Hotel Saint Cecilia

Michael proposed to Chloe in the picturesque Lake Como, so it was a no brainer they wanted to give a nod to Italy when designing the rehearsal dinner! To incorporate Italian touches, we leaned into using lemons as a theme as well as hues of blues. A handful of Chloe and Michael’s wedding guests were staying at the beautiful Hotel Saint Cecilia for the weekend and their black and white terrace underneath the oak trees created a perfect setting for this intimate dinner.

The flowers from Remi & Gold were truly a focal point and perfectly tied in with the vibrant Italian color scheme. In addition, Bryker Design executed the vision perfectly with the stationery. A few of my favorite rehearsal dinner details were the lemon spritz cocktails that were flowing all night, the hand-poured limoncello bottles for guests to take as a party favor, and the life-size cardboard cutouts of the bride and groom throughout different stages of life.

All of these touches created the most stunning evening for friends and family to gather and share stories about the couple. The night was full of laughs, cheers, and excitement for the day ahead. Working with Chloe and Michael to bring Italy to Austin was such a treat, and the perfect way to start their fun wedding weekend!

XOXO,
