A subtly groovy 70’s inspired wedding filled with Italian charm

Julia and John were college sweethearts who met at a Valentine’s Day social event - Julia remembers being charmed by John the moment he asked her where they should snag food afterward. Before they knew it, the couple was engaged at Mount Haleakalā in Hawaii. John proposed while they watched the sun crest over the clouds. Leaning into a groovy state of mind, Julia and John’s wedding boasted a vibrant feel only the countryside of Italy could deliver. Hosted at the Dievole Resort in Castelnuovo Berardenga, the 18th-century villa came with soaring views across the Chianti countryside. Keep scrolling to see how they brought their muted, 70's inspired destination wedding to life, captured by The Genovese Studio and planned with the help of Giulia Alessandri.
