Had the most magical photoshoot with my husband in one of the most romantic towns in Sicily. Huge thanks to @marcoficili for capturing us in all the iconic corners of Taormina—from ancient alleyways to sweeping sea views.

My favourite spot? That dreamy aisleway by Dior on Corso Umberto… effortlessly chic and oh-so-Italian 🖤

If you’re dreaming of a destination wedding in Sicily, this is your sign. Taormina doesn’t just give Amalfi vibes—it is its own moment.

Planning a wedding in Lake Como is always a dream — but it’s also a journey of heart, trust, and countless meaningful details. 💫
For A+M, I had the honour of bringing their vision to life in one of the most breathtaking places in the world. From researching 50+ venues across Italy, to narrowing it down to the one in Lake Como, curating the perfect vendor team to ensuring every guest felt the magic, I was there every step of the way.
Creating unforgettable experiences like this is what I love most about being a wedding planner. 💍🇮🇹

Ashley & Michael’s wedding week began with the warmest welcome dinner at Chalet Gabriele @chaletgabriele in Bellagio 💛

We wanted guests to experience something more local and less touristy — a true taste of Italian hospitality. This family-run gem, lovingly managed by my Italian sister Fede and her family, served up delicious homemade dishes made with fresh, local ingredients.

Laughter echoed through the hills of Bellagio — the perfect start to a week full of love, connection, and unforgettable memories 🇮🇹
