As we peruse the beautiful photos of Andrew and Lauren’s destination wedding, we can’t help but be transported to the lush landscapes of Tuscany. It was there, in a charming villa tucked away amongst rolling hills and vineyards, that this amazing couple exchanged their vows. Their wedding wasn’t just a day but a full multi-day celebration, blending the romance of Italy with the joy of their union, all while keeping sustainability at heart.
Andrew and Lauren prioritized creating unforgettable memories not only for themselves but for everyone in attendance. They chose a picturesque setting of a rented villa, hosting the ceremony in the villa’s yard, and their reception dinner inside the villa. It was not just a feast for the eyes but also for the palate, with chefs preparing divine, locally-sourced meals that brought authentic Italian cuisine to each plate. Their experience-focused approach continued with carefully planned excursions, allowing guests to explore the beauty of Italy, resulting in a truly immersive experience.
The laughter, the clinking of glasses, the shared stories during these excursions remain some of their favorite memories, ones that reflect the warmth and care we cherish here at Oak + Honey. These intimate moments are the threads that weave a destination wedding week into a blanket of cherished recollections.
For couples embarking on the sacred journey of matrimony, Andrew and Lauren’s best piece of advice is simple yet profound: “Do what you want to do. Don’t let others take over the planning.”
We couldn’t agree more. Your wedding day should reflect your values, your love, and your unique story. We stand by you, ready to offer a guiding hand and the steady support of an old friend. As you weave your dreams into a day that celebrates your future, know that with a grounded approach and a clear vision, your wedding will bloom into existence, as purposeful and beautiful as your love for one another.
We raise our glasses to Andrew and Lauren, who’ve demonstrated that when you pair a gorgeous setting like Tuscany with a thoughtful, love-centered celebration, the result is nothing short of magical. And to all our future clients, we say, let’s create magic together—sustainably, joyously, and with a heart full of Italian sunshine.
