Love – Emily Blunt and John Krasinski – Villa d’Este – Como, Italy
Golden Globe winner, Emily Blunt, and John Krasinski from “The Office”, were married Saturday in a beautiful private outdoor ceremony at Villa d”Este in Como, Italy. Blunt wore a Marchesa cream chiffon sweetheart gown, and her ring is a 3 carat Edwardian diamond and platinum ring from Neil Lang.

Villa d’Este was built in 1568. The 25 acres of gardens, statutes, and landscape have been photographed for centuries, and the property is surrounded by the breathtaking Lake Como. This 16th Century Villa is one of the world’s leading destinations, and is highly praised for its gardens, award winning cuisine, luxurious rooms, impeccable decor, and first class service.
I was fortunate enough to visit Villa d”Este a few years back, and without a doubt, it is a spectacular location for a destination wedding.
Love – Nicole and Joshua – Hummingbird Nest Ranch
Our Little Lady Nicole is all grown up. The new Mrs. Robinson had the most memorable wedding day at the Hummingbird Nest Ranch in Simi Valley, California. The location served as the perfect setting for Nicole’s desire to have a romantic garden themed wedding. She and her groom exchanged their wedding vows under canopied olive trees, and their reception followed on the beautifully terraced grounds of this romantic setting.
Future posts will follow on Nicole and Joshua’s day, but we wanted to share a quick peek of some of the photographs taken by their photographer, Lukas Van Dyke.
