I’m seriously swooning over this gorgeous shoot from photographer Mike Larson and stylist Vanessa at Alchemy Fine Events.
The sage green vineyards of rural Italy, filled with dappled golden sunlight are literally the perfect place for a romantic shoot like this. We’re in love with the slinky gowns by BHLDN, the relaxed hair styles, our Groom’s preppy Polo look, the blooms, the table set up, the horse…the whole thing is just simply beautiful.
I’m booking a one way flight to Italy as we speak, who’s with me?
Vanessa from Alchemy Events: With inspirations of an Italian love story in mind, we created the vision of Terra e Mare, or Land and Sea for the Mike Larson Tuscany workshop. The story is this…a seaside beach beauty in love with a dapper polo player, wed amidst the vineyards in Italy, bringing together the land and sea for a juxtaposition of styles.
Set against the backdrop of the rolling vineyards of Chianti in a Romanesque villa, Tenuta di San Giusto was the location for this magical shoot designed with modern, classical, seaside and rustic elements.
The invitation to this intimate affair featured modern typography on a textured cardstock that was carefully nestled inside of a dove gray silk invitation box with a seashell adornment on top.
To combine the romantic and modern inspirations onto the tablescape leaves and greenery were painted an opaque white and mixed into arrangements of white roses, lilies and lisianthus alongside sea shells and neo-baroque candelabras.
