Villa Cetinale Wedding in Tuscany inspired by the Dutch Masters
With a history stretching back to 1680 and a host of European aristocrats, Statesmen, and new Hollywood frequently alcoving, the honey-colored Villa Cetinale commissioned for Pope Alexander VII feels almost utopian. Steeped in architectural mastery and dripping with Mazzuoli sculptures, this frescoed Roman Baroque venue is just the perfect way to hail the new wedding season and make a couple feel like time has stopped for a while.
Tuscany captured the hearts of our bride and groom Catherine and David, who arrived all the way from Manhattan NYC to exchange their vows in its rolling hills, and I instantly felt the urge to design something that would have both them and their guests dream for days.
It might suffice to have had the famously sumptuous gardens of your wedding ceremony profiled by early 1900s author Edith Wharton, but as we like to have it, the charm is in the service. We wished to imbue the concept with meticulous, personalized design, calm, opulent and gently voluptuous. Drawing from the gracefully proportioned villa, its vaulted ceilings, and trompe-l’oeil paintings we created a deconstructed arch growing from the two cherub statues in the gardens, strewn with soft peach, coral and white blooms.
