Tuscan Wedding in a castle

It was an hot sunny day in Tuscany, last July when Jenny and Tim got married in a fantastic Medieval castle not far from Siena.

Actually it was sunny until a couple of hours before the romantic ceremony took place. Then, suddenly, a gentle breeze refreshed all party revealing large dark clouds at the horizon. The clouds covered the sun and the sky while all audience was waiting for the bride and a lot of lighting appeared at the horizon.

It was a special moment; I mean, you organize a fantastic Tuscany wedding in July with all your friends and family and the weather turns to rain? How can it be?

Actually the day before the wedding we set-up an elegant white marquee near the pool, but it was supposed to protect from the sun not from the rain!

The bride eventually arrived in a splendid white gown and a simple and elegant calla lilies bouquet designed by Carla and Silvia, our local flower designers in Siena. The attention of all guests moved to the charming bridesmaids in their beautiful pearl dress and just after them the wonderful bride; Nobody noted the few drops of rain that touched the ground. The ceremony proceed smoothly without the heat of the Italian summer and eventually during the cocktail the sun appeared again behind the leaving clouds.

The cocktail aperitif was set-up in the Italian garden of the castle, in front of the main tower, where Elisabetta, one of our top photographers, had the opportunity to shots hundreds of candid pictures to all party. At 7 pm the master of ceremony invited all guests to enter the outdoor loggia of the castle for the wedding dinner; just a few minutes for the last group pictures and then the party started with the delicius Tuscan meal followed by a professional DJ set until late night.
