The Perfect Venue: Villa Del Balbianello


Nestled on its own peninsula,

the stunning Villa Del Balbianello served as the perfect backdrop for this wedding, which took place over three days. The venue, known for its breathtaking views and timeless elegance, was transformed into a breathtaking space, offering an ethereal setting for the weekend’s festivities.


Meet the Couple: Logan and Chad


Logan and Chad have been together since high school, building their lives and businesses together.

 Both entrepreneurs, they envisioned a wedding that would not only reflect their sophisticated style but also provide an intimate experience for their close-knit family and friends. With three daughters, they sought a celebration that was both personal and unforgettable.



The Fashion: A Blend of Tradition and Bold Statements


One of the standout elements of this wedding was the fashion, with the bride and groom’s looks perfectly capturing the essence of their personalities. 

The bride, styled by best friend and celebrity stylist Morgan Pinney, showcased a mix of traditional elegance and unexpected archival pieces. From a vibrant orange Laquan Smith gown for the spritz party to a classic Lazaro ball gown for the ceremony, the bride’s wardrobe was nothing short of extraordinary.

The groom, Chad, honored Italian craftsmanship with a custom Loro Piana tuxedo, paying homage to the rich Italian heritage that surrounded them.

The Design: Italian Heritage Meets Modern Elegance


The wedding design, led by Melissa Andre Design Co., was a seamless blend of traditional Italian architecture and modern, elevated elements.

 A full ceiling treatment and hand-sourced stone statues were used as vessels for the stunning floral arrangements, creating a sense of timeless beauty and sophistication.

Every detail was carefully considered, ensuring the couple’s vision was brought to life in the most spectacular way possible.

The Wedding Reception



 Guests were treated to a multi-course Italian feast, while custom calligraphed plates and vintage postcards added personal touches to the elegant tablescape. 

The couple moved through the crowd as friends and family shared heartfelt toasts and danced under the stars. The night was filled with joy, laughter, and unforgettable moments, reflecting the couple’s impeccable taste and the beauty of their story.

The Weekend of Celebrations


The wedding was nothing short of a spectacle, featuring a carefully curated series of events that were as memorable as they were stylish.

 The festivities began with a white party on the lake, setting the tone for the weekend ahead. Guests were treated to a spritz and pizza party that embraced the essence of Italian culture before the grand wedding ceremony, which was expertly designed by the talented Melissa Andre of Melissa Andre Design Co.

The weekend was a reflection of the couple’s impeccable taste, with every detail thoughtfully planned and executed.


This wedding at Villa Del Balbianello was not only a celebration of love but a showcase of how personal style and thoughtful design can come together to create an unforgettable experience.

 From the intimate moments to the grand gestures, every element was carefully crafted to reflect the couple’s vision and the beauty of Lake Como.
