Destination Wedding Alert: A Stunning Venue And Lots Of Fresh White And Green Florals

“We always had in our minds that we wanted something different and wanted a big party and with Italy being our favourite place, we decided on Castello di Montignano in Umbria as our venue. It is a stunning venue in the middle of the Italian countryside where anything goes! We had an outdoor ceremony in the courtyard, we wanted it to feel fresh, classic and simple so all the flowers were whites and green. It was late April so there was plenty of wild flowers in bloom which added nice background colours. Bridesmaids were in a champagne crepe colour and the groomsmen were in tuxes, with Andy in a white tux. Very simple for the dinner flowers, individual white roses, long tables as we wanted it to feel very rustic. All signage was white in colour and simple!”

A Romantic, Vintage-Inspired Wedding Celebration, With Cream, Gold And Autumn Foliage

“Our wedding at Belleek Castle in October was a romantic, vintage-inspired celebration, filled with character and charm. The theme embraced the castle’s history, with details like antique swords, candlelit tables, and nautical elements, perfectly complemented by earthy tones of cream, gold, and warm autumn foliage. My bouquet featured pampas grass, roses, and dried flowers, which added a boho touch to the day. The weather gifted us a bright and crisp autumn light, creating a magical backdrop for our photos.”

A Whimsical Garden Party Wedding With Dusty Pink And Sage Green

“A June wedding, we had a bit of rain in the morning and chose to move the ceremony indoors. The sun came out around noon so everything was dry and sunlit by the time the drinks reception started. Of course, we also got the gorgeous daylight until 10:30pm. We kept to a sage green and dusty pink colour scheme and sprinkled some wildflower design throughout our signage, without doing too much so the florals weren’t overpowering. We told our suppliers that we were looking to achieve a whimsical, fairy-tale, ethereal wedding (and we think we did just that!)”
