17 Set A simple wedding just outside Florence
Patrick and Lindsay and their simple wedding.
Although not all the couple dream a lavish wedding to plan a stylish simple wedding is not that simple. Patrick and Lindsay, are two diplomats’ officers that met at Uni. After that moment they never left each other and kept trying to obtain assignments in the same country.
Being travellers and always surrounded by etiquette and diplomatic ceremonials, they wanted their wedding to be simple. An affair where everyone felt like home and be able to have fun. In their minds, the big wasn’t a big celebration but to celebrate love, family and friendship.
The place
Correspondingly, they were looking for a place with character and style but at the same time with a homey feeling. Guests, were of coming from all over the wedding so the ideal place was somewhere close to an airport and a city, to offer multiple activities to do during the day. Their choice ended up around an historical villa just outside Florence. The villa, surrounded but the countryside, was the perfect combination of glamour and simplicity that Patrick and Lindsay were looking for their simple wedding.
This picturesque place reflects charm but without being too posh. It was able to accommodate families and close friends on its grounds, but at the same time it has enough outside areas to host the full event. With extensive gardens, full of flowers and beautiful interior halls was a wow factor for all the guests.
The Florals for a simple wedding
Less is more. Lindsay, wanted to give the wedding flowers a fresh and clean look with a recall of the Tuscan countryside. For her simple wedding she got inspired by the Mediterranean nature.
The leading point was made by the smell of rosemary, sage, mint and other aromatic herbs. Shades of green, brown, natural grey and white made the wedding color scheme. Bride’s bouquet was something completely different from the rest of the florals. Despite Lindsay wanted a cohesive look, she dreamed a green and white piece for herself. This twist of greenery and tiny little flowers tied with Lindsay’s grandmother wedding dress lace, boosted the rustic glamour aesthetic.
Natural herbs in rustic pot adorned the long table, placed in front of the villa, just at the end of the Italian garden. They added and incredible natural look to this simple wedding. Groups of different aromatic herbs were alternate with many candles of different sizes. The couple also realised handmade name cards with monograms and personalised limoncello bottles of each guest.
The Dress & Attire
The stunning simplicity of the bridal gown was captivating. A backless corset of lace was paired to a soft skirt, made of multiple layers of lace and silk. The long trail was delicate and added a super chic romance to the overall look. To complete the look, Lindsay wore a pair or rustic brown sandals. She wanted to be comfy walking around and taking pictures to fully enjoy the big day.
Patrick wanted to look elegant but not rigid in his suit. He wore a blue dress with a white shirt and an elegant tie. Simply perfect for the occasion.
No bridesmaids or maid of honour and no groomsmen or best men were involved in this simple wedding. The couple wanted to stay away from all traditions
