A radiant, unconventional wedding: Martina & Federica’s secret “I do”
A true love, with a light all their own
Martina and Federica are drawn to the intimate, vibrant, and sincere glow of candlelight.
And with that very same light, they chose to tell the story of the most important day of their lives.
Two days before the wedding, no one , not even their closest friends , knew where they would tie the knot. An invitation at the hotel, a note left in each room, a shuttle ready to depart: that’s how the surprise took shape.
A mysterious treasure hunt of love.
A sunset ceremony, among flowers and candlelight
Everything began with an aperitif by the small lake, immersed in the calm of the Convento dell’Annunciata’s vast park.
Then, at dusk, the ceremony along the avenue became a hymn to the essential: an aunt officiating the civil union, hundreds of candles, and a sea of flowers.
A powerful, poetic choice that flipped the traditional order of events: first the welcome, then the “I do.”
Backwards. Like those who truly love, without a script.
An imperial table, surrounded by 500 custom-made candles
For the dinner, too, they chose to be bold, breaking every convention.
A bare table, without a tablecloth, set outdoors beneath luminous arches and a horizon of tiny lights.
Over 500 handmade candles created a suspended space, outside of time.A clean, essential mise en place, designed to let the light shape the shadows, the reflections, the emotions.
A lamp as a favor, and a new beginning
The wedding favor was a declaration of intent: a small lamp, symbol of their new journey together.
For Martina and Federica, this wasn’t just a wedding. It was the first step in a conscious transformation.
At forty, they chose to change their lives and open up to new possibilities.
A brave choice, perfectly in tune with the way they lived every moment of that day: with freedom, authenticity, and love.
A day that lights the way ahead
That day wasn’t just a celebration.
It was a statement. A way to say – to each other and to the world –: “We’ve chosen our light”.
And from now on, that light will follow them everywhere.
