A conscious, strategic choice—rich in aesthetic potential.
Meghan e Pranav
Meghan and Pranav are both physicians based in Chicago. When they began envisioning their wedding, they wanted it to reflect their personal story and multicultural roots. Their wedding was thoughtfully designed to merge both cultural identities. From symbolic rituals to multiple outfit changes, every moment was crafted to celebrate their love with friends and family from around the globe. The result was a destination wedding in Florence that felt intimate, personal, and genuinely meaningful—crafted with care, but never overstated.
Villa di Lilliano: the perfect setting for an Autumn Wedding in Florence
Meghan and Pranav fell in love with Villa di Lilliano at first sight. Nestled in the Chianti hills just minutes from central Florence, this historic Medicean villa blends Tuscan nature with timeless elegance. Surrounded by vineyards, cypress trees, and rolling hills, the villa provided a private and breathtaking backdrop. Although they had not initially settled on a date, the beauty of the location led them to choose a November celebration. The day turned out beautifully, with a heartfelt ceremony held in the villa’s historic grotto and a relaxed cocktail hour outdoors. The event was beautifully captured by Sofia Balli Wedding Studio, whose refined photographic style highlighted the natural light and understated elegance of the setting.
La limonaia: un’elegante tavolozza d’autunno
The reception took place in the villa’s limonaia, a light-filled, adaptable space ideal for a fall celebration. Meghan and Pranav chose to embrace the season with subtlety and sophistication, turning to Giorgia Carolini for floral design. Seasonal fruits, foliage, and warm-toned florals came together in a romantic, textured composition. The tablescape, curated by the team at Blanc Weddings, blended ivory, blush, and soft burgundy for a refined yet welcoming aesthetic. Every detail—from the candlelight to the centerpieces—was intentionally designed to capture the richness of autumn without overpowering the natural charm of the space.
A taste of tuscany with a bespoke experience
The culinary experience was entrusted to Galateo Catering, one of Tuscany’s most respected names in high-end wedding cuisine. Known for their precision and quality, Galateo curated a menu that showcased seasonal ingredients with an international flair, tailored to the couple’s preferences. The reception concluded with their signature millefoglie wedding cake, a delicate dessert layered with fresh fruit and Chantilly cream, assembled live by the couple themselves. This interactive, theatrical moment was a highlight of the evening—elegant yet personal. The impeccable service and attention to detail ensured the dinner reflected the same refined and relaxed atmosphere that defined the day.
