After the intimate Thursday night Pizza party and Movie Night, Olivia and Freddy kicked off the festivities officially with a water front welcome party at the Cala Di Volpe inspired by a traditional Italian farmer’s market. Guests nibbled on charcuterie and olives, enjoyed a mini petting zoo with the sweetest of donkeys and each were given their own min bouquet bundle in lieu of traditional escort cards. Aperol Spritz and Bellini’s were overflowing before a family style feast of all the traditional Italian fare one could eat. Guests dined at one U shaped table build for 200 and chatted the night away with Gypsy Jazz playing in the background. The night ended with homemade gelato, of course. Enjoy the images from Lauren & Abby and the overtop blooms from Vincenzo Dascanio.
