From Sketch to Reality – Maxime & Marie Laure’s Modern Wedding in the Prosecco Hills

When Maxime and Marie Laure imagined their wedding, they pictured soft rolling hills, family gathered in nature, and a celebration that felt intimate, modern and deeply personal. They are both French, but his mother is originally from the Prosecco region — choosing Italy was not simply romantic, it was a way to honor their roots and share those landscapes with the people they love.

What they truly wanted was to slow down, spend time together, and make their guests feel part of something meaningful. That mission shaped every decision.

A Three-Day Wedding Experience

This wedding wasn’t just a single event. It became a three-day immersive experience in the heart of the Prosecco hills — a format that resonates with destination couples who value quality time over quantity.

The festivities opened with a welcome dinner the night before, an intimate moment with close family and friends to set the tone, a tasting experience with local products and estate-produced Prosecco, a way to connect with the region through its flavors. The wedding day unfolded between vineyards and nature, and the celebration concluded with a relaxed farewell brunch the next morning, stretching goodbyes just a little longer.

This rhythm created an emotional, family-focused atmosphere — especially meaningful for Maxime’s Italian mother, their daughters, and the close circle of relatives and friends present. With around 40 guests, everything felt intimate, thoughtful and connected.

The Venue: Elegant, Natural, Authentic

The couple chose a refined venue immersed in nature, framed by the iconic Prosecco hills. It had the elegance they wanted, without excess or ostentation, and allowed everyone to spend meaningful time together in a single place. The landscape wasn’t just a backdrop — it became part of the experience, visually and emotionally.

From Sketch to Design: Minimalism with Soul

The aesthetic reflected our signature slow luxury: modern, minimal and intentional, with great attention to materials and texture.

Everything started from the wedding suite design. With the graphic designer we sketched a concept that balanced clean, essential lines with tactile refinement. One detail that stood out was the darker textured paper, made from almond waste — a discreet, elegant nod to sustainability.

This design language flowed into the florals as well. Cement, glass and lilies set the tone: quiet elegance, no excess, and a contemporary sense of space. Minimalism, when thoughtful, has soul.

The Escort Cards Everyone Talked About

One of the most memorable elements was the escort card display. We set a round table covered in sand, with single carnations placed upright, each carrying a guest’s name and their seat number.

It worked because it was more than functional. Guests interacted with it, searched for their carnation, photographed it, and many took theirs home as a keepsake. It became a small moment of playful beauty right before dinner — and people love details that feel both poetic and personal.

Tradition Meets Modern: The Tiramisù Tower

For dessert, tradition met modernity with a Tiramisù Tower — a nod to Treviso’s iconic dessert. Served under a cascade of tiny lights, it delivered that mix of surprise, regional identity, and visual impact that perfectly aligned with the couple’s approach.

Celebration, Music & Joy

After dinner, the night flowed into dancing, laughter and long conversations. There was no rush and no rigid schedule — just a celebration that reflected who they are: understated, intentional, and centered on people rather than spectacle.

Key Takeaways for Destination Couples

Maxime and Marie Laure’s wedding shows that a destination wedding doesn’t need to be large to be meaningful. Choosing a place connected to your story, prioritizing time with guests, and considering a multi-day format can transform a wedding into an experience rather than an event. Letting the landscape guide the design instead of overpowering it, and opting for minimalism with intention, can create emotional impact without excess.

If you want your wedding to feel like a chapter of your life — not just a date on a calendar — the Prosecco hills might be the place to start.
