K & S . WEDDING
Rome, Italy
“Thank you so much for the best day ever. I’m so emotional thinking it’s over - I want to redo it all over again!”
Imagine being surrounded by wedding dreams every day. That was the reality for this bride, who owns her own stunning bridal boutique in Ireland. When it came to her own celebration, she knew what she wanted – a dramatic Italian affair with monochromatic details throughout.
K & S were captivated by the elegance of Rome, and chose the breathtaking Villa Miani as their venue for the wedding day - with that iconic view of Rome.
Wedding guests were welcomed to Palazzo Dama the night before the wedding - a perfect courtyard venue in the city centre. They enjoyed Mexican fusion food and cocktails poolside complete with custom newspapers gifted by the couple.
The wedding morning started at the Rhino Hotel, famed for its incredibly chic and photogenic interiors. This luxurious haven provided the perfect backdrop for K and her bridesmaids to get glammed up for the big day. With K herself owning a boutique, choosing the perfect dress was never going to be a challenge - she opted for a stunning custom Chosen by Khya gown.
Then on to the breathtaking location for their vows – the iconic Villa Miani. This venue, a dream come true for many wedding planners, is no stranger to hosting fairytale weddings. With its sprawling grounds and historic charm, Villa Miani embodies classic Italian elegance, making it the perfect canvas for K & S.
White, heavily textured, cloud-like floral arrangements were thoughtfully tailored to complement the venue's aesthetic.
After the ceremony, the mood shifted to pure Italian joie de vivre. Think refreshing Aperitivo under the sun, overflowing with spritzes and the most delicious local Roman cuisine. Live music filled the air, adding a touch of lively energy to the celebrations. As an Italian wedding planner, curating such authentic moments throughout our clients’ weddings is what we love to do.
K & S wanted a dramatic dining space that focused on a monochromatic palette with lots of texture. We delivered on the drama with a symmetrical fabric installation that also saw large curtains hung to accentuate the beautiful archways. As the light changed throughout the day and the wind picked up the fabric danced in the Italian sunlight and perfectly framed the dining space.
We kept the colours throughout the design simple, to match the Villa’s tones. Uniquely shaped centrepieces and textured florals adorned the tables, and embroidered bows added a personalised touch. Stationery was chic and minimal, black candles and chairs were incorporated to add depth and to create cohesion throughout.
As previously mentioned, the Bride wore a stunning Chosen by Khya gown that was accessorised with a custom veil, complete with tulle bows. She later changed into an iconic Katherine Tash gown that was perfect for partying in style, as the Irish always do!
After being treated to a gorgeous golden hour, of course, the guests partied well in to the night!
