Thanks guys,  it was a pleasure to work for and with you!

End of Summer wedding in Tuscany

Today I want to share with you an intimate wedding in Tuscany. Liz and Steve chose  Tuscany to celebrate their wedding with their family and their  closer friends. The small church was perfect for this small group and the colors  perfectly matched with the end of summer. The villa in Chianti, surrounded by olive trees and cypress, was the venue for their wedding dinner. The wedding theme was country chic and we decorated the church with mixed flowers pew ends and candles.
On the reception table we used a burlap runner and mixed jars and small wine carafes with spray roses, peonies, berries and herbs and a wine box centepiece. For the guests : doily menus to remember the delicious italian food and small olive oil bottles for taking  home a piece of Tuscany.
Grazie Mille Daniele for the lovely pictures!
