Despite the intricate bureaucracy, Italy, makes really easy to international couples to have a legal wedding. More in detail, Tuscany is well known for his beautiful Town halls. There is nothing more romantic than a civil elopement in Florence.

Cepa and John, wanted something special and intimate but also legally binding. Moreover, they were travelling with their little cute son and wanted him not to feel the stress of a big affair. after considering the options available between countryside, small villages and big cities, they booked the terrace of the registry office of Fiesole, just few miles away from Florence.

The Dress & Attire

Cepa wasn’t the classic bride. She had very unique ideas about how things should have been during the day. As well, she had the same approach with the wedding gown. A unique hand made short dress was a true surprise on the day. The distinctly Sixties inspired look, gave a fresh and distinctive vibe at the attire of the bride. The short wedding dress was paired with a white leather oxford shoe. This combo was absolutely stunning. Simple but at the same time extremely stylish. Cepa looked stunning for her civil elopement in Florence.

The little boy, wore classic and comfy pants with nice suspenders and a white shirt. A blow tie was the cutest touch to give to this little man a weddingly look. John, wore a classic and light grey suit.

Getting ready in one room with two boys it takes a lot of effort. That is why the bride decided to book a separate room for herself to get her makeup and hair done and to enjoy a little the wedding morning. While Cepa was getting ready, John took their son for a special breakfast in one of the best pastry shops in Florence. The best way to chick off the day.

While John was returning to the hotel, the flowers were delivered in Cepa’s room. An surprising wild bouquet, made of fall flowers. The wild greens, combined with the scotch broom, berries and orange roses. A truly fresh harvest bouquet in the wood.

An orange hues tiny buttonhole was also brought along with the one for the groom. this duo couldn’t have been more romantic. It remembered the importance of the family and how cute are the little boys dressed up, LOL!

Not other flowers were ordered for this civil elopement in Florence, but everything was simply perfect. A clean and natural look, focused on emotions and family.

Cepa and Cepa took a private transfer to Fiesole. Fiesole Town Hall’s terrace offers a serenely lush backdrop for an intimate wedding. the view over the square and the rolling hills in the backdrop give to this wedding venue a serenity and calm atmosphere. Cepa and John as documentary producers, love travelling and discovering new places. For them it was important to stay away from the confusion of the city.

Some delicate bridal portraits were taken before the ceremony with the backdrop the of the Italian architecture of the little village’s square.

The couple walked together with their son to the ceremony. A pair of unique and sustainable made rings in Ireland, were exchanged at the end of the official rite. After the last signatures, Cepa and John were legally married.

Fiesole, offers a unique scenario on its own a true and authentic roman theatre. With these scenery amazing and rare pictures of the day were taken.

Last but not least, the couple decided to get some memories from Florence. judge yourself how beautiful are those pictures taken in palazzo Vecchio and in the courtyard of the Uffizi museum.
