David and Elisa’s alfresco wedding at Lancemore Milawa celebrated love, family, and Italian heritage. Their special day featured personal touches, including chocolate-brown satin dresses, a cannoli tower, and Elisa’s nonna as the ring bearer.

The couple met on Bumble, where a swipe right sparked a deep connection. David’s picnic proposal, slightly spoiled by Elisa’s intuition, marked the start of their wedding plans. Elisa’s Raffaele Ciuca Bridal gown, with its structured bodice and full skirt, left a lasting impression on David during their private first look.

A Tuscany-Inspired Celebration in Victoria’s Wine Country

Elisa’s vision of a Tuscany-style wedding came to life in Victoria’s wine country. They chose Lancemore Milawa for its charm and worked with Curated By Olivia to realize their dream. The venue’s lush gardens and vineyard backdrop provided the perfect setting for their intimate ceremony.

Despite a brief panic when David misplaced his jacket and vows, the day proceeded smoothly. Blooms by Laura created minimalist-yet-wild floral arrangements, adding elegance to the alfresco setting. As Elisa walked down the aisle with her father, Giuseppe, to “Truly Madly Deeply” by Sidney, the couple exchanged personalized vows that moved nearly everyone to tears.

The reception honored Elisa’s Italian roots with a cannoli tower instead of a traditional wedding cake. They opted for a re-entrance to the reception, forgoing a first dance to spend more time with guests. The celebration continued late into the night, allowing them to enjoy every moment with loved ones.

David and Elisa’s wedding reflected their patience and dedication during planning. Their advice to other couples? “Patience!!!!” The result was a day filled with laughter, love, and unforgettable memories, beautifully captured by Lana of O Lemonade.

Unique touches, from the chocolate-brown satin dresses to the cannoli tower, made their wedding a true reflection of their personalities. Their childhood friends as bridal party members and their families’ positive attitude added to the joy. They cherish the warm summer night and the recovery day by the pool, a perfect end to their celebration.

Their wedding was more than a ceremony—it was a gathering of loved ones, blending tradition and personal style, and celebrating their journey from a Bumble match to a lifelong partnership. O Lemonade’s photography captured every moment, ensuring their memories last a lifetime.

She completed her look with pointed white heels, dropped pearl earrings, and a slicked-back bun, with her veil draped down her back.

The bridal party wore satin dresses in various styles, all in a stunning chocolate-brown tone, adding elegance and cohesion. David chose a classic black tuxedo from Tarocash, paired with a bow tie, matching his groomsmen for a timeless look.

Before the ceremony, they shared a private first look, a moment David called unforgettable. “I’ll never forget that moment and had goosebumps as Elisa was walking down the staircase. I will never forget my first impression of her dress—she looked so beautiful,” he recalled.

The ceremony was an intimate affair, held on the lawn under a large tree. Elisa walked down the aisle with her father, Giuseppe, to “Truly Madly Deeply” by Sidney. They exchanged personalized vows, and their celebrant, Jane, shared their story in a light-hearted yet emotional way, bringing tears to nearly everyone’s eyes.

A Celebration of Family, Friends, and Italian Heritage

One of the most special moments was Elisa’s nonna Angelina serving as the ring bearer, adding a heartfelt touch. Their childhood friends as the bridal party made the day even more memorable.

The celebration continued late into the night, and they cherished the warm summer night and the recovery day by the pool the following day.

Their photography was a highlight, with Lana’s classic and understated style aligning perfectly with their vision. David noted, “There is one of us walking, holding hands, next to the vineyard that we love. The shots of our kiss at the ceremony with confetti are amazing, too. There are too many to choose from.”
