Hi guys all right? Who can guess the topic of today’s post? kkkk… Or rather, who doesn’t guess, right? Was there anything else this week other than Lala Rudge ‘s baphonic destination wedding in Italy ? I mean Lala Rudge Khouri now that she’s married Bruno Khouri. I’m still pissed off about this marriage. It moves the whole world – and it’s no understatement, because I’ve received messages from all my friends and clients in the wedding market around the world asking about this bride, who rocked her beauty and elegance.
The wedding took place in my beloved Firenze, Italy, in the wonderful Villa I Collazzi , built in 1560. For those who don’t know, the villa is located on a hill south of Florence, overlooking the city’s famous Duomo. The mansion is one of the great architectural achievements of Santi di Tito, the 16th-century Mannerist master and student of Michelangelo Buonarroti. It’s breathtaking, as are the incredibly manicured gardens.
But back to the wedding and the bride and groom, who were stunning, let’s talk about Lala Rudge’s look. Lala was lovely . I looked and remembered the series of royalty, I was drooling for hours, days. The dress was by Maison Valentino , signed by the brand’s own stylist Pierpaolo Piccioli. It had a tulle cape with lace flower applications and pearl and crystal embroidery . An image that will stay in my memory forever! At the party, Lala took off her cape and let her hair down to enjoy more. And speaking of hair, it’s worth mentioning the beauty, which was stunning and her face. And to make the beauty even more familiar, she finished off the ceremony bun with pieces designed by her sister-in-law, the groom’s sister.
Bruno was wearing summer, which is a tuxedo with a white/off-white blazer. In fact, this was the “official” attire of the day for the guests . All very elegant, by the way! Lala and Bruno got dressed at Four Seasons Firenze , which I’ve already talked about here on the blog . A wonderful hotel, perfect for accommodating family and friends (when the wedding is not taking place at the hotel itself). And taking advantage of the fact that we are talking about hotels, Lala and Bruno received their guests in style. They prepared a welcome gift with a Richard Ginori porcelain plate, the couple’s favorite tomato sauce, which is from the DaVittorio restaurant, and a handwritten card!
The wedding actually took place outdoors , around 7pm, in the property’s garden. The altar was charming with the arch of roses in various shades . On the way to the nave, the decorators used arrangements with the same flowers as the altar arch + hydrangeas . The composition also went to the party, set up in a tent also in the garden. On each table, mini arrangements with the flowers chosen by the couple on a white lace tablecloth.
After the ceremony, Lala and Bruno took advantage of the exuberant sunset in Italy (one of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen) to take pictures of the couple . If there’s a better way to keep this day forever, I don’t know. Photos after the ceremony are mandatory girls. I know you guys want to go to the party soon, but you have to. It is an eternal memory of the wedding.
The party was lively and lasted until the wee hours. Now, for me, one of the most incredible moments of the party was the first dance, to the sound of Andrea Bocelli IN PERSON! Really, I think I’ll die if I go to a wedding that has him singing. lol… I’m a big fan!
AFTER PARTY
If the pre-wedding event and the wonderful big day weren’t enough, the couple even prepared a real masked ball to end the trip. Lala Rudge , who never tires of shocking people with beautiful productions, enchanted everyone in a wonderful black and gold Dolce & Gabbana dress with a tulle cape. To finish the look, she still wore a kind of golden helmet all studded and embroidered gloves. Incredible!
So, what did you think of this wedding? Or best wedding of the year (so far)? I still can’t get over so much beauty and good choices. Last! I wish the couple all the happiness!
See you next week,
Simone!
