Planning

Fashionable Lake Como Wedding Inspiration

This colorful and quirky Lake Como Elopement inspiration was all about blending classic and local Italian style with modern on-trend elements. What did that mean for planners Wed House and the amazing vendor team that took on the majesty of Villa Balbiano? It meant romantic fairy tale vibes made bold with a dramatic pink feather wedding dress. Historic architecture blended with sleek, modern seating and American-inspired dried palm installations. It also meant that the team enhanced local handmade decor pieces with an eclectic color palette and classical textures like gilded frames, soft fringe and luxe velvet. They share:

The interior of Villa Balbiano was an inspiration to all the elements that inspired us. All the paintings, the vintage furniture, each piece was a masterpiece and to follow the grand plan of the Villa. The most amazing part of designing this elopement is to combine local elements to what is in trend now and let the creativity fly away. Eloping is such a beautiful way to get married so let’s celebrate it by being a bit also crazy and follow your own rules.

Lilly Red captured the most jaw-dropping images. Ready to take a look? Let’s go!
