Natural Décor: Finding Elegance in the Elements

The most stunning outdoor wedding venue in Puglia requires very little "extra" to look spectacular. We love a "minimalist-chic" approach that lets the natural landscape do the heavy lifting.

  • Living Centerpieces: How about tables decorated with the scent of rosemary, wild thyme, or small olive trees that guests can plant later?
  • Native Flora: We avoid bringing in exotic flowers by plane and we use only wild Mediterranean flowers that grow naturally in our area.
  • Biodegradable Materials: We opt for things that can eventually be broken down by the environment like soft linen napkins and recycled paper stationery.
  • Upcycled Lighting: We employ solar-powered fairy lights and soy wax candles to create a romantic mood without the heavy energy consumption.
