Lake Como, Italy

Our first visit to Lake Como was a quick 2-night stop during our honeymoon tour of Italy and Croatia a few years back. I had no idea at the time how much of an impression it would make, and now it’s become one of our favorite European destinations.

If you’re looking for Italian elegance, you needn’t look further than Villa Balbiano. Nestled quietly on the edge of the lake, the villa’s enchantment is striking as you walk through the elaborate garden. Imagine your guests - after enjoying a private boat tour of Lake Como - wandering the grounds at sunset, cocktail in hand. It is the ultimate in luxury experiences.

As always, my passport is ready, and I’d love to meet you there! Glass of Prosecco, anyone?

Becca & Zachary - Palm Springs, California

For Becca and Zachary, Korakia Pensione, a Moroccan-inspired boutique hotel in Palm Springs, was the perfect destination to host their loved ones and create a truly unforgettable weekend experience.

A romantic celebration infused with personal details made this wedding truly one-of-a-kind. The tallit, a family heirloom on the groom’s side, was a nod to the importance of family, and Becca’s beautiful lace gown was of her own design. Siren Floral Co. created the most spectacular garden in the middle of the desert, and the evening ended with guests comfortably huddled around the fire as they reminisced on a fabulous weekend. One they won’t soon forget!
