KATIE & TIM
A Vibrant Floral Fairytale at Isola del Garda
AN Intimate American Wedding in the Heart of Lake garda
For Katie and Tim, an American couple dreaming of a one-of-a-kind Italian experience, Isola del Garda provided the ultimate stage. With a selected group of 50 guests, the goal was to create an event that felt deeply personal yet visually spectacular, a celebration where every detail whispered elegance and joy.
The Vision: A Setting that Evolves
The heart of the creative project was the iconic Venetian-Gothic Loggia. Katie envisioned a lush, statement floral installation for the ceremony that would remain the focal point throughout the evening. We designed a fluid transition of the space: while the grand floral arch stayed in its original place to frame the couple's sweetheart table, we carefully moved the aisle arrangements to further enrich their private dining corner. As the sun set, the atmosphere was transformed by soft, delicate lighting, with warm spotlights grazing the historic walls and flickering candles creating a romantic, intimate glow.
The Design: A Joyful Palette of Soft Azure and Coral
The floral selection moved away from traditional whites, embracing a sophisticated mix of romance and energy. We curated a rich tapestry of blooms in delicate shades of blush pink, sky blue, and pale violet, anchored by pops of vibrant coral. This palette created a striking dialogue with the historic stone of the villa and the deep blue of the lake, perfectly reflecting the couple’s exuberant spirit.
The Experience: From Heart-Shaped Favors to Midnight Dances
Every touch was designed to surprise and delight. Guests were gifted artisanal Limoncello in heart-shaped bottles, a nod to the flavors of Garda. After a refined dinner, the celebration moved to the island’s private dock (Darsena) for a dramatic cake cutting framed by shimmering cold-spark fountains. Following a stylish bridal outfit change, the night transitioned into high-energy dancing under the stars, marking the perfect conclusion to a truly unforgettable journey.
