Destination wedding in Venice: Hannah & Carlo’s island celebration
A TWO-DAY VENETIAN ESCAPE BRIDGING HONG KONG, AUSTRALIA AND ITALY IN A STORY OF QUIET LUXURY.
They chose Venice for a three-day celebration rooted in personal nostalgia, the city of their very first getaway together. Blending Hannah’s Australian heritage with Carlo’s Paduan roots, they gathered loved ones for an intimate journey through the authentic, lesser-known side of the Venetian lagoon.
Friday kicked off with bold bordeaux tones and authentic cicchetti on a panoramic rooftop overlooking the skyline. On Saturday, guests were whisked away to Venissa—a hidden vineyard sanctuary far from the crowded tourist paths, where all the guests experienced a true quiet luxury. After an unforgettable dinner surrounded by native vines, the event concluded with a private boat cruise carrying everyone back across the moonlit lagoon to Venice.
“Elisa and Giulia did a fantastic job organizing our wedding, which was a complicated 2-day event with people travelling from all over the world to attend. They were very easy to communicate with despite Carlo and I living in Hong Kong whilst they were in Italy. Everything over the 2 days went ahead perfectly and they were able to adapt real time if any changes were required. Would highly recommend for anyone having a wedding in the Venice area."
— HANNAH AND CARLOOur Note on Nuria & Riccardo
Designing Nuria and Riccardo’s wedding was a quiet, beautiful masterclass in modern hospitality. From our very first call, we were struck by their refined composure and gentleness—qualities that made working alongside them an absolute joy.
Every aesthetic choice was deeply intentional. We balanced a palette of deep olive greens, rich burgundy, and warm ivory to harmonize with the historic architecture of Villa Selvatico and the lush nature of the Euganean Hills. But beyond the design, what truly moved us was their unwavering thoughtfulness toward their guests. Knowing that family and friends were flying in from all over the world, many meeting for the first time, Nuria and Riccardo prioritized connection above all else.
Through bilingual stationery, interactive food stations, and curated local touches, they made everyone feel instantly welcomed, included, and deeply cared for. To witness a couple celebrate their roots with such generosity and quiet elegance is the reason we love what we do.
