This is a perfect example of an American wedding with an Italian flavor!

A refined couple from Chicago, in love with Italy , especially with Lago Maggiore, choose this place to celebrate their union at Villa Rusconi- Clerici – Pallanza (VB) .

Every single detail was thought with extremely good taste & finesse.

The day was spectacular and, as the hours passed by, the sky got bluer and the sun shined, perfect conditions for an open air celebration!

The couple & guests were staying at Grand Hotel Iles Borromees in Stresa and sailed in typical lake boats to the Villa waiting for the arrival of the bride & brides-maids.

The time when the bride boarded the little boat reminded … a Fellini’s movie !

At Pallanza, the grooms were blessed in an open-air ceremony by a protestant pastor as the sun was shining over the lake and a little orchestra was playing classic music … an extremely spiritual scene !

The whole event has been perfectly set up and coordinated by “Italia Celebrations” that has been very good at matching the American traditions with the Italian charm!

The dinner has been held in a separated covered part of the garden and the night was closed with the magical atmosphere created by hundreds of candles floating in the lake !

Enjoy !
