Mallory & Nick's Dreamy Wedding in Val d'Orcia at Borgo di Castelvecchio

There's something absolutely magical about couples who dare to dream big, and Mallory and Nick from Philadelphia? They dreamed of saying "I do" in one of the most breathtaking corners of Italy. Their choice of Borgo di Castelvecchio in Val d'Orcia wasn't just about having a pretty backdrop (though trust us, the views are incredible). It was about creating a moment so perfect, so them, that every guest would feel the love radiating from those ancient hilltops.

Morning Butterflies and Getting Ready Magic

You know that feeling when you wake up on your wedding day and suddenly everything feels surreal? That's exactly how Mallory's morning began in one of the hamlet's stone-walled rooms. While she was getting ready, surrounded by her closest friends, the medieval walls seemed to hold centuries of love stories – and now they were witnessing hers. Meanwhile, Nick was probably trying not to peek at the ceremony setup, fighting every urge to catch a glimpse of what was waiting for him.

Dancing Until the Stars Came Out

The cake cutting was sweet (literally and figuratively), but the real party started when the music began. Watching guests dance in a medieval courtyard under a blanket of stars? Pure magic. It was one of those nights where nobody wanted to leave, where every song felt perfect, and where Mallory and Nick looked at each other like they couldn't believe this was actually their life.

Some couples just get it right, you know? Mallory and Nick didn't just plan a destination wedding – they created an experience that felt authentically them while embracing everything beautiful about Tuscany.
