What do you picture when you think of a destination wedding set in Italy? A rustic, countryside affair? Think again. This posh and elegant wedding featuring our taper candles on OnceWed is definitely not what you would expect for an Italian destination wedding.

The lovely bride and groom may be Canadian and Australian born and residing in Los Angeles, CA, but they chose the heart of Florence, Italy, as the backdrop for their luxe destination wedding.

With the help of local stylists BiancoAntico and Laura Bravi Events, Jacinte and Hal opted for a truly unique setting at one of the most elegant and luxurious villas in all of Florence: the Villa Cora. The hotel is both exquisite and refined and features several quirky details to surprise the wedding guests.

BiancoAntico and Laura Bravi Events made sure that the style of the wedding carefully balanced the richness of the venue, the grandeur of the Florentine’s surroundings, with romantic yet stylish touches -- all while avoiding an “overdone” look. The result? Absolute perfection.

Every design choice was a reflection of the bride and groom: stylish and classic, but in a unique way! For the reception, they chose a clean, refreshing palette using blues, gold and yellows in a variety of shades. The team paired those hues with both classic stylistic choices mixed with some eclectic details. Our taper candles fit the color palette flawlessly! See more on OnceWed.
