Relais Tenuta Il Cigno Wedding

Photography by Matteo Rossi Fotografia

Before we head into autumn, we have the outdoor Tenuta Il Cigno wedding of Chiara & Luca to show you -  it's beautiful, it's boho, and not only includes a delicious orange and green colour scheme and pampas grass flowers but also includes their pet horse as their ring bearer! Luca is a vet, and Chiara is a passionate horse rider, so saying I do at the riding school where they met in Italy was a no-brainer. Being lovers of nature and all animals, they tried to ensure their choices were as eco-friendly as possible, serving up a plant-based menu and wearing vegan shoes. Proof you don't have to compromise on style while staying true to your values. Capturing all the details is talented destination wedding photographer and Rock My Wedding Recommended supplier Matteo Rossi.

Our Tenuta il Cigno wedding day exceeded our wildest dreams, surpassing every expectation we held. It was a day of pure perfection. However, what made it truly extraordinary was the presence of our beloved horse. With a garland of flowers adorning his neck, he played the role of our ring bearer, a magical touch that turned him into the undeniable star of our ceremony.

Tenuta Il Cigno Wedding

Chiara and Luca's Tenuta Il Cigno wedding was an exquisite celebration that revolved around their love for animals, symbolised by the presence of their cherished horse. Their journey began beneath a canopy of trees, enveloped by the natural elegance of pampas grass floral arrangements and an artfully crafted wooden altar. As the day turned to night, their wedding celebration continued to unfold with a delicious plant-based banquet hosted in the charming country house. They also had an enchanting outdoor first dance and a dessert table illuminated by string lights.

Vegan & Eco-Friendly

Every choice made by Chiara and Luca resonated with their commitment to a vegan and eco-friendly ethos. From the plant-based menu enjoyed by guests to the vegan shoes adorning their feet. Every element of their wedding was a homage to their deep love for nature and animals. The outdoor ceremony allowed guests to bask in the picturesque setting as they comfortably sat on rustic wooden pallets. And, to further demonstrate their eco-conscious choices, plastic confetti made way for delicate dried flower petals, adding a touch of sustainable elegance to the festivities.
