Ilaria and Mauro’s first anniversary party at Vico Bello, Siena

Ilaria and Mauro threw a great party for their first wedding anniversary! They called it White Happiness: a total white party, with all the guests dressed in white. We met them directly at the villa they chose for the event, le Volte di Vico Bello near Siena, a wonderful location with a magnificent Italian garden dominated by a huge Ginkgo biloba tree, where the aperitif took place.

Photo booth and bossa nova in the garden

As soon as we arrived we set up our photo booth outside in the garden for the aperitif. Everybody really enjoyed it, it was really fun, and all the guests had at least a couple of photos with Ilaria or Mauro.

During the aperitif some people started to dance to the jazz and bossa nova rhythms of the live band, and from that moment on the whole party was all about dancing!

Dinner under vintage chandeliers

The al fresco dinner was wonderful: a long table outside, with dozens of vintage glass chandeliers hanging above the guests. During the blue hour we took some drone shots of the table from above, with the villa in the background.

After each course the Knights Club, a really crazy and talented band, came out playing, dancing and joining the party with Ilaria, Mauro and their guests.

Latin dances till late at night

When dinner ended, Ilaria came out wearing the perfect dress for the disco, and together with a group of Latin dancers they grabbed all the guests and led them to the ballroom.

We really enjoyed being with them. Their anniversary party was amazing, and we had so much fun taking photos and dancing with them till late at night!
