Temperatures are soaring here in the UK today, just like at this Capri wedding. Even though it's hot at their destination wedding, bride Jessica is still a picture of elegance in her tulle and lace Flora Bridal gown. (Which is more than can be said for me right now!) There isn't a Bardot neckline or wavy hair out of place. She's pure bridal goals and completes her look beautifully with a stunning peach, white and green bridal bouquet. Prepare to get lost in the scenery and this couples dreamy coastal wedding, with fabulous wedding reception to boot. Just wait until you see the hanging greenery and votives.

Capri Wedding

The Mediterranean is a complex and difficult area to describe, due to the many races and ethnic groups that have passed through it, who have lived there and who have written pieces of history there. The Mediterranean is a place of contrasts. First of all that between the sea and the mountains, which generate the charm, the curiosity and the irresistible desire to cross it. Capri contains myth, beauty, suggestion and the discovery that unites those who have the good fortune to travel in the area at least once in their lives. Getting married in Capri is all about sharing a romantic dream with the most important people in one's life

Flora Bridal

Jessica's Flora Bridal wedding dress from the INTIMATE collection is ticking all the bridal style boxes for me today. With its whimsical soft lines, embellished lace and embroidery detail, plus long sleeves and elegant but oh so sexy wide boat neck leaving the shoulders beautifully exposed. She looks like a bohemian beauty taking in the Capri coastal views. Complementing her look with the perfect gold Jimmy Choo shoes and headpiece. Search our archives to see more real brides in Flora Bridal dresses. You won't regret it.

Bohemian Wedding Style

We opted for a fresh and lively look, perfectly suited to the summer atmosphere of the island, revealing a gipsy element in the choice of clothes and flowers. The make-up was done by Beauty Livery who enhanced the natural look with soft waves on long blond hair, a golden clasp (headpiece) with diamonds flowers and stones just above the bridal veil. To complete Jessica’s bohemian look she carried a colourful bouquet made with orange buttercups, roses, daisies, wildflowers and berries, eucalyptus leaves and pretty Chinese mandarins (kumquats). Jesse also kept the same light and fresh style of Jessica, with a Ralph Lauren suit in light grey fabric which accentuated the orange note of the boutonniere. After preparation in the elegant rooms of the Capri Palace, we reached Casa Orrico, a wonderful private villa overlooking the sea.

Planning a wedding abroad can be quite tricky even for the most organised of people. Luckily Jessica & Jesse had Capri Moments to help them plan their perfect day, overseeing the entire event. They are also the ones solely responsible for the amazing olive trees, flowers and candles hung from the canopy of bamboo canes at the wedding reception.
