There's something truly timeless and magical about Rome — the Eternal City — that makes it one of the most unforgettable destinations for weddings. From historic piazzas and elegant villas to romantic hidden courtyards, Rome offers a breathtaking backdrop for your most special day.
Recently, we had the pleasure of creating a spring-inspired wedding setup at one of the dreamiest locations in the heart of the city — the fabulous Hotel De La Ville, located just steps away from the world-famous Spanish Steps (Scalinata di Spagna).
Let me take you through some of the unforgettable highlights from this extraordinary celebration!

A Perfect Start at Hotel De La Ville
Perched above the Spanish Steps, Hotel De La Ville seamlessly blends contemporary elegance with the rich history of Rome. This sophisticated hotel, with its lush terraces, vibrant interiors, and sweeping views, offers an ideal setting for intimate ceremonies and stylish receptions.
Both indoors and outdoors, the hotel exudes undeniable charm, from its luxurious suites to its stunning views over the rooftops of Rome and Vatican City.
Our bride and groom prepared for their day in the hotel's spacious suites, each featuring a private terrace — a perfect space to relax, reflect, and soak in the breathtaking scenery.



The groom wore a classic Armani tuxedo accented with a stylish Gucci bowtie, while the radiant bride stunned in a signature gown by Justin Alexander, along with a flowing veil and sparkling Damiani earrings. Their elegant wedding bands, also by Damiani, perfectly complemented their timeless looks.






Iconic Stroll at the Spanish Steps
Before the ceremony, the bride and groom ventured into the Roman streets for the First Look and a brief photo session, with a special stop at the legendary Spanish Steps.





The talented photographer Michael Zennaro and the exceptional videography team from Capri Creators captured every magical moment — the couple walking hand-in-hand across the marble steps, the sunlight painting the city gold, and the timeless beauty of Rome serving as the perfect backdrop.


Few places in the world offer such a sense of history, artistry, and romance — the Spanish Steps truly elevated the wedding story to a new level of magic.


Ceremony in Sala Ivy
We selected the enchanting Sala Ivy for the ceremony, whose walls are beautifully designed to resemble an ivy-clad garden. The room created a soft, romantic atmosphere, ideal for exchanging vows.
The ceremony arch was adorned with a delicate and fresh arrangement of garden roses, tulips, hellebores, ranunculus, and lush greenery — an exquisite design by floral artists Alberto Menegardi and Luca Minelli.

The bride and her maid of honor carried beautiful bouquets of hellebores, perfectly matching the ethereal spring theme.



Adding a touch of artistry, live painter Aldo Sachetti captured charming sketches of the ceremony unfolding, while the lovely officiant Ally Moroni conducted a heartfelt and joyful ceremony that left guests touched and inspired.







Some fun pictures were taken during the cocktail hour on the terrace, which was adorned with flowers.



Dinner Celebration and Cake Cutting at Ginori
Back inside the hotel, an exquisite multi-course Italian dinner awaited the couple and their guests. It was set in a romantic ambiance of soft flowers, flickering candlelight, and a warm Roman evening.



For the cake cutting, the newlyweds chose the charming, picturesque café Ginori, located within the Hotel de la Ville.


Their stunning bespoke cake was created by the renowned Roman pastry chef Irene (Cakes by Irene), blending beauty and deliciousness in every detail.
For this festive moment, the bride changed into a playful short dress by Sofia Provera Atelier — the perfect choice for celebrating and dancing late into the night.

The festivities continued with cocktails and laughter at the hotel's luxurious bar, ending a day filled with beauty, love, and pure Roman romance.






A Dream Wedding Brought to Life
This celebration at Hotel De La Ville perfectly captured the spirit of a Roman wedding — stylish, intimate, and unforgettable. Every detail, from the bespoke stationery to the sun-drenched terraces and historic streets of Rome, contributed to a day full of joy, elegance, and memories that will last a lifetime.


If you dream of a wedding in the Eternal City, I would be delighted to help bring your vision to life.
