When the elegance of a Greek bride meets the fiery charm of an Italian groom, and both choose Lake Como as the backdrop for their wedding — the result is a celebration that’s both timeless and wildly romantic. Anastasia and Nikola’s destination wedding was filled with soul, style, and cinematic beauty.
Villa Balbiano, one of the most iconic wedding venues on Lake Como, set the stage for the intimate and emotional ceremony. With lush greenery, classical architecture, and the lake’s shimmer just beyond, it was a scene that could rival any movie.
Anastasia wore a custom-tailored gown by @orsibakacsbridal, radiating effortless elegance, while Nikola looked sharp in his tailored suit by @maennersache.fritzlar.
Their love was framed by a dreamy floral palette of white, green, and soft blue, created by @kate.s_design — echoing the stationery design by @byviolali, the elegance of historic @VillaBalbiano and the lake’s natural tones.
Anastastia & Nicola
After the “I do’s,” the couple took a wooden boat ride across Lake Como, courtesy of @lakecomo_boat. With the sun beginning to dip, the ride was peaceful, cinematic, and full of laughter — the perfect transition into the evening.
Arriving at Villa Geno, guests were welcomed into an elegant garden setup with candlelit S-shaped tables, cozy lounge corners and views of the lake. The dinner was full of heartfelt speeches, delicious Italian food, and an indulgent mousse au chocolat for dessert.
During sunset a colorful firework show lit up the sky — a surprise highlight that left everyone speechless. The party continued under the stars with beats by @st3veodj, while the bride and groom danced the night away.
Anastasia & Nikola said “I do” in the most iconic setting you can imagine — and YES, it was as cinematic as it sounds.
Every frame of your wedding should tell a story of elegance, fun, and authenticity — let me capture your one of a kind wedding day in true-to-life tones and dreamy light.
