This particular wedding shoot captures the essence of luxury and intimacy, showcasing the magic of an authentic Tuscan castle. From its historic architecture to its enchanting gardens, every detail serves as a reminder of why Tuscany is the ultimate destination for couples seeking an extraordinary wedding experience.
Floral Elegance Meets Sustainability
The floral arrangements played a key role in elevating the beauty of this setting. My florist (Magnolia Wedding Florist) designed a simple yet elegant arch and bouquet to complement the castle’s natural charm. The arrangements included:
- Dark Anthurium
- Preserved and Natural Fern
- Daisies
- Free Spirit Roses
- Dried Gypsophila
The use of preserved materials like fern, amaranthus, and gypsophila reflects a commitment to sustainability, allowing for reusability while maintaining an exquisite aesthetic. The remaining flowers were locally sourced from the Tuscan countryside, grown with minimal environmental impact—a detail that resonates with couples who value eco-friendly wedding design.
Timeless Italian Style: The Vintage Car
Adding to the experience was a stunning 1962 Alfa Romeo Spider, an authentic Italian vintage car with original wood details. Its classic design and timeless elegance made it the perfect complement to the castle’s old-world charm. This thoughtful addition enriched the visual narrative, making the day even more unforgettable.

Bridal and Groom Attire
The bride’s gown was the exquisite Suki model by Glaces Love Lace, brought from England by Noraev Bridal. Its refined style perfectly matched the old-money aesthetic of the shoot. The groom wore a sophisticated navy tuxedo by Alessandro Gilles from Wedding Poggibonsi by Rossi & Rossi, embodying elegance and complementing the castle’s regal setting.
For couples planning their wedding, selecting the right attire often involves a balance between working with local and international vendors. While having access to a trusted atelier in your home country ensures seamless fittings and adjustments, choosing local professionals for other aspects—like photography—offers undeniable advantages.

Why Local Expertise Matters
Hiring a wedding photographer with in-depth knowledge of Tuscany is a game-changer. A local photographer not only understands the nuances of the region’s unique light and weather conditions but also has established relationships with other vendors. This synergy creates a seamless experience for the couple, where every detail is harmoniously coordinated.
For instance, my experience working across Italy—from the golden light of Tuscany to the distinct atmospheres of Puglia, Sicily, and Lake Como—has honed my ability to adapt to any setting. In Tuscany, the light shifts in ways that are both challenging and rewarding to capture, making it essential to have someone who truly understands its intricacies.
The Power of Collaboration
A wedding is a collaborative effort involving a diverse team of professionals—from florists to hair stylists, makeup artists, lighting technicians, and musicians. When there’s coordination and mutual understanding among the team, the result is a flawless celebration. A local photographer often serves as the glue, ensuring that every element comes together smoothly to create unforgettable memories.
In choosing an authentic Tuscan castle as your venue, you’re not just selecting a location; you’re embracing an experience. The history, beauty, and ambiance of such a place add a richness to your wedding day that no modern venue can replicate. With the right team by your side, your wedding in Tuscany will be nothing short of magical.
