Elegant Villa Carlotta Wedding on Lake Como, Italy

March 8, 2026

Set against the historic gardens and frescoed halls of Villa Carlotta, this romantic Lake Como destination elopement blended timeless Italian elegance with modern style. The couple exchanged vows surrounded by the beauty of the lake and the villa’s iconic gardens before exploring the property for portraits among grand architecture and lush florals. Later, they boarded a classic wooden boat for golden-hour portraits across Lake Como before ending the night the most Italian way possible – wandering through Menaggio for late-night wine and pizza.
