TIMELESS WEDDING AT VILLA GRABAU

Beautiful celebration in Lucca's Best-Kept Secret
For those who truly understand the allure of Lucca, a wedding at Villa Grabau is nothing short of a dream realized.
Villa Grabau, the epitome of Lucca’s lush countryside, stands as one of the finest wedding venues in Tuscany - and it’s easy to see why more and more couples are choosing it. This past September, a couple from Texas, with strong British roots, chose Villa Grabau as the backdrop for their celebration. Despite now calling LA home, the bride's ties to Lucca were undeniable, and she knew there was no better place to say "I do."
Set among acres of manicured lawns, the villa is a hidden gem, tucked away from the decaying grandeur of neighboring estates. Villa Grabau shines as a beacon of timeless elegance, with fountains and tranquil gardens that transport you straight into Eden. Though smaller than some of the grander villas, its beauty and intimacy make it a standout.
The wedding day reflected the couple’s deep affection for their families. The groom’s father stood as best man, and the bride was surrounded by her mother and sister as she prepared for her big day.
Though the symbolic ceremony was held indoors to avoid rain—thankfully, the skies cleared for cocktails—the evening flowed seamlessly, thanks to the exceptional coordination by wedding planners Bianco Rosa Weddings. Guests mingled in the beautiful garden, sipping Italian wines and enjoying canapés while I captured intimate moments of the bride and groom. The villa’s stunning grounds offered a wealth of incredible backdrops for their portraits, making every shot feel effortless.
The reception took place in the conservatory, under a towering ficus tree, creating an unforgettable atmosphere for speeches and the grand cake reveal. Take a look at the photos from this unforgettable celebration!



















































































A Wedding Prelude Like No Other
A Welcome Dinner at Palazzo Pfanner
An Exclusive and Refined Choice for a Sophisticated Celebration in Lucca
When it comes to setting the tone for a wedding weekend, few places can rival the timeless elegance of Palazzo Pfanner. Anna and James chose to welcome their guests in this historic gem nestled in the heart of Lucca—a decision that speaks volumes about their impeccable taste and appreciation for exclusivity.
Palazzo Pfanner is not just a venue; it is an experience. With its grand colonnades, baroque architecture, and one of the most enchanting gardens in Tuscany, it provided an extraordinary setting for an intimate yet opulent welcome reception. The credit for this inspired choice goes to the brilliant wedding planners Sandra and Sara of Bianco Rosa Weddings, who understood exactly how to elevate the couple’s vision into a refined reality.
As guests arrived, they were greeted with a curated aperitivo in the lush gardens, a moment of relaxed sophistication before the grand festivities to come. Champagne flowed, conversations sparked, and the anticipation for the wedding day heightened in an atmosphere of effortless luxury.
The dinner unfolded under the open sky, with guests dining directly on the manicured lawn, surrounded by the timeless beauty of Palazzo Pfanner. With the deep blue Tuscan evening as their backdrop, heartfelt toasts filled the air—some met with laughter, others with emotion-filled tears. Every detail of the evening reflected the couple’s desire for a wedding experience that was both intimate and extraordinary.
With the welcome dinner setting the perfect precedent, the stage was set for an unforgettable wedding at Villa Grabau the following day. An affair brimming with elegance, emotion, and the kind of beauty only found in Tuscany.
