Boticelli Inspired Wedding in Sicily at Tonnara di Scopello
Tatiana and Alvin's Dreamy Wedding in Scopello, Sicily
Tatiana and Alvin embarked on a romantic journey as they celebrated their love during a breathtaking three-day wedding in Scopello, Sicily. Inspired by Botticelli's iconic painting, Birth of Venus, their wedding seamlessly intertwined artistic inspiration with the natural beauty of the Sicilian landscape.
A Color Palette of CITRUS + A SICILIAN Sunset
The wedding decor reflected a stunning palette reminiscent of an Italian sunset, with warm hues of red, orange, pink, and golden yellow softly mingling throughout the venue. From the inviting table settings to the ambient lighting, every element was carefully curated to create an environment that mirrored the enchanting Sicilian dusk.
Unique Stationery with Astrological Details
Guests were greeted with bespoke stationery that featured astrological details relevant to Tatiana and Alvin's birth charts and also place cards with individual guest horoscopes, adding a personal touch to the wedding experience. These elements not only showcased their personalities but also set the tone for a celestial celebration.
Floral Arrangements Inspired by the Sea
The floral arrangements drew inspiration from the enchanting shapes and forms of sea creatures. Whimsical coral-inspired centerpieces and delicate seaweed-like foliage adorned the tables, while bursts of color from seasonal blooms added vibrancy to the overall aesthetic. The use of pearls and salt in the designs echoed the coastal setting, bringing an organic and chic elegance to the celebration.
Culinary Delights of Sicily
The couple embraced local flavors with a menu that showcased the rich culinary heritage of Sicily. Guests indulged in traditional dishes, featuring fresh seafood, multiple courses of hand-made pasta, and vibrant vegetables sourced locally. This gastronomic journey allowed everyone to savor the essence of Italy as they raised their glasses to the newlyweds.
Ethereal Bridal Fashion
Tatiana’s ethereal bridal fashion was an exquisite highlight of the occasion. Embellished with abundant pearls—aptly representing her middle name—her custom wedding dress by Danielle Frankel was a sight to behold. The gown, designed to evoke the beauty of a shell with a scooped back and ribbed silk, flowed gracefully as she walked, encapsulating the spirit of the ocean.
A Tribute to Cleo
A unique touch to the wedding was the homage to the couple's beloved feline companion, Cleo, who couldn't attend in person. Cleo was immortalized in a crest that featured prominently as a neon sign during the late-night rave cave—an unexpected yet charming addition to the festivities. The glowing symbol of their cherished pet became a playful nod to the couple's joyful spirit.
Tatiana and Alvin’s wedding in Scopello was a picturesque blend of art, nature, and personal meaning. From the vibrant color palette to the detailed thematic elements, every aspect was thoughtfully planned to create an unforgettable celebration of their love. The three-day event not only commemorated their union but also crafted cherished memories against the breathtaking backdrop of Sicily's coastal beauty.
