Italian Villa Wedding Inspiration

An ancient villa, a secret garden and eternal love.

From the nostalgia of past years and the sadness of seeing postponed the weddings of a whole season. This team of Italian suppliers came up with the grotesque but not impossible idea that an elopement could be possible.

This stiling shoot was inspired by the Charles Dickens novels and his magic realism. Just fantasy could be the antidote to overcome an unreal moment like the one that we have been through and stopped the whole world for already almost a year and a half.

We wanted to highlight the frescoed walls and ceilings of the Villa and we used English roses, pampas grass and wildflowers freshly picked from the Umbrian countryside to create a baroque contrast effect and breakthrough with the lineal architecture of the building.

“Humanity reaches as far as love reaches. It has not frontiers except those we give it.”

Villa Pianciani from XVIII century has a garden with an unusual amphitheatre that has been called “the secret garden” by the architect from 1830. Why secret garden? Did he know more than we all know nowadays?

No one ever wondered before about the origins of this name, but this is how I see the tale.

The villa jealously guards the love story of these two souls that punctually at the end of each day, gather at sunset and secretly renovate their love at the garden of the villa.

They drink and celebrate their love by candle lights and dance under crystal magic chandeliers until the sun rises up.

Love has no color, no age and their love becomes timeless.

Some stories become eternal, will yours… become one of them?
