A Maison Aries Bride for a Magical Autumnal Jewish Wedding at Villa Le Corti in San Casciano Val di Pesa, Tuscany, Italy

18/04/2022 by Karen Cinnamon

Ludivine and David, Villa le Corti, Italy

Today’s couple, Ludivine and David, had one of the most exquisite autumn Jewish weddings we’ve seen – and we see a lot! With the help of their amazing wedding planner, Smashing The Glass Recommended Vendor Deborah di Castro, the pair was able to bring all of their Tuscan autumnal fantasies to life – and then some!

They opted for moody autumnal colors, from rusted orange to deep violet, and their décor went all in on the autumnal fruits Italy is known for, like chestnuts and figs. And don’t even get us started on the couple’s amazing chuppah – absolutely not to be missed in Antonio Carneroli’s magical photos.

Of course, it doesn’t hurt that Ludivine and David started out with a totally dreamy venue, Villa Le Corti – pure Tuscan romance. And we’re obsessed with Ludivine’s unconventional gown from Maison Aries – such a unique, modern look, yet 100% fit for a fairy tale princess.

Now over to Ludivine…

How we Met

Ludivine, the bride: David was my tutor in law school for a semester in 2014, and was at the same time buddies with my brother. From 2014 to 2019 we would run into each other at birthdays, weddings, parties. We finally met again, in May 2020, in the middle of Covid. Since that day, we never left each other.

A Tuscan Wedding

We chose Villa Le Corti in San Casciano val di pesa , and we fell in love because it was exactly the Tuscany mood we were looking for and we really wanted to get married there. It was big enough for us.

Autumnal Vibes

We had an AMAZING wedding planner called Deborah di Castro and our theme was autumn mood made of colours like orange, violet, sienna color,  grape and we use fruits on the decor as chestnuts and figs.

Chuppah

I decided with Deborah di Castro that both of us loved colours and creativity. The mood as I said was autumn so we chose all the deep colours.

Advice to couples currently planning their wedding

My suggest is to find someone who can help you, someone you believe in. And have fun and live each moment, since the wedding run very fast and the day after when you wake up you’ll wish you could do it again.
