Idyllic Château Styled Wedding and Intimate Al Fresco Reception Dinner at Villa Bellezza
featured wedding dress designer
Pepin, Wisconsin. Bordering the natural beauty of the Mississippi River and famous for its ties to Laura Ingalls Wilder, this charming town on the shores of Lake Pepin is practically a prairie wedding dream. With grassy fields, wondrous wildflowers, and winding wine trails this idyllic château styled wedding at Villa Bellezza was anything but ordinary. Raise your glass of red, white, or rosé and settle in for some seriously sophisticated winery wedding inspiration.
Much like the magical gardens and grounds surrounding this vineyard villa wedding styled shoot, ‘Maeve’ by Monique Lhuillier leaves a subtle hint of refinement and poise. With a pleasant scoop neckline and statement hand appliquéd floral lace expertly placed throughout the ball gown silhouette, this bridal look is timeless. Adding to this beautiful Monique Lhuillier ball gown, the addition of ‘Maeve Jacket’ allows for ample visual interest and romance. This tulle sleeve wedding jacket with matching floral lace creates the look of a seamless long sleeve wedding dress and fashions a keyhole back cutout. Though this lace topper is worn in every shot of this elegant Wisconsin estate wedding, the gown is equally as enchanting when the delicate bridal jacket is removed.
Florals were not only prominently displayed on this luxury designer wedding dress, but also in the simplistic wedding decor. A small yellow bridal bouquet added a bright pop of color as did the thin stemmed wine glass full of vino. Entering their Midwest castle wedding ceremony venue by grand wooden arched doors adorned in a breathtaking baby’s breath installation, these photos are a few of our favorites. Steps away from the manor, a splendid al fresco wedding dinner design takes center stage. Toasting with silver coupes among a banquet table full of cheeses, breads, and green grapes, this vintage-inspired outdoor styled wedding soirée is full of effortless elegance and extravagant bridal details.
