“A corner of paradise in Le Marche” houses a tranquil event venue called Villa Montefiore Country Resort. Organized by Nadia from Loving Marche Wedding, this shoot showcases how these quaint Italian countryside villas can transform into the ideal setting for intimate destination weddings.

“Kathleen, the owner of Villa Montefiore, reached out to me with a vision of creating an advertising book for her venue. She wanted to highlight the potential for hosting micro weddings at her picturesque villa,” Nadia shares.

Drawing inspiration from the villa’s garden style, its serene swimming pool, and striking powder pink walls, Nadia crafted a theme that was “special, modern, current, and colorful.” “We wanted something vibrant and daring, yet refined enough to fit the villa’s sophisticated ambiance,” Nadia explains. The goal was to appeal to North European clients seeking a summer holiday pool atmosphere without veering into excessive or monochromatic styles.

Intentionally minimalistic, the ceremony setup framed the rolling hills in the distance without detracting from the views. “We included only chairs and two gorgeous floral decorations in Medici amphorae,” the planner describes. Claudia Cameranesi’s floral designs brought a natural, wild, and botanical feel, harmonizing perfectly with the poolside location.

Set next to the swimming pool, the reception area offered a blend of modernity and warmth. “We used a white tablecloth and modern striped placemats under each guest’s plate, avoiding an overly rustic look,” Nadia notes. The long floral centerpiece cascaded down one side of the table, complemented by mini battery-operated plexiglass lamps from Luci e Sogni, creating an intimate and refined atmosphere.

From the couple’s preparation to the ceremony and the external photo session featuring a Vespa, every moment was meticulously captured as if it were a real wedding.

“We focused on highlighting all the details, from shoes to clothes, and the table setting. I loved the flowers and the stationery with its delightful details!” she exclaims. This attention to detail was evident in every element, from the bride’s dress by Sara Concept Bride and Jimmy Choo shoes to the groom’s attire by Sartoria Athena.

As Nadia reflects, “The Marche region, with its rolling green hills and tranquil ambiance, provides a perfect backdrop for those seeking a peaceful and romantic wedding experience.”
