A Romantic Tuscan-Inspired Wedding in Czech Republic

Set against the romantic backdrop of a medieval Savoia Castle in Czech Republic, Ivan and Jamilya’s wedding was a breathtaking celebration of love, artful details, heartfelt traditions, and timeless elegance. This intimate event, inspired by the charm of Tuscan weddings, was a dream come true for the couple, surrounded by 40 of their closest family and friends.

Location: Škvorec, Czech Republic
Style: Tuscany-inspired, classic, romantic
Time of planning: 8 months
Number of guests: 40
Setting: Castle
Season: Summer

Ivan and Jamilya’s journey started in the enchanting city of Prague, where they both reside. Their first encounter took place at the Alphonse Mucha Art Exhibition. Ivan and Jamilya bonded over their love for art, and every moment since has deepened that connection. The proposal in Vienna’s historic Restaurant Clementine im Glashaus was equally magical, making it the perfect start to their next chapter: building a family together.

Bridal Morning

The bride’s wedding look was inspired by a timeless, princess-like elegance. She wore a stunning classical ballgown silhouette with a touch of sparkle, embodying a fairytale charm. Her fragrance of choice was Tom Ford’s Lost Cherry, adding a sweet and sophisticated scent to her ensemble.

"The bride felt like a true princess, radiating joy and elegance on her special day."

Her hairstyle was a graceful half-updo, perfectly complementing her look. The bouquet was a delicate arrangement of white and pastel flowers, creating a weightless volume that added to the ethereal feel of her appearance.

Every detail, from her makeup to her accessories, was chosen to enhance her natural beauty and reflect her style.

Groom's Fashion

Ivan’s choice for his wedding attire was a double-breasted suit, chosen to complement his physique perfectly. Every detail was meticulously thought out, from the boutonniere that matched Jamilya’s bouquet to the understated accessories that complemented his sophisticated style. He felt confident and dashing, prepared to step into the next chapter of his life.

Ceremony

The ceremony took place in a picturesque alley between the castle and a lush garden. The aisle was framed by a stunning floral arch decorated with soft blooms in shades of white, cream, and blush, interwoven with lush green. Delicate peonies and roses created a natural yet refined backdrop that sets the tone for a deeply emotional ceremony.

“We chose a classical style for the ceremony, led by our gracious host,” shared the bride. Ivan and Jamilya were accompanied by their parents, and the groom’s nephew proudly served as the ring bearer. A string quartet, Esferas Kvarteto, provided a timeless atmosphere, performing classical compositions that highlighted each memorable moment.

"Despite seeing each other every day, this moment felt profoundly different, making us relive our entire journey together in just a few seconds."

They exchanged vows surrounded by their loved ones, creating a moment as intimate as it was beautiful. Their promises to each other, heartfelt and sincere, left not a single dry eye among the guests. “Our guests were deeply moved by the ceremony, appreciating the blend of tradition and personal touches,” shared the bride. 

Private Moment

Following the ceremony, the newlyweds took a private walk around the castle grounds, allowing themselves a few quiet moments together. It was a chance to soak in the day’s emotions and share the joy of becoming husband and wife. 

Their photographer, Vitalie Varvarynets, captured these intimate moments in various enchanting locations around the castle. Through his lens, he immortalized the magic of their love, creating a timeless collection of images that reflected the depth of their connection and the romance of the day. Each photo felt like a piece of their fairytale, preserving the emotions and beauty of the celebration.

Decor & Setting

Inspired by the elegance of Tuscan weddings, the decor by Cool Flowers was minimalistic yet harmonious with the natural beauty of the castle grounds. The color palette featured shades of olive, yellow, and champagne, evoking the warmth of a summer day. The tables were decorated with delicate citrus, little candles, and floral arrangements, creating a soft, romantic ambiance that complemented the surrounding greenery.

"We took on the planning ourselves, without the help of agencies, meticulously selecting the perfect venue, personnel, and style."

Reception

The reception took place by a peaceful pond at the foot of the Savoia Castle, where guests were welcomed with a traditional bread-and-salt ceremony. This touching tradition, deeply rooted in their cultural heritage, added a personal and heartfelt touch to the festivities.

Once seated, guests enjoyed a lively evening filled with classical music, jazz performances by The Brownies, and a vibrant DJ set. Ivan and Jamilya’s first dance was a waltz to a song from La La Land, adding a cinematic touch to the celebration. Vitalie Varvarynets skillfully captured every fleeting emotion and meaningful glance throughout the day with stunning cinematic style, ensuring that each cherished moment would be preserved.

The cake from Krakhmalnikov Brothers was a two-tiered masterpiece inspired by Tuscan elegance, decorated with soft pastel flowers that matched the wedding’s color palette. Its delicate layers, with fruity flavors, were a delight to the guests. For the younger guests, there was a special dessert table with treats and sweets.

Each guest gave a heartfelt toast, with a special surprise from the groom’s mother — a touching movie about his childhood.

"Every aspect of our wedding day was uniquely special to us. From the early preparations and the emotions we felt before the ceremony, to the overwhelming love and attention from our guests, each moment was unforgettable."

Advice from the couple:

Always keep in mind the true purpose of your wedding and the emotions driving you forward.

Support each other in your decisions and don’t get discouraged if things don’t go exactly as planned. The most important goal is to be together and share your love, regardless of the decorations or any other details.
