Enchanting Wedding at Villa Durazzo
September 2, 2024
Giulia’s wedding was a breathtaking celebration of love and culture, set in the stunning Villa Durazzo in Liguria, Italy. She wore an exquisite gown by Monique L’Huillier, discovered on a special trip to New York with her mother. “It was the first dress I tried on, and we both knew instantly it was ‘The One,’” Giulia fondly recalled.
One of the most touching moments was when Giulia entered the church on her father’s arm, locking eyes with her husband waiting at the end of the aisle. The ceremony elegantly blended American and Italian traditions—from a beautifully choreographed first dance to both Cody Johnson and Domenico Modugno, to the heartfelt, handcrafted details her parents provided. Her mother hand-painted the invitations and programs, while her father commissioned custom ceramic favors from a local artisan, adding deeply personal touches.
To preserve her gown, Giulia entrusted Elegance Preserved, a name recommended by Monique L’Huillier herself. The team’s wedding dress cleaning and custom preservation box services ensure Giulia’s gown will remain as timeless as her memories, with hopes of passing it down someday.
For Giulia and her husband, the wedding day was a perfect blend of love, family, and heritage—a story they will cherish forever.
