FRAN & ALAN'S TUSCANY WEDDING

Francesca and Alan’s choice of Villa La Foce for their Tuscany wedding came by pure chance. The couple left London for a trip to Val D’Orcia to visit a wedding venue Francesca and Alan had seen online, however the original venue turned out not to be available for the following wedding season. Little they knew that this was a blessing in disguise. While exploring the area Francesca and Alan stumbled across Villa La Foce. Well known for its picture perfect Italian garden, Francesca and Alan fell in love with this gem of a venue and decided it on choosing it for their Tuscany wedding.

Fast forward to the following mid September and the day of Francesca and Alan’s Tuscany wedding at Villa La Foce finally arrived. The stunning manicured garden was the ideal setting for the couple’s Protestant ceremony. Considering the relatively small size of the group we decided to focus the set up around the statue and the fountain, the key features of the garden. The statue stands fiercely on a semi-circular stone base which we used a starting point to create a low round flower arrangement to encircled the couple during the ceremony. To maximise the space the chairs were set up over two rows per side and a corridor of flowers was placed along the sides. 

After the ceremony the guests moved to the upper garden for the aperitif. Purposely planned to take place at sunset, the guests enjoyed the best views that the Villa offers over the Val D’Orcia countryside while sipping Spritz and Prosecco.

Tuscany weddings at Villa La Foce can be very bespoke. Despite the elegance and history of the Villa, the spaces available for weddings are neutral and can be decorated to achieve any vision desired.

Francesca and Alan wanted the seated reception to feel like a casual affair with a romantic feel. Wooden imperial tables were used naked to enhance the props. The eyes were naturally drawn onto the pink and violet hues of the wild flowers displayed in golden antique vases, the tall golden antique candles which conferred movement to the overall display and the blue baseplates. String of lights above the tables were the last detail to achieve an intimate, family style feel.

After dinner the party moved to the Orangerie, a separate stone building located by the pool. A band from London was livening up the evening therefore we wanted to create a contrast between the fun of the party and the private feel of the rest of the day by producing a modern and young set up. The rectangular shaped area inside the Orangerie was divided into two by a wall of trees, a refence to the trees surrounding the pool area while the terrace outside was arranged with modern sofas and white leather pouffs to create lounge spaces where guests could enjoy a late summer evening of this beautiful Tuscany wedding at Villa La Foce.
