Story

Lake Como is undeniably one of the most romantic places to get married not just in Italy, but in all of Europe. Lined with timeless villas and elegant lakeside hotels, the region offers countless dreamy backdrops for weddings of all kinds. For Michelle and Geoff, the choice was clear. They eloped to a villa in the charming village of Laglio, drawn to its serene atmosphere and the promise of a private garden ceremony overlooking the water.

The villa’s garden, bursting with lush greenery, was the perfect setting for their intimate “I dos.” At the center stood a beautiful wedding arch draped in foliage, which they personalized with floral accents in rich autumn tones. The warm fall colors popped vibrantly against the natural greens, echoing the romantic season and harmonizing with Michelle’s wedding look.

Michelle wore a refreshingly modern wedding dress, shorter than traditional gowns, with colorful floral embellishments blooming from the hemline. The dress fell gracefully to her ankles, showcasing her delicate lace wedding shoes. It was a perfect reflection of the couple’s personal style and their decision to do things differently - a quiet, heartfelt elopement far from home, with just the two of them and the stunning views of Lake Como as their witness.
