Lake Como Wedding: Elegant, Colorful Celebration with a $80K Budget

Bride and groom embrace on a boat in Lake Como Italy

There are few sites on this earth more scenic than Lake Como. This couple knew from the start that it was the only location for them. They found themselves torn between a traditional wedding with a religious ceremony and a fun-filled colorful wedding with bold fashion choices. In the end, they asked themselves, why can't we have both...so they did!

Georgia Louise Weddings encouraged them to dream big and showed them that they could have their cake and eat it too, both literally and metaphorically! They started the day with a beautiful church ceremony, then they moved onto Villa Aura Del Lago where their reception was waiting for them, and it was bursting with color. From the bold blue linens that matched the lake to the pink, magenta, and yellow florals by Flowers And Me, vibrant colors set the scene wherever you looked! These photos by Stefano Cassaro perfectly capture all the joy from the day, especially on the faces of the couple's adorable fur babies! You can see all of the photos from this wedding in the full gallery. To hear more from Georgia Louise about this beautiful day on the lake, keep scrolling.

COLORFUL AND CHIC

Elena and Tomas decided to get married in Bellagio, one of the top destinations for couples looking for a luxurious and romantic wedding. The bride's only wish–to have a super colorful wedding, maintaining a unique and elegant style. They got married at a religious ceremony at the S.Giovanni church of Bellagio with an incredible view of Lake Como and then moved to Villa Aura Del Lago for their wedding reception. We wanted to challenge the idea that a colorful wedding can't be elegant and chic. If you do it in the right way, the result can be magnificent!
