Simple Italian Wedding with Effortless Style

Stylish Italian Wedding by Elisabetta Riccio 39

Oh my, this wedding is a lovely one.

Chiara & Jhonatan got married with a wonderful wedding in Tuscany. Rather than focusing on flowers or decor, their day was was a celebration of their mutual love of food, their gorgeous baby Gregorio, and fun with their friends and family.

Captured candidly by Elisabetta Riccio, Chiara & Jhonatan had a church ceremony – we just love those quintessential Italian town squares – a ride in an open-back truck, and an informal reception in a private villa in the Tuscan countryside.

A stylish pair – Chiara’s backless gown is just gorgeous – we don’t often get to share real weddings where the bride and groom have children, so it’s a real joy to give you guys ideas for beautiful wedding portraits that the whole family were a part of.

Oh and what a confetti shot!

Our Love Story

We met three years ago, during the harvesting of Sassicaia’s grapes in Bolgheri.

Gionata is a chef and he had his restaurant in Bolgheri, I was ending my masters in Food Culture and Communications at Tenuta San Guido and my tutor introduced him to me. It was love at first sight!

After four months I was pregnant and once Gregorio was born Gionata proposed. He reserved a whole restaurant and at the end of the dinner I found my ring in the dessert!

A very classic proposal, but very effective.

Our wedding in three words? Enthusiastic, joyful, and messed-up.
