Welcome
"Two lives, one love, a story worth celebrating."

We are overjoyed to welcome you into this chapter of our lives. After years of adventures, laughter, and quiet evenings that felt like home — we are ready to stand before the people we love most and say yes to forever.

This is not simply a wedding — it is the beginning of our greatest story. We have carefully curated every detail of this day to reflect who we are and what we hold dear.

Our Story

01Where It All Began

The First Encounter

It was a rainy Tuesday at a small bookshop in Florence when Isabelle reached for the same book as Alexander. Their eyes met, an apology turned into coffee, coffee into dinner, and dinner into a conversation that lasted until midnight. They did not know it then, but everything changed in that moment.

02Growing Together

Two Worlds, One Life

Over the next three years, they navigated two cities, countless late-night calls, and every adventure they could carve from their calendars. From the Scottish Highlands to the coast of Amalfi, they built a life that was theirs — unconventional, vibrant, and deeply real.

03The Proposal

He Asked, She Said Yes

On the evening of December 12th, beneath a sky full of stars at their favourite rooftop restaurant in Paris, Alexander got down on one knee. With trembling hands and a heart full of everything, he asked. She said yes before he could finish the question.

Style Guide

Dress Code

We invite our guests to dress in the spirit of a sophisticated evening — dark, elegant, and refined. Black tie optional means you are welcome in a tuxedo, formal suit, or floor-length gown.

We kindly ask guests to avoid wearing white, ivory, or champagne — and to leave casual wear at the hotel. Think theatre premiere, not garden party.

Palette inspiration: Deep blacks, charcoal, midnight navy, burgundy, and muted forest tones pair beautifully with our venue.
