Villa cora - florence

This wedding in Florence, Italy, was nothing short of iconic. The couple chose the stunning Basilica of Santa Maria Novella for their ceremony—one of the most exclusive locations in the heart of Renaissance Florence. Few are privileged to marry here, and the grandeur of its frescoes by masters like Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci set the perfect stage for their vows.

The bride prepped at the luxurious Villa Cora, a historic 19th-century villa overlooking Florence, donning a Monique Lhuillier gown with her closest loved ones. Meanwhile, the groom celebrated with his groomsmen, awaiting the unforgettable moment when she walked down the aisle.

The ceremony was elevated by a string quartet playing Vivaldi, while Florence itself provided sunlit, picture-perfect backdrops. Guests enjoyed a lavish reception in Villa Cora's Hall of Mirrors, with its opulent frescoes and timeless elegance. The night ended with music from Lena Prima, bringing a touch of New Orleans to this Italian masterpiece.
