Il Borro Wedding Welcome Dinner | Fly Away Bride

via

I've come across the beautiful venue of Il Borro in Tuscany a number of times on my travels and it is really one of those places that stops you in your tracks. Meghan and Stevens wedding celebrations started with a relaxed welcome dinner for family and friends that was perfectly put together by Italia Celebrations. Long tables were styled with super cute terracotta and stone pots, fresh herbs and fruit picked from the gardens and were a sure sign of the amazing few days that lay ahead. Photographer Magnus Bogucki did a superb job capturing the atmosphere of this very special evening. Il Borro Wedding

"Meghan and Steven had a stunning three day wedding over the July 4 week in Tuscany. Meghan is from Chicago and Steven is from Scotland. When Brenda of Italia Celebrations suggested Il Borro in Tuscany it was love at first sight. The magic of finding exactly what you are looking for when you didn't know how to pull together all the thoughts and feelings into a concrete visual of what you were looking for.The planning spanned 18 months with countless emails and meetings, tastings and trials to make sure that every little detail of every event would be absolutely perfect. The bride loved the process so much that she has now changed careers to become a wedding planner herself (Extraordinary Days in the UK).The wedding began with a Welcome Pizza Party in the Medieval Borgo of the villa. Tables were set up near the outdoor pizza oven in the tiny piazza that dates back over 500 years. The mood was rustic, vintage but refined. The tables were decorated with aromatic herbs that are typical of Tuscany as well as figs and lemons. We suggested an Italian folk duo to perform at the welcome dinner and it was the perfect way to break the ice and to get everyone in a festive party mood. From that moment they were under the spell of Tuscany with its abundant charms honed over the centuries."
