It’s in the heart of the Tuscan hills that Indian tradition found a new home, giving life to a destination wedding that united two cultures in a dreamlike destination wedding Italy.
Several elements make Tuscany the perfect place to bring the magic of a true Indian wedding to life:
The Florentine hills are ideal for guests coming from abroad: easy to reach thanks to Bologna and Florence’s airports and train stations, making it simple to bring people together from all over the world;
Both Indian ceremonies and Tuscan venues enhance evocative settings: hills, gardens, sunsets, and breathtaking views. Both cultures regard marriage as a sacred, deeply symbolic passage, and the choice of venue becomes an integral part of the rite, amplifying its meaning.
Like royal palaces in India, Tuscany’s historic estates add an aura of nobility and history to the celebration. Most Tuscan venues, being private villas, offer distinct areas to create different experiences, all fully customizable to the couple’s tastes and requests.
Vibrant Indian hues and floral designs pair beautifully with the rustic elegance and warm tones of Tuscan villas and villages.
Both cultures love to welcome guests with abundance, conviviality, and richly flavored dishes. For Bindya and Shawn’s Indian wedding, choosing a private villa nestled in the Tuscan hills made it easy for guests to stay together and allowed for authentic Indian catering.
Indian weddings often include natural, symbolic elements that blend seamlessly with the outdoor spaces typical of Tuscan venues.
With the help of the Brilliant Events team, bringing all these elements together will be a breeze!
Bindya and Shawn were looking for a place that could seamlessly weave Indian traditions and culture together with Italy’s most authentic experiences, that’s why they chose Villa di Striano, a historic residence nestled among the Florentine hills. Its gardens, panoramic terrace, and elegant indoor rooms ensured maximum comfort across both days of their Indian wedding.
Every moment, from getting ready, to the ceremony, to the Bollywood-style party, was planned to honor the wishes of the couple and their guests.
Bindya and Shawn had a crystal-clear vision. From the United States, they chose to fly to Italy to celebrate their Indian wedding in Tuscany with their closest loved ones.
With a local wedding planning support, we turned the couple’s wishes into an Indian wedding crafted down to the last detail.
The couple expressed their wish to celebrate the wedding in accordance with Indian tradition, surrounded by their loved ones, without giving up the unique atmosphere and culture of Tuscany.
For Bindya, Shawn, and their guests, the expert wedding planners on the Brilliant Events team planned a tailor-made wedding that made them feel at home while immersing them in Italian culture.
To honor their Indian traditions in Italy, Bindya and Shawn decided to include key elements of their culture on the day before the Hindu celebration, so that their guests would feel at home in Tuscany. For this reason, with the help of the Brilliant Events’ team they organized:
The first day of celebrations began with the Haldi, the turmeric ceremony, a tradition in Indian weddings where a turmeric-based paste is applied to the couple by family members to bless them.
Next came the Mehndi, a quintessential Indian ritual involving intricate temporary henna designs on the bride’s hands and feet.
For this part of the day, we selected and coordinated two specialist artists, experts in bridal mehndi and attentive to the wishes of both the bride and the guests.
By the end of the day, they chose to weave in some Italian tradition by organizing…
To end the first day of festivities on a high note, we wanted the couple and their guests to experience a classic Italian evening: a true Pizza Party with a live wood-fired oven.
For dinner, the tables were styled with checkered tablecloths and centerpieces of tomatoes and fresh Italian aromatic herbs.
At long last, the much-awaited day has arrived, and an excited Bindya and Shawn are getting ready for one of the most important days of their lives:
For hair and makeup, we selected seasoned professionals specializing in Indian bridal beauty. They carefully listened to the bride’s wishes to create a fully Indian-inspired look, customized to enhance her features, reflect the event’s style and colors, and ensure flawless hold throughout the day.
Bindya and Shawn had their couple’s photos taken before the wedding in the beautiful spaces of Villa di Striano. The arches of the quintessential Tuscan villa and the Florentine hills framed the couple, harmonizing the hues of their traditional Indian attire with Tuscany’s warm tones.
The ceremony took place on the villa’s stunning panoramic terrace overlooking the hills.
The rite was held beneath a mandap adorned with exquisite floral décor with the assistance of an Indian priest.
The couple entered dancing with their family, exchanged the traditional garlands, and the ceremony continued with the bride and groom seated on low chairs and barefoot, in keeping with Indian custom.
Inside the villa, after the ceremony, dinner took shape on wooden tables adorned with olive and eucalyptus runners; candlelight wrapped the room in a warm, intimate glow. The country-chic style chosen by the couple, and brought to life through our coordination, recreated a natural, welcoming Tuscan ambiance in the dining room, while dinner was served buffet-style with traditional Indian dishes.
In the villa’s outdoor courtyard, the after-dinner party came to life in true Bollywood fashion.
To entertain and keep the couple and their guests dancing all evening, the Indian Dj fully drew guests into the Indian atmosphere.
The meeting of Indian tradition and Italian hospitality made for two emotion-filled days, giving life to a unique and special destination wedding in Italy.
Thanks to the Brilliant Events team, Bindya and Shawn made their dream Indian wedding in Tuscany come true, and with great affection, this is their feedback:
For their Indian wedding, Bindya and Shawn chose Villa di Striano, but there are many other breathtaking venues perfect for an unforgettable wedding in Tuscany, such as stunning castles in the heart of Chianti, charming medieval villages, or suggestive terraces with Duomo views in the center of Florence.
