The dream for our wedding was relaxed vibes with great food, fantastic wine, amazing views and beautiful people. We pretty much wanted a holiday with our nearest and dearest with a wedding thrown in the middle and that is what we have got. So here's a brief plan for our weekend....
DAY ONE - SATURDAY 14th JUNE
To kick off our three days of celebrations we will all have breakfast together at the restaurant on Saturday morning, then you are free to spend the day doing whatever makes you happy. On Saturday evening we will all get together on the lawns of Casanova Farmhouse for a Pizza Party. Because you simply can't go to Italy and not eat pizza.
EVENT - PIZZA PARTY
At Casanova Farmhouse
Starts at 6pm
Mako Pizza's (anyone who knows Wayne, knows that it's pure destiny that we crossed paths with this pizza company) will be serving bottomless pizza, made from fresh local ingredients outside our farmhouse as the sun goes down over the Tuscan hills. There will be gluten free, vegan and vegetarian options available.
If you would like a beer or an aperol spritz to go with your pizza we will be doing a booze run to the local supermarket ready for the event and will be happy to help with supplies.
DAY TWO - SUNDAY 15TH JUNE
EVENT - OUR WEDDING!
Sunday will begin with a nice lay in, coffee overlooking the vineyards and breakfast at the restaurant. You are then free to read a book by the pool, go for a walk, ride a horse or visit the spa if you fancy it before you get yourselves ready for the main event. Below is a brief timeline of events for the wedding...
3.40pm - Guests arrival
4pm - The bit where we say "I do"
4.30pm - Photos & Apertif
6pm - Dinner
9pm - Dancing & Drinking
We will be having an UNPLUGGED CEREMONY to avoid seeing phones in our official photos, so we'd like to ask you to please wait until after the ceremony to take any personal photos. Thanks in advance.
DAY THREE - MONDAY 16TH JUNE
EVENT - BRUNCH
We thought it wise to scrap breakfast and replace it with brunch the day after the wedding to let everyone sleep off the hangovers. Brunch will be served at the restaurant from 11.45am. We will then be heading back to the farmhouse to soak up the sun by the pool with anyone who wants to join us.
EVENT - BBQ
For our last hurrah we will be having a Tuscan BBQ at the restaurant at 6.30pm.
