A wedding in the heart of Tuscany where every moment unfolded like a love letter—intimate, elegant, and timeless.
Setting the Scene
Golden light danced across the hills as guests wandered through the stone archways of Borgo Finocchieto. The air smelled of rosemary and celebration. Beneath a canopy of chandeliers woven with greenery, long tables stretched along the garden terrace. A soft French blue whispered through linen details and floral ribbons, and just beyond the hedges, vineyards waited patiently. As vows were exchanged in an intimate church just beyond the property, where the bells echoed throughout the hills.
Why This Destination?
The couple dreamed of a celebration that felt both worldly and deeply personal. Tuscany offered the perfect blend of natural beauty, historic charm, and culinary richness. Starting in Florence with a welcome dinner in a fresco-covered palace—every inch a masterpiece—guests were then swept into the countryside for a weekend that unfolded like a novel. Borgo Finocchieto, a private medieval hamlet turned estate, became the backdrop for connection, joy, and unforgettable beauty.
Gathered Here
Fifty guests gathered at Borgo Finocchieto, where the cobblestone paths and soaring cypress trees set the tone for slow mornings and meaningful conversations. Each suite, unique and filled with character, opened onto views of rolling hills and terracotta rooftops. The estate offered room to roam, yet intimacy to connect—from espresso chats in Cab 6 at dawn to sunset aperitivos by the fountain.
Savor the Celebration
The wedding dinner was a garden dream: candlelight flickering against soft blue textiles, floral arrangements bursting with white blooms and green textures, and menus made from rice paper—each one bearing a sketch of the borgo and a handwritten note from the bride’s parents. The menu paid homage to the region with Asparagus salad with parmesan flakes and toasted pine nuts, handmade cacio e pepe, and grilled fish—all paired with wines from nearby estates. Music drifted into the night as guests danced beneath the stars, the laughter as full-bodied as the Brunello.
Feel It Still
This wasn’t just a celebration—it was an immersion. From that first breath-stealing moment in Florence to quiet breakfasts under ivy-covered pergolas, guests felt the couple’s gratitude woven through every detail. The morning after the wedding, a casual brunch brought everyone back together—hair tousled, hearts full. Laughter, stories, espresso, and one last toast to love.
The Morari Detail
The rice paper menus were more than functional—they were keepsakes. Designed with intention, they featured an artist’s sketch of the borgo on the cover and a touching message from the bride’s parents inside. It set the tone for the evening: personal, heartfelt, and filled with depth. Guests tucked them into bags like postcards from a weekend they’d never want to leave.
A Keepsake of the Weekend
There’s a moment that lingers: the couple standing hand-in-hand, surrounded by candles and the people who know them best, the estate glowing behind them, Tuscany stretching out like a dream. That stillness. That magic. That sense that love, when celebrated with such beauty and intention, can echo forever.
