What could a wedding be like for a couple that travels a lot? Is there a way to surprise people who have visited the most diverse countries in both the East and the West? Both Karina and Sergey appreciate restraint and elegance, and they like light shades in the interior, clothing, and the surrounding world. Big and noisy weddings are not their style.

The choice was obvious. Lake Como! This place is the embodiment of elegance and sophistication. A rich history, amazing cuisine, sparkling prosecco, and of course, nature that makes hearts stop…

I knew I wanted a wedding for two on Lake Como. Period. No guests, no fuss, no years of preparation. Just us, the beauty around, and a small support team. Based on these requests, I found @wowitaly_events.

Karina

On September 27, 2023, Karina and Sergey spent the day in one of the most beautiful places on Earth. The bride and groom greeted the morning of their wedding at Villa Armonia. This elegant 19th-century family villa is located near the town of Lecco.

Without hustle or rush, the bride began to prepare for the upcoming event, trusting herself to the caring hands of stylist Anastasia. After all the preparations, it was time for the meeting on the villa’s terrace with Sergey, who couldn’t take his eyes off his beautiful bride. Karina sparkled like a diamond in its setting, in her exquisite dress, which highlighted her slender figure.

The symbolic ceremony, with the exchange of rings and vows, took place right there, on the terrace, overlooking Lake Como, seemingly meant only for the two of them.

 

The newlyweds shone with happiness. And as a complement to this radiance – Karina’s sparkling dress and the sparkling prosecco in their glasses.

 

After the ceremony, Karina and Sergey went to Villa Monastero. Located on the picturesque shores of Lake Como, this ancient villa, which dates back 9 centuries, is the epitome of romance and elegance. Its feature is the lush botanical garden and exquisite architecture. The wedding photoshoot here allows capturing love and happiness in a truly beautiful and special place.

 

Afterward, Karina and Sergey went on a photoshoot by boat on Lake Como. Gliding over the azure waters, the newlyweds admired the surrounding views and simply enjoyed each other and the day. The gentle splash of the waves and the warm embrace of the sun created that feeling of unity with nature – in calmness and absolute happiness.

 

The day wouldn’t have been so special without little adventures. As Karina herself describes, her wedding dress survived several flights and car trips. In one plane, a foul-smelling liquid was spilled on the shelf where the dress was, in another, the cover and even part of the hem got torn. A quiet wedding nearby suddenly turned into a techno music disco. But in the end, nothing could affect how this day went for Karina and Sergey. In harmony, happiness, calmness, and exactly as they wanted.

The emotions of the bride herself speak louder than anything else. And somehow, it’s better not to say it:

Thank you so much for organizing such a wonderful day, we are absolutely thrilled❤️ The team is the best! Just wow 😯 Amazing photos. I can’t stop looking at them) I keep rewatching them 🥰
