Shadi & Arash

Wedding weekend in Florence at Villa Il Salviatino

Shady and Arash, a Persian and American couple living in Los Angeles, wanted to celebrate their wedding in Tuscany, especially in the hills of Florence. For them and their guests, coming from different countries of the world, we planned a truly unforgettable wedding weekend from Friday to Sunday. An extraordinary opportunity to immerse themselves in Florence and Tuscany wonders.

Welcome dinner to meet the wedding guests

Led by the Italian origins of the future bride and the love for this wonderful land, Shadi and Arash have always wanted to organize the wedding in Florence, with a romantic ceremony and reception in the heart of Tuscany.

Since family and friends would join them from different parts of the world, the couple wanted to welcome everyone in a venue that – in addition to hosting a ceremony and reception – could also welcome them for their accommodation. The choice then fell on Villa Il Salviatino, a stunning venue with rooms and suites perfect for a whole weekend of celebrations! To welcome the guests, on Friday evening we organized a welcome dinner that allowed future spouses, family, and friends to relax and spend time together.

Symbolic ceremony at Villa Il Salviatino

According to the Persian origins of the couple and to agree on the expectations of the family members, in the beautiful gardens of Villa Il Salviatino, we planned an intimate symbolic ceremony to combine elements of the Persian rite and a classic outdoor American ceremony.

The wedding celebrations continued throughout the evening of Saturday with an elegant reception in the garden, surrounded by the beauty of the Florence countryside. For the simple but extremely elegant settings, the chosen shades ranged from white linen tablecloths to yellow and magenta for flowers, candles, and centerpieces. The guests, arranged on imperial tables, spent a wonderful evening in the company of the newlyweds.

The brunch to say goodbye on Sunday morning

The wedding weekend of Shadi and Arash ended on Sunday morning with a great brunch served at Villa Il Salviatino, starting at 11. After a night of celebration and great joy, newlyweds and guests spent more time together between laughter and fun. In the end, family and friends greeted each other to leave.

The entire marriage of Shadi and Arash was immortalized with an analog-style photo reportage. The result was a glamorous shoot worthy of a Hollywood wedding, with no-pose photos that captured hugs, looks, and smiles surrounded by the magic of a special day.
