Aside from how utterly stunning today’s featured wedding is, one thing really struck me when I read about Corine & Neil’s wedding celebrations: the time of day they made their vows. This wedding was sent in by luxury wedding planner Elegante By Michelle J, who says “We always recommend later ceremony times at destination weddings in hot countries – no one wants to say ‘I do’ under the burning mid-afternoon sun!” I would love to see later ceremonies become a summer wedding trend here in the UK as well!

Imagine an Italian village, preserved from centuries past and reimagined as a luxury hotel with events spaces and guest accommodation. This is where today’s gorgeous pair Charlie and Bobby said their I dos, surrounded by loved ones for a full weekend celebration of love!

Their weekend wedding in Italy was planned and brought to life by lovely Elegante by Michelle J. Michelle specialises in Italian weddings for UK couples, and is one of the UK’s top destination wedding planners. Together with the happy couple, she designed a wedding with a Chianti theme, delicious florals styled around a soft peach colour palette, and oodles of green foliage.
