Romantic Wedding Day of Elizaveta & Andrei
Date: 20 June 2024
When this young couple first contacted us, they had already chosen the setting for their dream wedding. Fate played its part during a journey through Italy, when their boat unexpectedly stalled directly opposite the most celebrated villa on Lake Como, Villa del Balbianello. That serendipitous moment became the deciding factor.
Elisa and Andrei adore Italy, so for their most important day they chose one of the world’s most scenic and romantic places: Lake Como.
Planning began immediately after their engagement. The couple chose Bacio Italiano and, over several months, took an active role in curating the finest services. All documents for the civil marriage were prepared remotely. From Russia, their beloved mothers flew in to share the moment.
THE BRIDE’S LOOK
Elisa wore a striking mermaid gown, its elegant embroidery lending exquisite refinement. A bouquet of white peonies paired beautifully with the groom’s suit. Their wedding bands, by Tiffany & Co., were purchased in Milan. To underscore the spirit of the day and honour each guest with a sense of quiet luxury, the couple opted for a total‑white dress code.
The morning unfolded in pure elegance at one of Lake Como’s most storied hotels, Villa Serbelloni. Over the years it has welcomed figures such as F. D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Hollywood greats. Six‑metre ceilings, silver tableware, and a glorious lake view set a fairytale tone for the couple’s first look. Throughout the day, the bride refined her look with subtle changes.
WEDDING CEREMONY
The couple chose the picturesque gardens of Bellagio’s town hall—rightly called the “pearl of Lake Como” for its architectural grace and sweeping panoramas. A white aisle runner and arrangements of white roses framed the scene, while the delicate sound of the harp filled the air. Yiruma’s “River Flows in You” became their hymn of love as the bride took her tender steps towards her future husband. The mayor officiated, accompanied by a translator. The most moving moments came with the vows: Elisa could not hold back tears of joy as they exchanged promises that will bind their lives forever..
After the civil ceremony, the newlyweds travelled to Villa del Balbianello. In the Loggia Durini they shared their first dance—full of love and happiness—to “Love Me Like You Do”. For their wedding dinner the couple continued to Lake Garda, where the evening drew to a close with heartfelt words from their parents and warm wishes that filled the air with love and joy.
“Dearest Elisa and Andrei, it was a pleasure and a privilege to walk this path with you. We wish you every happiness. Thank you for your trust and for sharing such an important day with us. Until we meet again!”
