A Pearl-Studded Wedding at Borgo Stomennano
There’s something magnetic about a wedding at Borgo Stomennano. Set deep in the Tuscan hills, this historic villa exudes old-world charm with its faded frescoes, terracotta walls, and vine-draped courtyards. For couples seeking a destination that feels both cinematic and soulfully grounded, it’s a rare find.
Captured by Rosalie Voortman, this celebration unfolds like a dream—equal parts fashion editorial and hedonistic house party. The bride floated through the day in a figure-skimming lace gown with a plunging neckline and dramatic train, later slipping into a feather-light tulle mini dress for the afterparty. Her pearl-studded heels—sculptural and unapologetically glamorous—became a statement all their own, perfectly in sync with the villa’s faded grandeur.
Morning began with laughter and champagne on a crimson-canopied bed, bridesmaids in gold satin robes lounging against velvet pillows. Meanwhile, in a neighboring salon hung with oil portraits, the groom shared a whisky toast with his groomsmen beneath a baroque chandelier. Every corner of the villa felt cinematic.
The ceremony, bathed in golden Tuscan light, gave way to cocktails in the garden and a champagne tower that overflowed with exuberance. Long tables were laid out under string lights for the reception, dressed with wild garden blooms and taper candles in muted sorbet tones. Against the soft-hued stone of Borgo Stomennano, the palette felt fresh, modern, and utterly romantic.
As night fell, the villa’s interiors became the stage for something looser, more playful. There were martinis, dancing, and intimate moments that somehow felt just as grand.
For modern couples drawn to artistry, old-world architecture, and a backdrop that asks you to surrender to the moment, Borgo Stomennano offers all the right notes.
