Modern & Stylish Destination Wedding In Italy

Modern & Stylish Destination Wedding In Italy | Stefano Stantucci 29

From the first few frames you see of this sun-soaked destination wedding in Italy, you can tell this couple has style. The modern furnished yet rustic venue in the Italian countryside, the bride’s 3D embellished custom gown, the groom’s superfly sunnies and the vintage getaway car, these two are the cool kids on any block in Puglia.

Puglia has become a hip travel hotspot in recent years, thanks to its modern white villas and boutique hotels, and off-the-beaten-path travel deal appeal. The blank canvas of Masseria Potenti set the stage for hip, bohemian decor, including a giant, lit dreamcatcher, hanging cactus paddies and herb bouquets, and regionally appropriate dried chilis.

Then add the smart dressed couple, Emma wearing a luxe, custom, boho Mira Zwillinger gown touting those 3D lace embellishments we are cheering over from bridal collections these days. See the appliques move in the seaside breezes in the polished and cool wedding film at the end of the post, by Luigi de Gregorio.

The whole breezy, beautiful destination wedding was photographed by one of our favorite photographers Stefano Santucci.

The Wedding Weekend

We were lucky to be able to enjoy a three-day affair with all our guests. Starting with a drinks and aperitivo reception at an open-air restaurant that poured out onto the cobbled streets of Manduria on Friday night, followed by the wedding that began at dusk on Saturday and partied through until 6am. Then we threw an incredible poolside bbq on Sunday where our DJ continued to play our favorite music and we danced until the last of the transport whisked our guests away.

My most special moment was when my father helped me out of our vintage car and lead me to find my first glass of champagne and dancing with our friends to what became our wedding song – Azari & III “Hungry For The Power The Jamie Jones Remix”.
