Romantic Italian Villa Wedding Inspiration

Ivy and vines, stately columns and sophisticated romance: this Italian villa-inspired styled shoot evokes emotions of wanderlust, nostalgia and love! Greenery galore and terracotta brick walls transport us to a world across the sea, with modern touches found in contemporary details. Gorgeous calligraphy on crisp white paper, a tall dark gray settee and contemporary table settings modernize this old-world Italian villa-esque setting at Houston’s The Gallery. Scroll down to see the photographer’s thoughts about the shoot, and take a look at the gorgeous photos below! Cheers!

From the photographer: “The Gallery in Houston has a wonder quality about it that makes you feel like you’re in an Italian villa instead of in the middle of Houston. The romance that can be felt while touring around Italy made perfect inspiration for this beautiful styled shoot. Vanessa did an amazing job portraying the spirit of the shoot in a beautiful dress from Shade of White, while holding another beautiful creation from Poison Ivy Floral. The delicate nature of the stationary suite that Memory Lane Paperie put together was my favorite part!”
