and the bride's radiant joy.
This choice perfectly represented how a small wedding in Italy can feel both elegantly styled and genuinely personal, allowing the bride's natural beauty and happiness to shine through every moment.
Rings that tell their story
The couple's wedding rings reflected their individual styles while symbolizing their union.
Matt chose a bold black band that matched his personal aesthetic - strong, modern, and distinctive. Kassi's ring took a different approach: a delicate design combining gold and white gold metals with a single gemstone, elegant in its simplicity.
The contrast between the rings - his dark and substantial, hers lighter and more refined - represented how two different people can come together in perfect harmony.
These meaningful choices added another layer of personalization to their micro wedding in Italy, proving that even the smallest details can carry deep significance when couples take time to select elements that truly represent who they are together.
Tuscan flavors and musical moments
The celebration continued with distinctly Italian touches that made their small wedding in Italy unforgettable. Cocktail hour around the pool featured local specialties - polenta cakes, fried bread dumplings, focaccia sandwiches, fresh tomato and mozzarella, and pecorino cheese - paired with Aperol Spritz, Hugo Spritz, and Limoncello Spritz.
A quintet performed during this relaxed hour while guests mingled with vineyard views as their backdrop. Dinner under the pergola brought potato tortelli, norma mezze maniche, and bombette, accompanied by local organic white wine.
Throughout the evening, heartfelt speeches from parents and loved ones punctuated the meal. The celebration concluded with millefeuille cake adorned with berries, followed by the couple's first dance to Old Dominion's "One Man Band," then special parent dances, and finally open dancing that carried late into the Tuscan night.
An intimate wedding designed to perfection
What made this intimate wedding in Italy truly special was how every element flowed seamlessly from one magical moment to the next.
The carefully planned timeline allowed guests to experience different areas of the property - from garden ceremony to poolside cocktails to dinner under the stars. Vibrant flowers with cream-woven chair accents brought color against the natural Tuscan landscape.
Live music transitioned from classical ceremony sounds to upbeat party favorites spanning disco, retro, and early 2000s hits. The celebration's intimate scale meant every guest felt essential to the day's joy, every toast felt personal, and every dance felt celebratory.
