Love Story

Their journey together is a tapestry of shared dreams and unforgettable adventures, culminating in a wedding set against the breathtaking beauty of Tuscany. For Dejana and Marco, taking the time to plan every detail of their wedding was a reflection of their deep care and love for one another.

About Your Wedding

With 100 of their closest friends and family in attendance, Dejana and Marco's celebration was the perfect balance of intimate and festive. The couple prioritized creating an atmosphere that truly reflected their relationship. "Our wedding was an absolute dream!" Dejana exclaims, her eyes still sparkling with the memory. "We wanted it to be a true reflection of our love—intimate, joyful, and filled with the people who mean the most to us."

Every element was carefully chosen to create a warm, personal atmosphere, from the florals to the music. “The day was a perfect blend of emotions, from the excitement of getting ready to the overwhelming happiness of saying 'I do.'”

Morning Details

Every piece of wedding stationery had been chosen with meticulous care, reflecting the couple's attention to detail and their desire for a cohesive aesthetic throughout the celebration.

"It took us 2 years to plan our wedding," Dejana explains. "We wanted to have enough time to make sure that the wedding planning would be fun and not too stressful." This thoughtful approach to planning allowed the couple to fully immerse themselves in the joy of their celebration, knowing every detail was in capable hands while still maintaining their personal touch in each element of the day.

Bride Getting Ready

Dejana prepared for her walk down the aisle surrounded by close family and friends at Villa Medicea di Lilliano. The historic villa provided a stunning backdrop for her getting-ready photos, filled with laughter and tender moments.

For her bridal look, Dejana chose the exquisite "Valière" gown designed by Enzoani, which she discovered at Zoro in Zurich. "I didn't have an exact vision of my dream dress beforehand. The idea was to visit several wedding dress stores to get an overview. But I quickly found what I was looking for at my first appointment at Zoro and canceled my other appointments." The elegant gown perfectly complemented the romantic Tuscan setting, making Dejana feel like she had stepped into a fairytale.

Groom Getting Ready

As Dejana shared precious moments with her loved ones, Marco was nearby at Villa La Torre, surrounded by his closest friends and family. The morning was a quiet symphony of anticipation, laughter, and heartfelt moments, each one adding to the excitement of the day ahead.

One of the day's most emotional moments came when Marco and Dejana arranged a private first look in the inner courtyard of Villa Medicea di Lilliano, hidden from arriving guests. "It was like time stood still," Marco remembers, his voice catching slightly. The photographer captured these raw, authentic emotions—creating images that perfectly preserved the magic of that first glimpse.

Villa Medicea di Lilliano provided the perfect canvas for their vision, with its Renaissance architecture and panoramic views. The couple chose a refined color palette of pastel tones complemented by lush greenery and elegant gold accents. "Every detail, from the flowers to the music, was carefully chosen to create an atmosphere that felt warm and personal," Dejana explains.

The seamless flow of the evening's events was a testament to their exceptional team of wedding professionals working diligently behind the scenes.

We had 100% trust in all the vendors and could be relaxed on our wedding day."
