A lakeside wedding at Villa Cipressi for a London couple who chose Lake Como for their day. Timeless Italian elegance, golden light, and a celebration built around the view of the water.
Lydia and Harvey traveled from London to marry on the shores of Lake Como. The ceremony took place on the villa's terraced gardens, with the lake stretching out behind them. As the afternoon turned to evening, the celebration moved into dinner under an open sky, the sunset settling over the water while a live Italian quartet played.
It was an intimate, refined day. The kind where the setting does half the work and the couple does the rest. Villa Cipressi gave them history, gardens, and an uninterrupted view of the lake, and the evening closed slowly, in no rush, exactly as a Lake Como wedding should.

Step into the TIMELESS BEAUTY OF LAKE COMO
Villa Cipressi. Lake Como. Italy
Villa Cipressi is one of the most romantic wedding venues on Lake Como, a historic lakeside estate in Varenna on the eastern shore of the lake. Dating back to the 16th century, the villa is known for its terraced botanical gardens that descend toward the water, planted with cypresses, magnolias, and rare Mediterranean species.
The estate sits directly on the lake, with open terraces and garden levels that look out over the water toward the surrounding mountains. Its intimate scale and uninterrupted views make it a favorite for couples who want a ceremony and dinner with the lake as a constant backdrop, rather than a grand palace setting.
