When the heart whispers the right direction, it never truly leads you astray. That’s exactly what happened with Sandra and Andrej. Last year, they were simply vacationing in Italy — with no plans, no expectations. Just enjoying their favorite pasta and Aperol. But Lake Como, framed by mountains and filled with its unforgettable atmosphere, stayed with them long after the trip.
And then — they discovered our Instagram, the photos, the inspiration…
“It’s all so beautiful. You don’t get views like this everywhere, especially back home in Latvia,” they recall.
And that’s how Italy quietly and gently became a part of their story.
A wedding for two, where love and freedom come first
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.
A terrace ceremony with a view you’ll never forget
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!
Lake Como — the perfect backdrop for love
A classic touch, without which it’s impossible to fully experience the beauty of Lake Como, is a ride on a beautiful boat. Sandra and Andrej sat close to each other, sharing quiet hugs and taking in the familiar views. It was a moment of complete peace and happiness — the kind when you realize your dream has come true, and life feels truly perfect in these very minutes.
The photoshoot at Villa Monastero became the final, cinematic frame of their wedding day. Their photos turned out warm and full of life — like scenes from a love story film. Every curve of the terrace, every palm shadow, every stepped path leading to the water seemed to highlight their story — the story of a couple who chose themselves and their dream.
A wedding with heart
This day wasn’t about scale — it was about meaning. About the idea that sometimes a perfect wedding requires only two people who share each other’s dreams and are willing to bring them to life. And for Sandra and Andrej, everything came together beautifully:
“Thank you once again to your entire team for all the work you’ve done! 😍🤗
We are absolutely thrilled — everything was so beautiful, stylish, and heartfelt! It means so much to us that everything came together so quickly and so professionally! 🥰😁”
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.
