Rachel and Reed began planning their dream wedding during a visit to Tuscany, where they stayed at Villa I Bibbiani, a stunning villa nestled on the hills about half an hour from Florence.
This villa is renowned for its expansive park, which is home to one of Italy’s most important botanical gardens. A blend of Italian and English gardens, the park is adorned with stone furnishings, statues, and water features, including a striking stone arch known as the “Arch of Man,” a charming carousel, and the “Teatro Verde,” a theatre immersed in greenery.
In Italy, traditional wedding ceremonies usually involve a brief ceremony at the venue, followed by drinks and tapas outdoors, and then a reception and dance. Rachel and Reed chose to follow this format.
