A Poetic Love Story – Ambra & Michael’s Italy Destination Wedding

Ambra and Michael’s Italy destination wedding was a breathtaking celebration that brought together their loved ones from across the globe. Though they both live in Canada, Ambra’s roots trace back to Italy, whereas Michael’s are in Taiwan. This made their wedding a beautiful fusion of cultures. Set against the backdrop of Italy’s most hidden gem – the Prosecco Hills – their special day welcomed guests from around the world. Friends and family traveled from different continents to witness their vows, making the celebration very emotional, and even more meaningful.

An Outdoor Ceremony Turned Indoor Elegance

Welcome to the gallery of Ambra and Michael’s stunning destination wedding at Castello San Salvatore. Their vision for the day was clear – they wanted the focus to be on them, the grandeur of the castle, and a documentary style narrative that told the story naturally.

The day started in the castle’s elegant suites, where the bride and groom got ready with their closest friends and family. Ambra’s preparations took place in a beautifully decorated room, ideal for capturing the getting ready moments. She wore the most stunning dresses handmade by Ersa Atelier. One designed specifically for the ceremony, the other for the evening reception. Meanwhile, Michael and his groomsmen shared a toast in one of the castle’s historic rooms, enjoying the calm before the celebrations began.

Originally planned as an outdoor wedding ceremony in the castle gardens, the event took an unexpected turn. Sudden dark blue clouds rolled in, bringing a dramatic thunderstorm. Luckily, quick thinking by the wedding planners transformed the castle’s indoor Rambaldo VIII’s hall into an elegant setting. The couple exchanged their vows with excitement in a historic room adorned with lush floral arrangements. It all proved that even rain can add an element of magic to a wedding day story. Ambra and Michael’s vow exchange ceremony remained nothing less than spectacular.

Aperitivo with Breathtaking Views & A Candlelit Dinner in the Castle’s Grand Hall

As the sky cleared, guests enjoyed a Venetian-style aperitivo in the castle’s courtyard, overlooking rolling vineyards and the picturesque countryside. Signature cocktails, gourmet Italian delicacies, and the elegant ambiance set the perfect tone for the evening celebration.

The reception took place in a grand dining hall. Long banquet tables were decorated with exquisite flower composiotions and hundreds of flickering candles creating a romantic, movie-like atmosphere. Guests enjoyed a carefully curated menu of delicious Italian cuisine, paired with fine wines from the Veneto region.

Following the emotional speeches and the wedding cake cutting, the couple surprised their guests with a spectacular fireworks show. The newlyweds then shared their first dance in a ballroom, followed by a lively party with a DJ and dancing well into the night.

Fairytale Veneto Wedding At San Salvatore Castle

As you can see, a wedding at Castello San Salvatore in Susegana is the definition of a luxury celebration. Set in the province of Treviso in Northern Italy, this incredible Italian castle wedding venue offers breathtaking views, beautiful architecture, and a historic charm that creates the perfect setting for a high-end wedding in Italy.

Dreamy Sunrise Pre-Wedding Photoshoot in Venice

Before their wedding, Ambra and Michael opted for a sunrise photoshoot in Venice – a special moment for just the two of them.

If you’re planning your wedding in Italy, consider setting aside time for a sunrise or sunset shoot in a beautiful location. It’s a chance to step away from the busy schedule of the day and have a quiet moment just for the two of you. Without distractions, you can soak it all in, be present with each other, and capture photos without the anxiety of the big day. The soft morning or evening light creates a completely different atmosphere than your wedding day photos, giving you even more memories to look back on. Whether it’s a walk by the quiet Venetian canals, a moment in the Dolomites, or a peaceful morning in the Tuscan countryside. These photo shoots offer something special that you’ll never regret making time for.
