A Vision Inspired by Italian Charm
Nestled on the edge of Lake Como, LA VILLA REGIA provided a setting that effortlessly captures the spirit of Italian luxury. Framed by terraced gardens and sunlit balconies, the estate’s architecture became a natural canvas for this story — one that balances historic grandeur with modern sensibility.
For EVENTISTRY, the inspiration began with the changing colors of the season. Warm light, crisp air, and the golden hues of autumn guided the palette and design, resulting in a celebration that felt both organic and elevated. Every element was chosen to enhance the beauty of the surroundings and highlight the timeless romance that defines Italy’s most iconic lake.
Autumn Warmth and Refined Design
The table design by EVENTISTRY brought together the richness of the season with a fresh and unexpected layout. A square table design encouraged connection, offering a contemporary twist on traditional dining arrangements.
Each setting featured lush linens, patterned napkins, and refined tableware — a thoughtful balance of luxury and texture. Seasonal blooms in warm amber and ochre tones were paired with locally sourced fruit, adding natural abundance and depth to the tablescape. The overall effect was a scene that felt simultaneously intimate and indulgent, a perfect reflection of autumn’s inviting warmth.
Bridal Beauty in Two Acts
The bridal styling captured the duality of Italian romance — both timeless and contemporary. Gowns provided by MARIA LUISA BENETTI reflected soft femininity and modern structure, transitioning seamlessly from day to evening looks.
With hair and makeup by EIFFEL BEAUTE, the bride exuded natural grace: glowing skin, softly swept hair, and a hint of effortless glamour that complemented the warm tones of the setting. Completing the look, organic florals by DELLA BELLA FIORI added an artful touch of texture and movement — perfectly in tune with the Italian countryside’s natural beauty.
This editorial was a love letter to the season. Every design choice — from the florals and linens to the textures of the gowns — celebrated autumn’s rich palette while maintaining a sense of airiness and elegance.

Moments by the Lake
Before the evening celebrations began, the couple took a private wooden boat tour from Torno, a picturesque lakeside village known for its pastel façades and cobblestone charm. Bathed in golden sunlight, their quiet escape captured the essence of Italian romance — tranquil, cinematic, and deeply intimate.
As they returned to the villa, the atmosphere shifted from serene to celebratory. Guests gathered beneath strings of soft light as the sun dipped behind the mountains, reflecting on the water in tones of amber and rose. It was a moment that felt suspended in time — the kind of effortless beauty only Italy can offer.
A Seasonal Symphony
From start to finish, this editorial was a love letter to the season. Every design choice — from the florals and linens to the textures of the gowns — celebrated autumn’s rich palette while maintaining a sense of airiness and elegance.
CORA PROPER’S imagery captured not just the aesthetic beauty, but the feeling of the day: the warmth of connection, the gentle play of light on water, and the harmony between nature and design. The result is a story that feels timeless yet fresh — an ode to Italian artistry, romance, and the enduring magic of Lake Como.
