Getting married in December: wonder, enchantment and festive atmosphere
Have you decided to get married? Why wait until 2024? Getting married in December, a month full of charm and festivities, may be the ideal choice for couples who wish to organise a sophisticated and unconventional wedding, without having to deal with long and exhausting preparations.
Our historic mansion, able to offer full comfort even in the chilliest days of the year, with the arrival of the cold season is cloaked in a fairy-tale aura, amplified by the skill of the best wedding planners and flower designers. The versatility of indoor and outdoor spaces makes it possible to plan each stage of the wedding with the utmost care, taking into account the climate and the couple’s wishes.
Theme wedding: celebrating the end of autumn to delve into the magic of winter
December’s unparalleled light allows for indelible images to be fixed, amplified by the beauty of themed arrangements. In the early days of the month, the forest surrounding the Vigna Grande Estate still glows with the iridescent tones of autumn vegetation (yellow ochre, rust, bronze, purple, burgundy), perfect for creating vivid colour contrasts.
As winter approaches, the English gardens offer enchanted views, rekindled by the scarlet berries of Cotoneasters and the sparkle of Lake Bracciano. At this time of year, wedding palettes can focus on wraparound Holiday tones, total white or cool tones such as ivory and powder blue. Floral design favours scenic arrangements, to be woven with fir twigs, hypericum berries or cineraria leaves, whose silvery hues recall the dormant vegetation of snowy gardens. To create an evocative winter tale, you can opt for pure white or play with typical Christmas hues, such as forest green, ruby red and gold. Long imperial tables, to be embellished with candelabras, crystals and china, will make it possible to recreate the atmosphere of ancient aristocratic residences, while an imposing fir tree can become the centrepiece of the sugared almond reception or welcome small gifts for guests. Menus, designed by the best catering companies in the area, will be able to include winter dishes, such as soups and polenta, seasonal farm-to-table products and traditional desserts. The spacious and elegant halls, enlivened by the dancing flames of the fireplaces, will give the reception an intimate and poetic dimension, perfect for creating relaxing corners in which to enjoy aromatic teas, herbal teas, hot chocolate and mulled wine.
