Anastasia and Nikita: Elegance and Modern Classicism on Lake Como

The number 777 is often associated with luck, spirituality, and higher powers. In numerology, this number is considered very favorable, symbolizing intuition and inner growth.

For Anastasia and Nikita, the number seven also gained special meaning. Their meeting happened on an autumn evening in Latvia 7 years ago – with a random swipe on Tinder (yes, meeting your soulmate on the internet is absolutely possible!). They liked each other, and their story as a couple began, full of love, fun, and shared discoveries.

On February 7, 2023, another event took place that was not planned specifically for that day. In the evening, Anastasia and Nikita were talking about various topics, and the conversation turned to unexpected and unplanned events in their lives. Nikita left the room and soon returned… with a ring, saying that such an event had never happened to him before, but he would like his first story to be just like this. Of course, Anastasia said “YES!” to the proposal.

The couple began preparing for the wedding 5 months in advance, reaching out to the team at WowItaly for help with the organization. The ceremony date of September 7, 2023, was chosen not by accident – this number became personal and unique for Anastasia and Nikita, bringing luck based on their own experience of love and relationships.

The morning of their wedding day, Anastasia and Nikita found themselves in one of the most wonderful places on Earth – on Lake Como. The villa chosen by the couple, Villa Mojana, is located in the southeastern part of the lake, near Bellagio, a haven for romantics immortalized by Byron and Liszt. The elegant villa from the beginning of the century combines classical Italian architecture with modern interior design using natural materials. The venue was perfect for the overall wedding style – minimalism, elegance, and modern classicism.

The wedding style of Anastasia and Nikita was inspired by the refined atmosphere of Lake Como, with its timeless nature and architecture that remain immune to fleeting trends.

The purity of lines and muted palette, minimalism, and elegance were maintained in every detail – from the wedding outfits to the flower composition of the bride’s bouquet. The incredible beauty of Lake Como became the backdrop where the diamonds of two hearts shone.

Photographer Kseniya Palchik managed to capture the atmosphere and highlight the minimalist and at the same time sophisticated style. Her photo series from the wedding of Anastasia and Nikita was selected by the editorial team of the MyWed wedding photographer community and was featured in the Best of the Week section. The international wedding portal Wed Vibe Media chose the story of Anastasia and Nikita’s meeting and wedding for publication in Real Weddings.

The official wedding ceremony, according to the laws of the Republic of Italy, took place for Anastasia and Nikita in Bellagio, located near Villa Mojana. The newlyweds then went for a boat ride on Lake Como, and the wedding dinner was held at the Michelin-starred Mistral restaurant.

Anastasia and Nikita wanted to spend this day alone, enjoying the enchanting atmosphere of Como and sharing these unique moments of happiness with each other. The morning at the villa, the incredibly emotional and touching ceremony at the Bellagio town hall, the boat ride gliding over the turquoise waters of Como, the breathtaking beauty of the surrounding landscape with majestic mountains and charming villages on the shore… And together – amazing memories and emotions that will forever stay with Anastasia and Nikita. Just like the date of September 7 (may the lucky sevens continue to bring good fortune!), which will always be part of their love story.

Oh, how I want to go back to this day, it all passed by like a dream. We had such a great team, Ksyusha and Volodya worked so harmoniously, and it felt like they were our guests. We even miss them a bit 😂 Marina, thank you once again for the organization and for all your advice and help 🙏🏻 I’m thankful that I stumbled upon your profile on Instagram. Working with you was the second best decision of my life, after deciding to marry Nikita, of course 😁 It was something on a cosmic emotional level ❤️❤️❤️
