Destination wedding in Florence: Davis and Michael’s dream celebration of history and elegance
Some love stories deserve a fairytale setting, and Davis and Michael’s wedding was precisely that: an unforgettable journey in Tuscany, blending the charm of a destination wedding in Florence with the magic of the rolling hills. The couple, originally from New York, chose to celebrate their love in one of the most romantic destinations in the world, bringing one hundred guests along to experience an exclusive and timeless event.
The wedding weekend began with an elegant and refined welcome in the heart of Florence. For their rehearsal dinner, Davis and Michael selected a historic palace, immersed in the city’s timeless charm. This event was designed to welcome their guests with an authentic Italian atmosphere, where tradition and refinement blended seamlessly, creating an unforgettable moment for everyone present.
The following day, the guests moved to the picturesque Tuscan hills for the main event. The couple chose Villa Corsini a Mezzomonte, one of the most fascinating locations for a destination wedding in Florence, as the setting for their vows—a place rich in history and beauty, where Renaissance elegance harmonizes perfectly with the Tuscan landscape.



The day began with preparations at the splendid Villa Corsini a Mezzomonte, where Davis and Michael surrounded themselves with their bridal party, sharing emotions, laughter, and moments of pure joy with loved ones present from the early morning. The atmosphere was filled with excitement, as the villa provided enchanting spaces to capture every special detail of these unforgettable moments.
The bride’s gown was a true masterpiece of elegance and sophistication: a lace-embroidered design adorned with shimmering details that perfectly caught the light. Her bouquet, a stunning arrangement of fresh flowers in shades of pink, coral, and green, completed her dream-like bridal look.



The ceremony took place in the Italian garden of the Villa, a romantic and timeless setting. The floral arrangement was a true work of art—an embracing floral installation of varying heights, featuring colorful blooms and lush greenery that blended harmoniously with the surrounding landscape, offering a breathtaking view of the Tuscan hills. The couple’s pastor, who traveled from the United States, officiated the deeply emotional ceremony, touching the hearts of all the guests.





Following a cocktail hour filled with music, photos, and delicious Italian delicacies, the guests proceeded to the villa’s majestic frescoed hall. Here, two grand imperial tables welcomed the guests, leaving them in awe with their impeccable decor and magnificent setup. The tables were adorned with an abundance of vibrant and delicate flowers, arranged in elegant compositions that complemented the warm tones of the historic frescoes adorning the walls.


Among the most appreciated details were the embroidered napkins featuring Davis and Michael’s initials—a refined touch of personalization adding an extra level of exclusivity. Custom-designed placemats and golden accents enhanced the timeless elegance of the table setting, while each place was enriched with a small gift: a delightful box of artisanal chocolates from the renowned chocolatier Louise Shelley. Tall, slender candles in exquisite candelabras added a warm glow, creating an intimate and romantic atmosphere that heightened the beauty of the setting, offering guests a truly sensory experience.






The highlight of the evening was, without a doubt, the wedding cake cutting, a moment filled with emotion and magic. Davis and Michael chose a millefoglie cake, prepared live by skilled chefs—an homage to Italian tradition—adorned with fresh berries and a soft chantilly cream. The cake was presented in the villa’s Italian garden beneath the Galleria, illuminated by romantic, softly glowing lights that created an intimate and enchanting ambiance.


This unforgettable moment was further elevated by a spectacular fireworks display, illuminating the sky above Villa Corsini a Mezzomonte and leaving the guests in awe. Every burst of light and color reflected in the couple’s smiles and eyes, creating a breathtaking finale to a dream wedding. The photos captured the magic of this moment: the couple’s joy, their deep connection, and the dazzling spectacle of the fireworks, sealing a perfect day.
Working alongside Davis and Michael was a tremendous honor and an immense pleasure. Their positivity, enthusiasm, and trust made planning their destination wedding in Florence an extraordinary and unforgettable experience. Creating such a special connection with a couple is something rare and precious, and knowing that we helped bring their dream to life is an unparalleled satisfaction. Every detail, from our first meeting to the grand day, was thoughtfully curated to reflect their love and personalities. I am certain that this event will remain in the memories of all who attended, but especially in ours. Collaborating with couples like Davis and Michael is what makes our job so incredibly rewarding.
