Chinese Tea Ceremony Wedding with Floral Arch in Lake Como
Photography by Sarah-Jane Ethan PhotographyWe may have said it once or twice but our ethos here at RMW is 'Your Day Your Way' and that could mean sticking to the traditions that mean something to your family or throwing the rule book out of the window. Our Bride and Groom today, Belle and James, chose to follow the Chinese Tea Ceremony wedding tradition but then went against the grain by also having a first look shoot where the two could meet before the ceremony. The Lake Como setting of this special moment is incredible
Lake Como Wedding
The moment we got engaged, we knew we wanted to have a small destination wedding. We searched online for venues in Lake Como. We visited the venue a few months before the wedding. We were looking for a private, intimate and romantic venue. We love the tiered garden and trees outside the villa giving a romantic vibe in the evening. The option to adorn the outdoor setting with lights and lantern, the scenery by the lake. Plus it was the perfect wedding/holiday type of venue so we could start our honeymoon earlyBelle and James
