Short note:

In 2011 Elena founded ITALIAN WEDDING DESIGNER as her way to do the things she loves: planning, visiting beautiful places, working with people from all over the world,  discovering new cultures and overlooking every detail with passion.

Long note:

Elena was born and raised in Tuscany, 20 kms from Florence.

She lives in Tuscany countryside with her partner, her daughter and their dog. 

She loves cooking, gardening and interior design, but most of all she loves to travel, and her suitcase is always ready.

She studied Event management at university and in 2003 she started to work as Press agent for theatre and cinema.

She began her carrier in destination weddings in 2007, as event manager in a well known Villa in Florence countryside.

During this period she understood that planning destination wedding was her thing, also being able to work with the best wedding planners gave her the chance to learn and practice the importance of details, empathy towards clients and most of all she really felt excited of creating a unique and unforgettable experience for the couples and all the guests.

Short note: 

Graduated in 2008 in Graphic design Silvia has always been fascinated by decor and set up details. She was introduced to wedding planing by Elena, and after her first wedding coordination she was sold.

Long Note:

Silvia was born 20km away from Florence, but she likes to say she is from Florence.

She would love to live on the mountains, her favorite vacation spot together with small islands, but she would miss being able to easily reach Florence.

English speaking since a young age, she has always been curious and intrigued by foreign cultures and costumes.

Growing up she decided to study interior design and along the way she switched to graphic design. 

She worked as fashion and textile buyer for a Hong Kong company before being employed by a communication agency, as graphic designer and photo stylist.

In 2011 when her friend Elena asked to join the wedding business she decided to give it a try. 

Working backstage, making sure that everything runs smooth and that all the set up details are on point, as well as meeting people from all over the world, are the main reasons why she loves destination wedding planning.

Her favorite part of a wedding day are the entrance of the bride, the speeches and the dancing. 

She loves to see people having a good time and she often feels nostalgic as soon as they leave and the party is over.
