Golden Hour Romance at Villa Arvedi in Verona
Photographed by Irena Balashko
There are places where time seems to pause, and Villa Arvedi is one of them. Perched in the hills of Verona, this historic villa sets the scene for weddings that balance Italian grandeur with intimacy. For this celebration, photographed by Irena Balashko, the villa’s sweeping gardens and Renaissance architecture became the backdrop for a day defined by romance and timeless beauty.

The photographer describes it as “a romantic elopement at the magnificent Villa Arvedi, where history and elegance meet. As the golden sunset bathed the villa’s gardens in warm light, the couple exchanged their vows surrounded by timeless Italian beauty and intimacy.” With every frame, the story of the day unfolds—an editorial vision of love brought to life in one of Italy’s most iconic wedding venues.
Details were kept refined yet striking. The bride’s off-the-shoulder gown paired with sculptural bows and flowing fabric created a sense of effortless drama, while the groom’s ivory suit offered a modern take on classic style. Together, their look harmonised perfectly with the villa’s ornate interiors and manicured gardens, reminding us why Italian weddings continue to captivate couples from around the world.
From quiet moments captured on the villa’s stone staircases to joyful drives in a vintage convertible, the celebration carried an understated cinematic quality. Every element—florals in soft pastels, candlelit interiors, the symmetry of the gardens—played a role in creating an atmosphere that felt both deeply personal and visually striking. For couples considering a destination wedding in Italy, Villa Arvedi embodies the kind of setting where memories linger long after the day has passed.
This celebration is not just a glimpse into one wedding, but an invitation to dream. Whether exploring wedding venues in Verona or browsing through more Italian wedding venues, Villa Arvedi offers a reminder of what makes Italy such a cherished destination: history, artistry, and a golden light that turns every moment into something unforgettable.
