Have you ever dreamed of having a fantastical Tuscan wedding? Picture limoncello, flowing wine, classic hues, and panoramic views! Katelyn and Justin couldn’t think of a better theme for their wedding than bringing their Tuscan aspirations to sunny Florida. The Spanish River Library in Boca is a lakeside venue that will make you feel like you just entered the Italian countryside!
Wedding planner Cali Curated helped the couple expertly plan their nuptials while photographer Marissa Nicole was there to capture each and every moment. One of the best parts of this wedding? The amazing flowers! Florist Wild Greenery did an outstanding job making each part of this wedding look perfectly pretty and romantic. Let’s dive into this Tuscan-inspired dream wedding!
Starting the Day off Right
Behind every bride is a gorgeous pair of wedding shoes! We believe every pair of wedding shoes tells a story, and this pair of Jimmy Choo’s tells us that Katelyn is a classic bride who loves a little touch of glam!
How ADORABLE are Katelyn’s robe and bridal sunnies?! (if you are looking for her exact pair, we found them here)
Jason and Katelyn got in some much-needed hugs after their first look. The bride wore the Lotus gown by Alexandra Grecco while the groom wore a sleek, muted blue suit.
I wanted a timeless and effortless look. I wanted the dress to represent my style. It was most important for me to be comfortable and feel beautiful. Mission accomplished on both fronts for me.
Even the little ones got in on the fun!
To Be Married
Katelyn excitedly walked down the aisle with a parent in each arm.
Processional: Go with something that means something to just you and your partner. doesn't have to be the classic 'Here comes the bride' stuff!
Recessional: Pick something fun and upbeat; think of this as your going out song! We chose Signed, Sealed, Delivered by Stevie Wonder
First Dance: HIRE A DANCE INSTRUCTOR! You'll thank us later! Pick a song that you will bring back good memories of your special day! We chose I Don’t Dance by Lee Brice
And before you know it, the happy couple is now married!
This married cocktail hour signage is the perfect photo op for your guests!
Sunset remains one of the most idyllic times of day to take your wedding portraits. The dreaminess of golden hour never gets old!
Off to Tuscany
Lemons, linens, and love are the way to go! The couple’s sweetheart table was comprised of a rustic wooden table, boxes of lemons, and a plethora of beautiful roses. Any Italian-lover’s dream!
The attendee’s tables were gorgeously decorated with dramatic, European-inspired plates and flatware. Colorful tapered candles offered an elevated, modern touch to the look.
Limoncello fans, rejoice! This amazing seating chart instantly transports guests to the Italian countryside.
The charcuterie selection was to die for. Staples like pecorino romano and artichokes hearts graced the board for guests to enjoy. Which savory treat here is your fave?
No wedding is complete without some dancing! We’re huge fans of this classic black and white checkered dance floor.
Dancing the night away with all of our friends and family!
