Margo and Yaroslav: The Wedding and Honeymoon of Dreams

We have all seen at least one of the many romantic movies where the main characters meet, fall in love at first sight, talk all night long, and from that moment on, never part. “This doesn’t happen in real life!” you might say. And you’d be wrong. It does happen! And the story of Margarita and Yaroslav proves it.

Their love story could have started back in their student years, as they both studied at the same faculty in the same university, but they never met during all their years of study. However, you can’t escape destiny! After graduation, they accidentally met online, and the rest was like a movie! They met in a pub and talked until morning.

Margo and Yaroslav decided to get married in Russia, but hold a symbolic ceremony for just the two of them in Italy, so that the very next day they could set off on their honeymoon across Europe.

The groom and bride’s morning began in a room with a panoramic view of Lake Como at the Royal Victoria Hotel in Varenna. The couple wanted to spend this morning together, without rushing, enjoying every moment of this special day. Margarita carefully thought out her look not only for the ceremony but also for a pajama photo session. The photos turned out to be very tender and incredibly stylish!

The weather in Como this April was quite capricious, it was pretty cold and it rained often. We, along with the couple, were very worried about the weather, but fortunately, on the wedding day, the lake gods smiled upon us and the bad weather was called off.

The newlyweds decided to make their symbolic ceremony not just a regular one, but to include an element of play. We prepared for them a special romantic quest, which was designed to show just how well they really know each other. And the couple, of course, passed the task brilliantly, as expected! While Margo and Yaroslav made their way to the ceremony venue, they answered questions from our quest, laughed, kissed, and of course, took many photos.

For their symbolic wedding, they chose one of the most beautiful villas on Como – Villa Monastero. Here, on the open veranda with a view of the most beautiful of Italian lakes, they exchanged wedding vows, rings, and once again said “Yes!” to each other. The place and time were chosen intentionally – Yaroslav proposed to Margo on a yacht at sunset, so the water and the time of day hold special significance for the couple.

After the ceremony and photo session, the newlyweds went to a cozy bar to celebrate their love with some Italian sparkling prosecco. And next, they enjoyed a luxurious one-hour boat ride on Como with prosecco and light snacks.

In the evening, the boat brought the beautiful couple straight to the hotel, where they changed and then went to a restaurant for a wedding dinner for two. The next day, they took their luggage and headed to Venice, which Margo adores. Their next stops on their honeymoon journey were Florence, Rome, and Paris. This is how their intimate Italian wedding smoothly transitioned into the honeymoon of their dreams.

Thank you so much, without you, none of this would have happened! All the fears were dissipated and we just enjoyed the process 🥰

We fulfilled the dream of a wedding in Italy! Marina and Svetlana had a clear wedding ceremony preparation plan and followed it according to schedule, all our wishes were taken into account and even more, they were always in touch with us. Even in the conditions of deteriorating weather, everything was perfectly planned, and we only have unforgettable emotions without the stress. They not only helped us with the wedding but also offered guided tours and gave valuable recommendations about Italy. Thank you!
