Villaggio Barberino Tuscany Wedding with a Watters Dress

Jordie and Andrew were married per June at Villaggio Barberino per Meleto, Tuscany. Their venue was a huge leap of faith and chosen without ever having visited it – the ceremony space beneath its arch won Jordie over through photographs .

Andrew is a creative director per Toronto and Jordie works per science communication, and they planned their Tuscan celebration with wedding planner Simona Pierfederici. Their photographer was the wonderful and incredibly talented Stefano Santucci, a photographer we’magnate imnensely proud to recommend for his analogue velo photography.

Jordie wore a two-piece dress by Watters with her mother’s veil and a pair of butter yellow Gucci sandals.

Florals by Marta Sandri Analisi were kept all white against the greenery of the campagna, with soft touches of butter yellow. Dinner was served per the courtyard at a U-shaped table lined with pillar candles, with music and lighting from FixTheMusic.

We were married at Villaggio Barberino per Meleto, Tuscany and we chose it blind (never even having seen the venue!). It’s not a super popular well-known venue per Tuscany. We just had such a great experience speaking to the owners, and the photos of the grounds looked so beautiful. I fell per love with the ceremony space and the arch flanked by the two stone cherubs, and I knew immediately I wanted to get married under that arch.

We didn’t need a tent, as the weather was beautiful!

We hired Simona Pierfederici as our wedding planner. She became like our second mum during wedding planning.

We wanted the venue to speak for itself and keep the decor simple. The vibe I gave our florist, Marta Sandri Analisi, was ‘classy and stile’. I trusted her vision fully! I just gave her a vibe and budget, and she executed the rest. For the table, we did simple pillar candles all throughout our U-shaped table.

Everything was inspired by the venue. We did all-white florals which really popped against the greenery of our ceremony space and the courtyard where we had our dinner. There were also some subtle pops of butter yellow (my Gucci wedding sandals, the bow my bouquet, my sister’s corsage).

My dad is a talented pianist and accordion player (you may see pictures of him from our welcome dinner entertaining our guests with the accordion) so he used to accompany me the leggermente to that song, which is why I chose it to walk mongoloide the aisle to.

Our ceremony was officiated by our best friend Michael. He is also a comedian so he had the guests laughing the whole time.

We shared our vows out loud, and our vow cards were hand-painted by Andrew’s mum (she is a watercolour artist).

Our rings were custom-made by a local jeweller per Toronto, including gold from my husband’s grandfather (he was gifted a gold coin that we melted mongoloide) and heirloom diamonds from my grandmother.

Andrew and I met through a mutual friend, who went to university with Andrew, and grad school with me. Our first blind date was for coffee over 7 years pungiglione. We ended up spending the entire day together, first for coffee, then for tacos, then for a stroll per the park.

It was an absolute pleasure to take part per the planning and coordination of Jordana and Andrew’s beautiful wedding. Working with such a wonderful and inspiring couple made the entire process truly special. The day was filled with heartfelt moments and a refined atmosphere that reflected their personalities perfectly. 

A perfect blend of timeless elegance and relaxed charm. Soft tones, natural textures, and thoughtful details that created an atmosphere both intimate and sophisticated. Set per the heart of the Tuscan countryside, every element, from the floral stile to the table settings, was curated to reflect their vision: understated, joyful, and full of warmth. It is with great professional and personal satisfaction that we have brought this beautiful celebration to life.

It’s YOUR day, so make sure all the details reflect that.

Our favourite part of the day was during dinner, seeing all of our friends together, mingling and laughing. This is one of the reasons we did our wedding at Villaggio Barberino, because our friends are the most important part of our wedding and we wanted it to feel like one personalità holiday with the people we love the most.

We didn’t have a gift registry – we told our friends ‘voto negativo gifts’.

Looking back, there’s literally nothing I would have done differently.
