Today we have a breathtaking wedding sent to us by Nadine from Weddings in Tuscany. Nadine helped to plan Lisa and John’s destination Tuscany wedding and was happy to share the details with us!
Nadine: “When we first started communicating with the gorgeous laid-back couple, Lisa and John, we knew instantly that their wedding was going to be incredibly fun and we were so excited to get started on the planning. Lisa wanted a relaxed, intimate, natural and fun feel to her wedding with all inspiration to come from the natural beauty of the Tuscan landscape. They chose a rustic stone farmhouse in the Chianti as their location for their wedding and accommodations for themselves and their guests. The Chianti area has so much natural beauty, only a little adornment was needed. All the flowers were native to the area and all the food was market fresh, local and organic and the wine was made at the farmhouse using the grapes of the surrounding vineyard.”

Lisa and John had a civil ceremony which took place in the town hall of the hilltop town of Carmignano. They also had a symbolic ceremony among the olive groves of the farmhouse where the reception was held.

Nadine: “Lisa and her bridesmaids carried bright sunflowers in full bloom, chocolate gerberas with a mix of native foliage, stems wrapped with a chestnut silk ribbon, and the ceremony florals continued the profusion of colorful sunflowers, mixed with coral roses and native foliage in cone shaped baskets. The table centerpieces were simple and elegant vases filled with sunflowers, coral roses and lavender.”

Lisa and John were even able to sneak over to Florence for a quick photo session at Piazalle Michelangelo! … They couldn’t pass up the opportunity to get these gorgeous shots!

Priscilla and Thread Social – A Perfect Pair!
Being a Boston bride, I have a special place in my heart for Priscilla of Boston. While I did not walk down the isle in one of their gowns (my runner up was from the Vineyard collection, however), I had a fantastic experience in their Newbury Street flagship store. The gowns are gorgeous and well made, and come in styles to suit almost any bride and any budget. And if that weren’t enough, the service was excellent.
So you can imagine how thrilled I was to hear that Priscilla has teamed up with Thread Social to create a collection of party dresses that would look fabulous at any wedding (or other event, for that matter). You may already know the pieces turned out by Beth Blake and Melissa Akey – their fashion-forward bridal line Thread consistently turns out fresh and fun dresses for modern brides and their attendants. And of course, it’s hard to miss the glamorous and youthful looks Thread Social is so famous for.
