James and Parysa's Wedding in Florence, Florence

Our Real Wedding

We had such a magical few days celebrating our wedding at Villa La Palagina, just south of Florence in Tuscany. The night before our wedding, we enjoyed a stunning dinner in the vines with all our guests. Every detail was perfect, and it felt like a joyous big family meal! It was a great way to kick off the celebrations. When it came to our wedding day, everything was so relaxed and went smoothly. Our guests enjoyed plenty of time in the sunshine before our ceremony in the garden. The best part, we were able to get legally married there, too! After, we enjoyed a live trio by the pool for the aperitif. This was followed by the most picturesque dinner set up - just in time to enjoy the sunset and have our wedding meal under the stars. After having the best-tasting wedding cake we’ve ever had, we partied the night away with our guests with plenty of Italian cocktails and some pizzas at midnight to keep everyone going! The day after we enjoyed a walk with our guests to a local pizzeria we’d been recommended, and finished the day with another big meal in the villa’s restaurant followed by more of our wedding cake. Everything was perfection - there’s no chance of wedding blues, we’re still riding on a high from the best time.
