Wedding in the Hills of Florence


From a glamorous dinner beneath the stars to a dance floor alive with energy, this reception at Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild was a feast for every sense. Layers of pink and white florals, candlelit tables, extraordinary entertainment, and a celebration that carried on beneath the moonlightโ€”before a spectacular fireworks show illuminated the French Riviera for the perfect grand finale. Romantic, vibrant, and fabulously unforgettable. โœจ

The hours before โ€œI doโ€ are where the magic truly begins. Behind the scenes at Villa Ephrussi, a million moving pieces come togetherโ€”every flower, chair, detail, and finishing touch thoughtfully placed to create one unforgettable ceremony. It takes an extraordinary team, a shared vision, and a little bit of magic to transform a dream into a moment that will last forever... on a very VERY hot summers day. โœจ

An inviting welcome to an unforgettable weekend at The Maybourne Riviera in Monaco. Vibrant blues and happy oranges captured the essence of the pool deck, while fabulous food stations and a lively DJ set the tone for the celebrations to come. And, of course, nothing could compete with the most spectacular view of Monaco. โœจ

No matter whatโ€™s on the floor plan, once I step onto the job site, Iโ€™m always looking for opportunities to make it flow better. The floor plan ensures we have all the components, every piece of furniture, and everything we need to tell the story โ€”but the space always reveals new opportunities. A little more distance between food stations, an unexpected column, or a shift that improves the sight lines and energy of the room. It's all about editing and looking for opportunity to ensure the best flow and guest experience. โœจ

333 meters above the Mediterranean, carved into the rocky cliffs of Monaco, The Maybourne Riviera is an all you can eat buffet for the eyes. The views are paralyzing, and the setting is nothing short of spectacular. With a breathtaking backdrop like this, every moment becomes a masterpiece. โœจ

The first pour is never meant to fill your glassโ€”it's an invitation to experience the wine.

Start by taking in the aromas. Give the glass a gentle swirl to release the wine's full bouquet, then take another smell before your first sip. As you taste, let a little air pass through your mouth to further aerate the wine and reveal its layers of flavor.
If you enjoy it, simply let your server know, and they'll happily pour the rest.

Great wine is meant to be experienced, not rushed. Cheers! ๐Ÿท

Wine and champagne are meant to be enjoyedโ€”but context is everything!

If you're spending the day at a fabulous beach club, rosรฉ all day and bottomless bubbles may be exactly what's called for. But at a expensive dinner, take your cue from your host, you don't want to be known as the guzzler at the table. Sip at the same pace, savor each glass, and remember that elegance is never rushed. True style isn't about what's in your glassโ€”it's about how you enjoy it.

Welcome back to my Wine & Champagne Series, where effortless entertaining begins with thoughtful etiquette.
Cheers! ๐Ÿท

A great bottle of wine doesn't have to be the most expensive one on the list.

The secret? Describe to your sommelier or waiter the varietals and flavor profiles you enjoyโ€”whether that's crisp and mineral-driven, rich and oaky, or bold and full-bodiedโ€”and discreetly indicate the price range you're comfortable with. They'll guide you to the perfect selection for you and your guests.

Ordering wine should feel effortless... never intimidating!

Welcome to the first edition of my Wine & Champagne Series, where I'll be sharing the tips, etiquette, and entertaining secrets that elevate every dining experience. ๐Ÿท
