A Fairytale at Villa Catureglio

The celebrations began with a relaxed rehearsal dinner at Fattoria Il Poggio Montecarlo, a charming farmhouse surrounded by vineyards and olive trees. Guests mingled over local wine and shared plates,with laughter and joy filling the air.

The next day, set just outside Lucca, Villa Catureglio awaited – a 13th-century estate nestled in the foothills of the Alpe Apuane mountains. With sweeping views, rustic stone buildings, and terraced gardens, it felt like stepping into a private Tuscan fairytale.

Every detail was seamlessly orchestrated by Love Story Events, whose calm precision and elegant style brought the day to life beautifully. Here are the details:

• Ceremony: Guests gathered among the lemon trees in the villa garden, surrounding the round water feature for a deeply personal and heartfelt ceremony.
  
  
• Mingling Hour: As the sun began to set, guests enjoyed a curated meat and cheese station in the garden, sipping Italian spritzes as golden hour turned everything to magic.
  
  
• Candlelit Dinner Under the Stars: Long tables set beneath olive trees and twinkling lights, soft florals with olive leaves by Flowers Living, and flickering candlelight created an atmosphere straight from a dream.
  
  
• Dancing in the Cellar: When night fell, the celebration moved indoors to the villa’s charming stone cellar, where music, laughter, and dancing carried on late into the night.
  
  

Capturing it all was the talented Giacomo Terracciano Studio and Lumos Produzioni event cinematography.

Why Lucca is Perfect for a Destination Wedding

Unlike Tuscany’s busier hubs, Lucca offers a sense of calm and authenticity that couples and guests fall in love with instantly. The old city is enclosed by Renaissance walls that you can walk or cycle along, overlooking church towers, piazzas, and terracotta rooftops.

It’s a place where life moves at an elegant pace, perfect for long lunches, golden-hour strolls, and heartfelt celebrations. Conveniently located between Pisa and Florence, Lucca is easy to reach yet feels worlds away from the crowds.

For couples dreaming of an Italian wedding that combines intimacy, heritage, and understated beauty, Lucca is pure magic.
