Lake Como is a world-class wedding destination for a reason. The natural beauty paired with the rich history of the lakeside villas is as picturesque as it gets for a wedding backdrop.

In the quaint lake-side village of Cernobbio, Villa Pizzo is the crown jewel that sits upon the shoreline. Its charming exterior complete with gardens, lake views, and old Italian architecture makes it one of the most sought after villas to get married at on the lake. In order to match the grand exterior, the interior is complete with antiques, ornate details, and sprawling murals. It’s truly straight out of a fairy tail serving as the most gorgeous backdrop for many brides on their big day.

In order to compliment this stunning Villa, a level of sophistication is to be kept in mind throughout the wedding design. This stunning wedding inspiration serves as a way to use textures and tones to provide an essence of old world elegance. The color palette consisted of creams and blacks, which is thought of to be quite simple. However when you add textures and materials such as velvets, Jamestown prints, and fresh blackberries, the simplicity of black and white is taken to the next level.

The fashion was an element that was highlighted in this wedding inspiration. The bride wore a stunning high neck gown from the Amanda James bridal collection paired with accessories with Anne Katherine Designs. For a second look, the bride had a short one shoulder gown by Sachin and Babi. It cinched at the waist and had the most fun statement bow flowing down. This look was paired with a feathery, fabulous shoes by Antonio Melani.
