t ru e l ov e . t ru e l u x u r y. END NOTES A cute set of dessert carts displayed a selection of profiteroles from nadège, donuts from jelly modern donuts, along with assorted fruit and chocolate. The carts were based on designs created originally by Frank Rea with awning designs developed in conjunction with WedLuxe for the 2014 WedLuxe Wedding Show. The awnings were given a graphic update to display Michelle and Luca’s names just like a real pastry shop. Nadia Colella of nadia & co~ took inspiration for the cake design from the couple’s intricate invitations. The seven-tier cream-coloured cake featured a custom embossed floral design, gilded lace details, and handmade sugar roses with gold leaves that trickled down the cake. The day was captured by impact films. The live band soular performed while guests dined before DJ LiL Funky took over and turned the Italian wedding up a notch, playing crowd-pleasing Italian hits. For an added late-night entertainment treat, bb blanc provided a bongo and sax player. Michelle and Luca’s honeymoon was an adventurefilled, wanderlust-worthy experience. The newlyweds first flew to Hong Kong before moving on to Thailand where they visited Chiang Mai, Bangkok (where they celebrated Michelle’s birthday at the top of the tower club at lebua), Ko Samui, Krabi, and Phuket before ending their trip with a stay at the jumeirah mina a’salam in extravagant Dubai. “We had the trip of a lifetime,” says Michelle. / RE SOURCE to see more, visit WEDLUXE.COM ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHER Mango Studios For the evening portion of the celebration, the bride changed into a custom-made Danny De La Venta gown.
