Romantic garden wedding surrounded by nature in Veneto

Planning their destination wedding in Italy

Eleonora was on top of everything when Anastasia and Charles booked Peach Perfect Weddings for their big day in Italy.

The whole planning process lasted more than a year from the time the couple signed their contract with us. They wanted a mini family vacation with eight of their loved ones flying all the way from Australia to Italy.

Eleonora helped them find the perfect venue for the garden wedding and mini vacation. It was a hilltop villa surrounded by vineyards where Anastasia, Charles, and their loved ones stayed for four days.

They requested a simple outdoor ceremony surrounded by vibrant greens, an intimate wedding dinner for their small group, and a beautiful party under the night sky, and they got more than that!

About the wedding venue

Picking this Italian villa for your destination wedding could be one of the best decisions you'll ever make as a couple. It's a perfect venue for lovers who dream of a peaceful location among the hills for their special day. This hilltop villa hides within a secluded medieval city that could well be considered an off-the-beaten path in the Veneto region.

It's a destination for artists who need inspiration from among the vibrant yet quiet Italian countryside. That makes it an excellent location for your wedding and honeymoon in Italy. Imagine all this refreshing nature surrounding you as you recite your vows and spend quality time with the love of your life.

You can visit the attractions in this medieval town to get a glimpse of its history and culture, or simply spend quiet mornings at the villa's gardens and lazy afternoons walking along its vast park. Your choice!

The romantic garden ceremony

Let's start from the beginning of his romantic, intimate wedding in Italy. Anastasia and Charles got ready in two different areas of the villa so they wouldn't see each other before the ceremony. The bride was independent, doing her own makeup and wearing her own dress. She only needed help fixing the back of her dress and putting on its accessories.

She wore a vintage-looking, lacy dress with a sweetheart neckline and off-the-shoulder long sleeves that made Anastasia look very classy and divine. Her look was a wonderful surprise to her groom and their guests, who were all gathered and waiting for her in the garden. After getting ready, Anastasia posed for the photographer for some pre-ceremony bridal photos. Everyone looked stunned as she walked down the aisle in her natural makeup look and divine wedding dress. More than anyone, Charles was the most surprised and excited because it was his first time to see her that day. Unlike most couples, the two did not have their first look, so you could only imagine Charles' feelings all bottled up as he waited for this moment. Not surprisingly, he cried in awe and excitement the moment he saw Anastasia!

The couple's wishes came true when they tied the knot in the midst of the villa's garden surrounded by a small group of eight guests. It was an intimate ceremony that was filled with tears and pure joy as the couple shared their love story and confessed their love for each other.

The ambiance was even more magical with the string quartet playing in the background.

The ambiance was purely romantic, with the sun shining its golden rays at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. The ceremony lasted for more or less 30 minutes, but it was the most genuine part of the day. After that, their guests enjoyed aperitifs in the garden while Anastasia and Charles spent the rest of the afternoon having their photos taken in the most iconic spots of the venue.

The after-ceremony photoshoot and wedding dinner

While their guests enjoyed cocktails and snacks, the couple roamed around the venue for their wedding photos. They started with the garden where they had the ceremony, and the golden hour was just beginning. They used brown straw hats in one of the photo sessions, then they posed right in front of the villa, showcasing its traditional and laid-back facade.

They also dropped by the vast park until they finally joined their guests for the mini program. Before the wedding dinner, Anastasia and Charles did their First Dance and enjoyed a sumptuous feast with their loved ones. The whole wedding party was seated at the lower panoramic terrace, where they spent the rest of the day having dinner and dancing under the night sky.
