WEDDING IN SAN FLORIANO DEL COLLIO – MARTA AND GIACOMO'S STORY AT FORMENTINI CASTLE

An elegant wedding amidst hills, history, and timeless details

There are places that seem born to treasure love stories. Castello Formentini, in San Floriano del Collio, is one of them: a noble residence overlooking the vineyards of the Collio Friulano, where time slows and everything exudes tranquility, elegance, and authenticity.

Marta and Giacomo’s wedding was one of those unforgettable events. An intense and refined union, celebrated entirely within the castle, amid ancient halls, panoramic views, and a soft light that seemed designed specifically to tell the story of their day.

Preparations among books and frescoes
Entering Castello Formentini in the morning, with the Collio breeze filtering through the windows and the silence of the rooms that speak to centuries of history, is an experience in itself.
Giacomo chose to get dressed in the castle’s library: a warm, intimate setting, perfect for his understated elegance. His black suit with dark burgundy details reflected his assertive yet refined style.

Marta, on the other hand, got ready in the bridal suite, surrounded by frescoes and pale fabrics. Her unconventional gown was a masterpiece: rosy tones, floral details, and sheer lightness. A dress that didn’t follow trends, but spoke volumes about her. Delicate, elegant, and unconventional.

Ceremony and reception in the heart of the Collio Friulano
The ceremony was held in the castle’s internal garden, amidst ancient walls and centuries-old trees. A truly intimate moment, with a golden light caressing every face.

The reception, held between the courtyard and the historic rooms, was a perfect balance of taste and sobriety: a convivial dinner, refined but not overdone, surrounded by Collio wine and heartfelt laughter.

As a photographer, it was a privilege to travel to document this day and discover through my lens the discreet wonders of San Floriano del Collio. A region that surprises with its authenticity, its soft colors, and its perfect light.
