Daria and Ivan had long dreamed of a grand and beautiful wedding. Daria is from Kazakhstan, Ivan is from Russia, and they now live in Germany. They have been officially married for several years, yet bringing all their family and closest friends together for a celebration proved difficult. The pandemic changed everything and the event had to be postponed. When life finally returned to its familiar rhythm, the couple came to us, and together we began a journey that grew into a year and a half of preparation for their perfect day.

The location was chosen with intention. Villa Aura sits on the picturesque shore of Lake Como. Built at the end of the eighteenth century, it served for many years as a family estate, passed down from generation to generation. The care with which its owners preserved the architecture, the grounds, and the traditions can be felt in every corner.

This is why Daria and Ivan’s choice became symbolic. They decided to celebrate their day in a place filled with a living sense of family history and cherished values. It was the perfect setting to say “yes” to each other once again, this time surrounded by the people dearest to their hearts.

Daria’s morning began with a distinctive touch. She chose a pin-up look inspired by the golden era of femininity in the 1940s and 1950s. High heels, a graceful corset, curlers, and a playful mood created a sense of effortless retro chic. The shots taken on the small balcony overlooking Lake Como became the embodiment of perfection, where nature, style, and emotion formed a single story.

After the shoot, Daria changed into her wedding dress, and from that moment the day turned truly magical.

The groom spent his morning getting ready with his stepfather, a touching and genuinely heartfelt moment of support that often stays behind the scenes but carries immense meaning.

We arranged the first look on the grounds of the villa. Villa Aura seems made for moments like this. Its secluded garden corners, stone staircases, and paths leading toward the lake create the feeling of a private park. It was here that Ivan saw Daria in her wedding look for the first time.

His reaction was sincere: surprise, admiration, and emotions that cannot be hidden. For a brief moment, the world seemed to pause, leaving just the two of them in the villa’s green oasis.

While Daria waited for the ceremony in her room, Ivan welcomed the guests. We arranged a small welcome area by the garden with refreshing drinks, light appetizers, and warm conversations. Guests were invited to leave audio messages for the couple and solve a crossword about their story, a heartfelt and interactive way to pass the time before the celebration began.

The ceremony arch was designed in soft white and green tones, a light floral composition that blended gently with the natural beauty of the villa.

The groom was the first to walk out. Then, to the song Young and Beautiful, Daria appeared, accompanied by her father, while her niece carefully carried the veil. The ceremony was filled with emotion. The host shared the story of how they met, and the couple exchanged touching vows.

And then came a surprise Ivan truly did not expect. A friend of the couple, dressed in a Cupid costume, stepped forward with the ring box, showering the guests and newlyweds with petals. It sparked laughter and delight and instantly became one of the most memorable and vibrant moments of the entire day.

After the ceremony, the family photo session began—warm, sincere, and full of affectionate embraces. The guests were then welcomed to a prosecco tower overlooking the lake. The clinking of glasses and joyful chatter created a festive atmosphere that felt like the perfect beginning to the evening.

While guests enjoyed the aperitivo, Daria and Ivan slipped away for a moment of their own. They set off on a romantic boat ride, a quiet and intimate pause in an otherwise eventful day.

When the newlyweds returned, dinner began. The tables were lit with candles that cast a soft glow and created a warm, intimate atmosphere. Toasts followed one after another—heartfelt, sincere, sometimes emotional, but always spoken from the heart.

A group of Italian musicians added a special charm to the evening. They moved between the guests, performing iconic songs such as “Volare,” “Bella Ciao,” and “Mambo Italiano.” The guests sang along, clapped to the rhythm, and some couldn’t resist getting up to dance.

After dinner, Daria and Ivan opened the evening festivities with their first dance, and the dance floor quickly filled with guests.

Daria tossed her bouquet, and Ivan continued the fun with a unique tradition. Instead of a garter, he tossed a “bouquet of socks.” The guest who caught the pair matching his own would become someone’s future lucky groom!

What are the most romantic professions you can think of? We believe that anything connected to aviation belongs on that list. After all, the love between a pilot and a flight attendant is a romance written between the sky and the clouds. Every flight is a new chapter. Sometimes turbulent, sometimes soft and cloudless, yet always real. He sets the course and she creates the atmosphere. He is responsible for altitude, she is responsible for lightness. Together they turn an ordinary journey into a story you cannot look away from.

This is the story of Yulia and Jean Marie. A girl from Latvia chose the profession of a flight attendant. A young man from France decided to become a pilot. And where did fate bring them together? Naturally in the sky. For them the clouds are not just scenery but their daily workspace. Distances are not an obstacle but a routine. This is what makes their love story even more beautiful.

They work in the same field, aviation. Airlines, flights, connections, layovers, business trips… and somewhere between all of that their feelings began to grow.

Yulia is bright and warm, someone who notices beauty in everything around her. Jean Marie is confident and calm, the kind of man whose presence makes you feel safe. He trusts Yulia completely and she brings light and colour into his life.

They travel a lot, both for work and for the joy of discovering new places. Dozens of countries, hundreds of airports, thousands of kilometres are already behind them. Yet for the most important day they chose a place unlike any other: Italy. More precisely, Lake Como. The beauty of nature, the energy of the lake and the mountains all echo Yulia’s character and harmonise with Jean Marie’s calmness. Lake Como became their conscious choice, not accidental and not tourist driven, but heartfelt.

The couple dreamed of a day without guests, without fuss, without a schedule measured by the minute. Just the two of them, their feelings and the atmosphere of a celebration that felt truly their own.

That day Yulia had another reason to be happy: it was her birthday. And the morning began exactly as a woman’s morning should begin, with a light and joyful mood and a glass of chilled champagne. Together we created the feeling of a beautiful morning in which every detail was thoughtful and every touch was both gentle and festive.

Sandra and Andrej share many things, but above all — a mutual desire to move, explore, and live in the rhythm of the heart. Fitness, bike rides, summer swims, motorcycles, traveling — they’re equally in love with being active and seeking new adventures.

That’s why choosing a wedding just for the two of them felt completely natural. No grand banquet, no noise — just the two of them and a place that once found its way into their memories and has now become a symbol of a new beginning. The official registration with their families was planned back home in Latvia, while their special, intimate “I do” — just the two of them — they saved for Lake Como.

The day began with a perfect morning — no rush, no worries, no need to hurry anywhere. Just time to enjoy the views and gently prepare for the ceremony. Villa Harmonia feels as if it was created especially for intimate, heartfelt weddings. From the terrace of the suite, you see the lake and the mountains — a view you could admire endlessly.

It felt as though the whole world held its breath when Sandra stepped out to meet Andrej. That moment when the groom sees his bride in her dress for the first time is always deeply emotional and incredibly personal. Then came the vows, accompanied by the soft sound of a violin. For this moment, they chose Andrea Bocelli’s “Vivo per lei.” And finally, the cherished “Yes” was spoken — and it was time to pop the prosecco. Cin cin!

These words say everything about them. Because when love and true professionalism come together with a dream, it becomes the kind of celebration people call a dream wedding.

When two people from the world of IT come together not just to build careers, but to create a life side by side, it becomes a story of understanding and a longing for something genuine and heartfelt. Elizaveta and Gennady speak the same language — the analytical one — yet they experience the world in completely different ways: his practical, measured approach blends seamlessly with her romantic, intuitive one. And as Elizaveta admits, it is this very balance that makes their partnership so strong. They share a love for culinary discoveries, are passionate seekers of new desserts, and, of course, devoted travelers. So it comes as no surprise that the path to their dream wedding led them to one of the most beautiful — and delicious — countries in the world: Italy.

At first, the couple planned to hold an “Italian-style” wedding near Moscow and even began searching for the perfect villa. But one day Elizaveta came across an article about weddings in Italy — and everything changed. “Why recreate the Italian atmosphere when we can simply be in Italy?” they thought. And that decision became a turning point. Lake Como, lush greenery, the mountains reflected in the water, authentic Italian cuisine — everything came together to form the perfect vision of their day.

“From our very first call with Marina, Sveta, and Katya, we instantly clicked! Incredibly smooth communication and an absolutely professional team — that’s how I would describe our planners. Throughout the entire preparation process, we were in constant contact. They kept detailed checklists and budgeting documents, created a shared space with everything we needed, and guided us through every step. They supported and advised us while preparing the documents for our legal ceremony and assisted with visa arrangements for us and our guests.”

Elizaveta chose an old money concept — a style of understated elegance where every detail speaks of refined taste and quiet confidence. The couple dreamed of being surrounded by water and greenery on their special day, and Villa Regina Teodolinda became the perfect choice. Intimate and charming, with its own private pier, the villa was named after a queen who loved to spend time there. What could be a better embodiment of “quiet luxury”?

Elizaveta and Gennady decided that their passports should also reflect the place where they were getting married — Lake Como. And just like that, one festive day turned into a true Italian holiday.

Day 1

The official ceremony took place at the Italian town hall. The couple chose to experience this moment entirely on their own, so they met the rest of the guests already as husband and wife. They celebrated this milestone with a boat ride across the lake and an evening visit to a historic bar in Como.

Day 2

The day when the magic happened!

The bride’s morning unfolded gently — breakfast, meeting with the stylist, and a soft, intimate bridal boudoir session. The ceremony was planned for the afternoon. Guests were welcomed with refreshing drinks, live music, and entertainment. Everyone mingled cheerfully, filled out the guest book for the couple, or recorded audio messages for them as keepsakes.

And then, finally, the melody of Young and Beautiful by Lana Del Rey begins to play, and the guests see the bride for the first time. Elizaveta descends toward the ceremony area, feeling a touch of nervousness. But Gennady is already waiting for her there, dressed in an elegant white tuxedo — her husband, her steady support — and suddenly there is no reason to worry at all.

Everything flies by in a single breath. A heartfelt ceremony with one of the most breathtaking views imaginable. Then a light aperitivo and warm congratulations before the newlyweds depart for a romantic boat ride, just the two of them. Meanwhile, the guests continue to enjoy themselves. They will welcome the bride and groom again at dinner — and after that, everyone will dance the night away under the stars.

“During the wedding dinner, as we looked around at the décor with the view of Lake Como and the surrounding mountains, seeing each other’s happy faces and those of our guests, we realized just how right we were to trust our wonderful planners. They poured so much effort and love into our celebration — we are endlessly grateful to them for that 🤍 It was the happiest week of our lives!” — shares the bride, Elizaveta.

And in these words lies everything one needs to know about their story. Because when a dream is brought to life with love and true professionalism, it becomes exactly what people call a dream wedding.
