Alchemy's marriage in The Valley of the Temples

Alchemy’s marriage of two Twin Stars: Antonia & Daren was inspired by ancient Greek Mythos and The Alchemist- a novel by Paulo Coelho 1988The Place & the Time was based on Astrological since. The Divine Couple and their twin star ceremony took place on July 2022.  After consulting a trusted astrologer, spouses have determined the perfect time and place for their wedding in the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento, Sicily, Italy!  The Valley of the Temples is an archaeological site in Agrigento (ancient Greek colony Akragas), Sicily. It is one of the most outstanding examples of ancient Greek art and architecture in Italy.

Immersed between The Greek Mythos & Earth

May I say that our wedding design and personal styling come from Mount Olympus – the abode of the Gods and the site of the throne of Zeus. Bride and groom styled outfits in gold-white satin fabrics, head-made dresses with imperial crowns, and Greek tiaras. The dress code for guests & staff totals white worked well.

A special place for Ceremony and reception

It was an ecological Pistachio Farm situated in the historical site of Valley with an amazing view to view to Greek Temples

Custom made blessing

Custom-made ceremony according to ancient Greek marriage traditions.

“Priest and Priestess” – special celebrants of the Cultural Historical Association of Akragas conducted the ceremony in a sacred place. The couple is then purified with seawater stored in a special vase of Greek Dinos.

Being water from the Ocean, and therefore primordial and sacred, it is characterized as pure owing also to its presence of salt, which symbolizes hospitality and the very birthplace of Aphrodite, the goddess of love. The five divinities convened for the marriage ceremony Zeus, Apollo, Artemis, and Aphrodite – will be called on to offer their benevolence upon the new family nucleus, which is taking shape via the hymns that will be recited by the priest for each divinity. During the priest’s invocations to the deities, there are offers of wine, seeds, and essences to the gods. Two foliate crowns, tied together by a white ribbon, are placed on the head of the spouses, to symbolize their union before the Gods.

Own composed music

The groom is a music composer and “We blend electronic and live sounds, singing, spoken meditations, and mantras to create a unique sonic experience. Each track is a microcosm of our life experience, taking you on a dance meditation journey. Each item in the brans collection is a time microcosm of the universe that draws upon the ancient tantric traditions of using an external sensory stimulus to elevate your awareness of metaphysical dimensions.

Alchemy is their debut sonic creation.  “Born from our cosmic love, passion for music, and dalliance with mysticism, Antonia and I have been creating these transformational dance tracks for a while.”

Sicilian Wedding

Real Wedding Sicily

Weddings 2022

Sicilian Wedding - Dolce Gabbana style

Isabel and Lucio fell in love in Sicily years ago and it was a natural decision to plan a destination wedding here. The bride and groom’s wish was: “We want to show the real Sicily to our international guests”.

The choice of wedding venue was the fascinating city of Taormina, rich in culture and places to discover that have been the setting for fashion shows, film festivals, and luxury events from all over the world. The wedding was truly Made in Sicily with handmade invitations, Caltagirone ceramic wedding favors, and Sicilian puppet decorations at the Sicilian Cart. Carretto Siciliano is the symbol of folklore and craftsmanship. It represents the desire and the search for the beauty of the Sicilian people, due to its nature as a practical means of transport used before for work. Today it is admired as a stunning work of art and is often used as a wedding vehicle.  These Sicilian-themed wedding ideas definitely made our big day extra special. The involvement of the bride allowed me to offer a truly studied and measured approach to planning the wedding in all the details of the ceremony and reception.

BRIDGET & VLAD

Wedding in Sicily

Weddings 2021

Real Wedding Enchanted Forest Fairy Tale

A romantic real wedding and engagement in the beautiful Italian city of art: Syracuse in Sicily.
Vlad asked Bridget to get married in front of the Cathedral-Duomo in the beautiful historical center of Ortigia and the ceremony was to be organized there. The thought of spending more than 1 year planning an international wedding in this fabulous historic Italian city like Syracuse was such an exciting prospect. Especially since a destination wedding from New York means multicultural guests from different continents. Guests came from NY, Russia, Ukraine, Colombia, and Asia. Some of them had never visited Sicily, now become one of their favorite regions of Italy.

The historic center of Ortigia proved to be perfect for an engagement and romantic wedding ceremony. In the surroundings, there are many quiet and beautiful places, various streets overlooking the sea, beaches or countryside, cellars, villas, and castles. The planning wedding inspiration contest of the Bridget & Vlad ceremony was based on their love story in Siracusa and decorations in an enchanting forest style. The Spouses and guests got an experience path in an enchanting Middle Age Castle with its ancient garden. The Wedding was vibrant, colorful, and generous with its natural beauty. How do you plan a real wedding? If you can’t wait to get married in one of the most beautiful places in Italy, you know now a new corner of paradise.

Real Wedding in Taormina Chic Vibes

Natasha & Carlo, a real wedding in Taormina on a sunny June day. Natasha is from Moscow and Carlo is from Switzerland. They meet each other in Zurich where they had been working on the same company project. They spent a vacation together and completely fell in love immersed in the beauty of Taormina and so they decided to organize an intimate wedding.

They were looking for a “Luxury event but with special Sicilian moods” and not a typical  “pink wedding”. Natasha loves Italy and Italian fashion. Russian and Swiss guests enjoyed the Michelin stars cuisine and the best pastry in Taormina. There were more champagne bottles than guests! That’s amore!

The Rustic Beach Wedding in Tonnara di Scopello

Ashley & Tyler and their rustic beach real wedding in Tonnara di Scopello on a September day. They are from the United States and their guests are from LA, New York, Rome, and Canada. The wedding days such as rehearsal dinner, wedding ceremony reception, and the fun day after the trip was amazing!

Thanks to the good weather on the first and third day of the celebration were all performed excellently. During a site visit, they completely fell in love with the Tonnara di Scopello and its beauty and so they decided to plan their intimate wedding here. The bride and groom wanted something out of the shell “elegant but rustic” and not an event as usual.

They didn’t want a hotel or a commercial resort.

Luxury Rustic Glam Wedding Event

The Real Wedding Bebè & Fabrizio was in Ragusa a pretty Sicilian town on a sunny day in September. They completely fell in love with Sicily, and its beauty and decided to have an intimate destination wedding. They wanted a natural “really elegant and rustic” ceremony.

It was a real lavish international wedding along three continents. The ceremony was planned in 3 languages, Italian, English, and Chinese. The day before the event, a welcome dinner in the middle of baroque Ragusa Ibla was arranged, and on the last day, the guest enjoyed a brunch on the sea coast. That was a fantastic Mediterranean experience for all!
