The candles used during the reception alongside the stone archways is absolutely stunning...and the view isn't too bad either! ;) What do you think? Are you planning a destination wedding?

Real Luxury Wedding in Italy | Luxury Destination Wedding that has the major WOW factor

You haven't seen a wedding like this! Melanie and Desyn's luxurious destination wedding in Rome, Italy was a three day lavish celebration. Look at all the beautiful gold and ivory details! And the dress, hello! It was an Oscar de la Renta original couture design! He doesn't do much of that anymore. This was truly amazing wedding dress.

Melanie flew in from Dubai to see Lela New York for her luxury wedding invitation design. I created her boxed wedding invitations to tell her love story of how they met in NYC and were getting married in Rome. The outside is covered in white silk and crystals with gold embroidery. The inside was drenched in gold with crystals and a printed Mona Lisa on the inside, a little nod to Melanie's nick name from Desyn. So cute!
