Together with their families

Elena & Theo

Saturday, 12 June 2027 · Florence, Italy

We're getting married in the hills where the evening light turns everything gold — and we'd love you beside us for the whole weekend.

Our story

A shared umbrella, and ten sunny years since

We met on a rainy afternoon when Theo offered half an umbrella and Elena offered directions — both of us were lost. We've been finding our way together ever since.

Florence is where we spent our first trip abroad, so it felt right to come back and celebrate with the people who shaped us.

  1. 2017One umbrella, two wrong turns, a long coffee.
  2. 2021A shared flat, a very tall bookshelf, a small garden.
  3. 2026A question asked at sunrise. An easy yes.

The weekend

Three days of long tables and golden hours

Good to know

A few details to help you plan

Dress code

Garden formal: light suits, summer dresses, soft colours. The ceremony is on grass, so skip the stilettos.

Getting there

Florence is the closest airport and rail hub. A shuttle will run from the city centre to the venue on Saturday.

Staying nearby

We've reserved a small block of rooms in town. Booking details are included with your invitation.

Gifts

Your company is truly the gift. If you'd like to add something, a card box will wait at the welcome table.

Questions

Everything else you might wonder

Can I bring a plus-one?

Your invitation lists everyone we've saved a seat for. If you're unsure, just note it in your RSVP and we'll get back to you.

Are children welcome?

We love your little ones. Children named on the invitation are warmly welcome at every event, and there will be a quiet corner with games during dinner.

What happens if it rains?

The ceremony and dinner move under a covered loggia just steps from the garden. Nothing changes about timing or dress.

Can we take photos during the ceremony?

We're asking for an unplugged ceremony so everyone can be fully present. Snap away from the reception onwards — we'd love to see your shots.

I have dietary needs. Will there be options?

Absolutely. Let us know in the RSVP form and we'll share it with the kitchen well before the day.
