A Timeless Wedding in an 8th-Century Abbey in Umbria
Perched atop the rolling Umbrian hills, an ancient abbey became the setting for a wedding that felt like stepping into another era. With its weathered stone walls and sacred atmosphere, the monastery offered the perfect balance of history, nature, and quiet grandeur.
The ceremony took place in the abbey’s outdoor courtyard, where the breathtaking views of the hills became a natural backdrop, complemented by a rounded wild flowers arch.
For the reception, guests gathered in the abbey’s central square, where long tables in horse-shoe layout were draped in soft linens and adorned with wild florals in shades of green and white. Hundreds of candles flickered against the aged stone, casting a warm glow that turned the evening into something mystical.
