Hotel de Russie Wedding in Rome

Italy

Nestled within the City of Seven Hills, Hotel de Russie provides its couples & their guests with a lavish wedding experience. The grounds of the hotel are an oasis of verdant greenery that provides access to a secret garden. Here, unforgettable views of fragrant citrus trees are accented by rows of mature pines & towering palms. The intimate, inspirational wedding day shoot experience featured below took place on the hotel’s terrace. In this space, a sit-down dinner was carefully curated with organic tones. To offset the natural feeling of the setting, muted hues of pink & lavender added a touch of whimsy. I worked to capture each beautifully exquisite moment through the artistic medium of film photography.

Beautiful, hand-selected blooms were shaped into elegant tabletop arrangements. Unquestionably bringing an aspirational wedding reception vision to life. Across the table, long taper candles created a warm and inviting atmosphere that beckoned guests to take their place at individually curated settings. Custom embroidered napkins, floral ceramic dinner plates, and a dinner menu accented by a festive tassel detail awaited. Each and every detail placed with the greatest of care, in anticipation of a reception celebration.

A bespoke wedding day experience awaits at the Hotel de Russie in Rome.

Set among the flourishing topiaries and sprawled against the stone terrace, the inspirational dinner reception also included the addition of floor floral arrangements. Adding to the rich and lush feel of a romantic secret garden wedding day, floor-height floral arrangements created an overall immersive feeling, enhancing the underlying tone of the day. Guest seating was selected in a muted tone of basil green. Undoubtedly adding a final finishing touch to the wedding reception setup at Hotel de Russie. All in all, creating an impeccably detailed secret garden wedding concept.

To the avid daydreamer, thoughts of Rome may evoke images of traipsing through the foot traffic of the cobblestone piazzas in search of gelato. Or perhaps you envision the energy of a Vespa. Weaving carefully around the streets, taking in the views of the city’s timeless, historic beauty. Our Hotel de Russie wedding photoshoot was just minutes away from the Spanish Steps. The bride and groom embarked on a tour of the piazzas surrounding the famed stone stairway which was built in 1726. With her bouquet in hand, the bride climbed onto the back of a Vespa. She held on tight while immersed in the enchanting streets of Rome.

Adding another layer of whimsy to this inspirational wedding experience in Rome, the bride and groom also hopped into a quintessential Fiat Cinquecento. With the top down, the diminutive, highly recognizable vehicle proved to be the ideal size to hold the billowing layers of the bride’s fashion-forward gown. Unmistakably filled with joy, and surrounded by idyllic sights this once-in-a-lifetime wedding experience in Rome is perfect for any couple planning a wedding in Italy.
