As a tribute to the highly anticipated wedding of the year I thought I would reflect on the wonderfully magical city of Venice after my first time there earlier this year for Flora & Carlo’s styled bridal shoot. It’s not surprising that George Clooney & Amal Alamuddin chose Venice for their nuptials, it is undeniably the most mesmerising city I have ever visited! Known as the floating city, the surreal like lagoon separated by its many bridges and canals is steeped in so much beauty, architecture and art, it’s not difficult to see why the silver fox and his stunning and enormously talented bride would choose such a location. We were lucky enough to get a glimpse into the couples special day as George and Amal agreed to sell their photos to the highest bidder with the proceeds going to a human rights charity. I love it when celebrities use their status to raise money for charity and are willing to give us a glimpse into one of the most important and special days of their lives for the cause. The intimate ceremony took place at the £3000 per night Aman Canal Grande a 16th Century Palazzo situated on the canal. The palazzo is not dissimilar to the Ca’Sagredo hotel, also a palazzo dating back to the 18th Century and the location for Flora & Carlo’s inspiration session I shot in April with Weddings In Italy. Amal’s Oscar de la Renta gown was to die for and I’m pretty sure there was no expense spared when it came to planning the finer details. Check out some of the images from Flora and Carlo’s shoot and if you are inspired by them and dream of your very own George and Amal style wedding one day then please get in touch. We still have some available dates for destination weddings next year…Ti amo x
