Bianca & Charles

Bianca & Charles are a young couple from Seattle who tied the knot in Tuscany at Castello di Bibbione, a Medieval hamlet built around a castle that dates back to the year 1.000 AD. 

For Bianca and Charles, it was essential to find a large venue with a lot of space and rooms for the guests as their families came from all corners of the world, mainly Canada, China, the United States, and Scandinavia. All guests were accommodated in the hamlet’s farmhouses and in the surrounding hotels. We organized various activities for the group: wine tasting in the ancient cellars of a nearby Renaissance villa, art tours in the nearby hilltop towns and Florence, and even a Spa Day for the bridesmaids. All guests gathered prior to the wedding day at the castle for a Pizza night and a BBQ dinner, with music and lot of laughs.

The warm and sunny wedding day displayed perfect late September weather. The ceremony itself was held inside the walled garden of the castle’s olive grove, a very natural and serene space. For the ceremony decoration we opted for a non-intrusive, very natural semi-circular low floral arrangement, instead of a traditional arch of flowers, that blended perfectly with the garden.  

Guests promenaded to the front lawn of the castle for cocktail hour, enjoying, panoramic views of a picture-perfect Tuscan countryside at sunset. The dinner ambiance was ethereal, inside the castle’s internal courtyard: long candle-lit tables with organic and playful flowers in delicate hues were the perfect accents to the majestic feel of the massive stone courtyard. It was exactly Bianca’s vision: romantic and elegant, fresh and chic.
