Manuela & Maurizio: A Tale of Elegance and Romance

January 23, 2015

Italy Real-Bride

Beautiful bride Manuela graciously shares the story of her unforgettable wedding day. Adorned in a stunning Jenny Packham gown and hair decoration, she chose our elegant Leila Gold wedding shoes to accompany her down the aisle.

The Setting: Manuela and Maurizio's wedding unfolded in the breathtaking Odescalchi Castle in Bracciano, Rome, Italy—a venue steeped in enchantment and history.

Manuela's Description of Their Day: “Our wedding was chic and informal, at least this is what others say, and actually, that was what I really wanted. We wanted to have a big party but with elegance and style. Everything started with my dress ‘Hyacinth’ from Jenny Packham, with whom I fell in love from the first moment I saw it in magazines, and I was lucky that it was the best fit for me."

"After I bought the dress, I started looking for the right shoes and I started panicking because I couldn’t believe that in a country like Italy, famous for the most beautiful shoe makers and fashion brands, I could not find the right shoes for my dress with only one month left."

"Manuela then decided to ask Jenny Packham in London, and they recommended Emmy London bridal shoes. She fell in love with our Leila Gold wedding shoes, which made all the difference to her outfit! The Leila shoes are super beautiful and very comfortable. I danced until 4 am in the morning without any need to change shoes."

"The reception at the Castle in Bracciano was bathed in sunlight, and we enjoyed a lovely sunset on the lake. We had a delightful and fun night with family and friends in the historical and beautiful setting of the Castle."
