As a wedding professional, few venues are as inspiring as Villa Gamberaia, and Chloe and Tony’s August wedding was a perfect expression of how timeless elegance and theatrical beauty can come together in one extraordinary celebration.
The ceremony took place in the evocative Grotta del Nettuno, a setting that feels both intimate and monumental. For this moment, the design focused on refined simplicity: gold chairs paired with white and green decorative elements, enhancing the natural beauty of the grotto without overpowering it. A delicate carpet of white flower petals created a soft, romantic aisle, guiding the couple toward their vows in an atmosphere filled with light, emotion, and harmony.
After the ceremony, Chloe and Tony shared a magical transition moment with their guests on the villa’s panoramic terrace. Overlooking Florence, they enjoyed the golden hues of sunset—one of those rare, suspended moments that make weddings at Villa Gamberaia so unforgettable. The terrace offered the perfect backdrop for celebrating, relaxing, and taking in the beauty of Tuscany at dusk.
Dinner was hosted in the intimate Grottino, where the couple’s bold vision truly came to life. A long imperial table set the stage for a dramatic reception inspired by The Phantom of the Opera. Rich red floral arrangements brought passion and intensity to the space, while gold candelabras added warmth and a sense of old-world grandeur. The result was a setting that felt mysterious, romantic, and undeniably theatrical—an immersive experience for every guest.
Each design choice was carefully curated to reflect the couple’s personality and to complement the historic character of the villa. Candlelight, florals, and textures worked together to create an unforgettable dining atmosphere.
The evening continued with the presentation of a breathtaking multi-tier wedding cake, adorned with a cascading waterfall of roses. Elegant and romantic, it became a true focal point of the celebration.
The night ended with dancing in the villa’s inner courtyard, where music, laughter, and joy filled the space. Under the Tuscan sky, surrounded by history and beauty, Chloe and Tony celebrated with their loved ones until late into the night.
Designing and coordinating weddings at Villa Gamberaia is always a privilege, and Chloe and Tony’s celebration was a perfect example of how inspired design and an iconic location can come together to create a wedding that is both deeply personal and visually unforgettable.
