If you've ever dreamed of having your wedding feast under the Italian sun, you're going to fall head over heels in love with today's real wedding in Tuscany! Italian lovebirds Linda and Giuseppe live in The Netherlands, but returned to their homeland to tie the knot in the most effortlessly stylish fashion! The dreamy villa at Fattoria di Rignana in Chianti was the location for their boldly personal and flower-filled day, which is captured here in all its colourful glory by wedding photography duo Deusudue. We can't wait to show you the incredible day that Linda and Giuseppe put together, so let's dive right in, shall we!?

Linda and Giuseppe tell us that they met through mutual friends when they were both still at college. "We hit it off straightaway, and after graduating, we started travelling the world together, which brought us even closer," Linda says. "When I had an opportunity for a great job in the Netherlands, we both discussed it and decided to move there together. It was a decision we made as a team."

Can we just take a moment to talk about Linda's stunning bridal look!? Her wedding dress is a secondhand find by French designer Rime Arodaky, which came all the way from Australia. “Finding the right dress was difficult," she says, "as I don’t like overly feminine dresses, but this one was ideal as it was a little bit rock chic, like me! I will always be grateful to my sister, who is the best make-up artist, who did my make up in the style I love, with my signature cat-eye.”

The couple's oversized and rustic floral arrangements add so much colour to the day! “We chose a beautiful assortment of flowers such as peonies, roses, olive branches and eucalyptus, which smelled amazing,” Linda says.

Linda tells us that Giuseppe proposed during a stroll along the canals of Amsterdam. "We’d discussed marriage already, having been together for six years, but it hadn’t occurred to me that he would go for a traditional, romantic proposal,” Linda says. “As it turns out, it was so lovely, and he then took me to this amazing restaurant that I’d always wanted to try, where a special congratulations cake had been made for us!”

The couple tell us that their number one priority was finding a venue that worked for all of their guests. “We have friends and family living all over the world, so we needed a venue with enough bedrooms to host them.”

The couple found their perfect venue in Linda’s native region of Tuscany. “We knew the villa was the one from the moment we arrived. The style of this country house suited us perfectly, and the fact that the villa is set in the most gorgeous countryside in Tuscany didn’t hurt, either.”

Linda and Giuseppe loved the fact that Fattoria di Rignana allowed them and their guests to spend a lot of the day in nature. "Our wedding reflected us and our personal styles," Linda says. "It was understated yet elegant. We went for a traditional Italian venue in Tuscany, and had a nature-related theme, since we both love the great outdoors. We used colours like white, light pink, beige, and olive green."

What a handsome couple these guys make! Linda tells us that there are lots of memories attached to Giuseppe's suit. "It came from Thailand, and was actually tailor made back in 2015, so it has travelled the world with us!”

Linda and Giuseppe's guests received personalised sweets as wedding favours. "We used small glass jars with candy, which had our initials on them, made via shop Papabubble in Amsterdam. These were sealed using stickers and a wax seal from Etsy.” How cute!

This wild,  greenery-heavy tablescape is making us long for balmy Summer nights! “We planned the wedding ourselves, including styling the day," Linda says. Didn't they do a beautiful job!?

The couple carried their floral theme through to the dinner tables, which were adorned with a garland of eucalyptus leaves and the palest of pale peonies.

Music was another huge priority for this pair. ”We had both a band and DJ," Linda says. "Our live music came from Florence band Piaceri Proletari, a swing-folk band who were really great during the reception. We then moved on to DJ Andrea Ribas, who kept everyone on the dancefloor until the early hours!”

Linda and Giuseppe’s advice for other couples is to “plan ahead, and stay true to yourself. We organised the whole wedding ourselves, which definitely was stressful at times, but it made it all the more personal and special for us. And always remember that this is your day, and your party, so focus on what you want as a couple, and the rest should follow.” Here, here!

I don't know about you, but dining outdoors as the sun sets is pretty much my dream wedding reception situation!

This lucky pair spent their honeymoon in Thailand. “It’s a country we’ve travelled to several times, and have so many fond memories of. We’d recommend it as a destination as it’s so peaceful, so filled with nature, and it has the most stunning beaches and hotels, which are perfect for spending some quality time with your other half.”

Doesn't this look like the most magical wedding reception!? Thanks so much to Linda and Giuseppe for showing us around their gorgeous wedding day, and to Duesudue for sharing the beautiful images.
