A Romantic Lake Como Wedding:
Alissa & Matt’s Intimate Celebration at Villa del Balbianello
August on Lake Como has a special kind of magic — golden light, calm waters, and that unmistakable feeling of romance in the air. For Alissa & Matt, it was the perfect setting for their dream luxury destination wedding. Surrounded by their closest family and friends, they celebrated love in one of the most breathtaking locations in Italy: Villa del Balbianello.
A Peaceful Morning by the Lake
The day began in their private villa on Lake Como, where both Alissa and Matt got ready for the big day. The morning was filled with laughter, excitement, and heartfelt moments. Alissa spent the morning with her bridesmaids and her mother — a serene atmosphere of beauty and anticipation as they prepared for the ceremony. Meanwhile, Matt shared joyful moments with his friends, full of smiles and a touch of nerves.
A Scenic Boat Ride to Villa del Balbianello
When it was time, elegant private boats awaited the guests at the villa’s pier, ready to take them across the lake to Villa del Balbianello — one of the most iconic wedding venues on Lake Como. The short journey across the sparkling waters set the tone for a day full of elegance and emotion.
Upon arrival, guests were amazed by the natural beauty and timeless charm of the villa. The ceremony area was perfectly styled, featuring two tall vases filled with exquisite floral compositions, adding a touch of sophistication to the already stunning surroundings.
An Emotional Ceremony Among the Gardens
As the bride’s boat approached the pier, everyone took their seats in anticipation. When Alissa stepped out, radiant in her white gown and lace-adorned veil, time seemed to stand still. Matt’s eyes filled with tears as he saw his bride walking toward him — a moment that touched everyone present.
The ceremony was intimate and full of emotion, enriched by personal anecdotes about their love story — from their first meeting to their most special dates. It was a celebration of genuine love, laughter, and connection.
Timeless Beauty and Lake Como Charm
After the ceremony, the newlyweds explored the gardens of Villa del Balbianello for portraits surrounded by romantic terraces and views over the shimmering lake. Every corner of the villa offered a stunning backdrop — a photographer’s dream.
From there, the couple and their guests boarded the boats once again, this time heading to Relais Villa Vittoria, where the reception took place. The boat ride provided another magical opportunity for photos, with the sunset casting a golden glow across the lake.
An Elegant Dinner by the Water
At Relais Villa Vittoria, the atmosphere was relaxed and joyful. Guests enjoyed a refreshing aperitif while sharing their favorite moments from the ceremony. Dinner was served on a beautifully decorated terrace, with white drapery, elegant candles, soft floral arrangements, and two majestic vases framing Alissa and Matt at their seats.
The speeches were emotional, the food unforgettable, and the joy palpable. Every detail reflected the couple’s refined taste and the luxury Lake Como wedding experience they had envisioned.
A Touching Surprise and a Night to Remember
As the evening continued, Alissa surprised Matt with a sweet gesture — a small sculpture representing Stella, their beloved dog who couldn’t be there on their wedding day. It was a heartfelt moment that brought smiles and tears to everyone around.
The night ended under the Italian stars, with laughter, dancing, and love filling the air. It was a celebration that perfectly captured the essence of Lake Como weddings — romantic, elegant, and timeless.
