Rome has a way of stealing your heart. Between the cobblestone streets, timeless architecture, and food that feels like love on a plate, it’s a city that lingers with you long after you leave.
Villa Elena
I had the wonderful opportunity to source a wedding venue for a close friend of mine called Villa Elena. Owner and Chef Freddy makes you feel right at home. Romantic and tucked away, it felt like a storybook backdrop.
Food & History
What I love about Italy is how deeply food and history are intertwined. Every meal felt like a celebration, from handmade pasta to rustic wines that told their own story. Walking through ruins one moment, and then gathering around a candlelit table the next—you can’t help but feel inspired.
Destination Wedding Dreams
As I wandered through Rome and Villa Elena, I couldn’t help but imagine future brides celebrating here. Italy is filled with inspiration for design, romantic textures, timeless architecture, and a rhythm of life that encourages slowing down and savoring the moment. It’s exactly the kind of atmosphere I dream of creating for destination weddings: personal, soulful, unforgettable.
What Stayed With Me
Rome reminded me that weddings, much like travel, are about more than beautiful spaces. They’re about connection, story, and experience. And Villa Elena was the perfect reminder of how magical it can be when all of those things come together.
