Two things I really love are gorgeous European farmhouses and a royal wedding, and today’s post has a little of both...
This lovely Italian villa in Casatenovo belongs to the family of Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, who's now the husband of Princess Beatrice.
Princess Beatrice of York is Queen Elizabeth’s granddaughter and the wedding was set to take place on May 29th, but had to be postponed due to the pandemic. Beatrice and Eduardo quietly got married on July 17th, at Windsor, with fewer than 20 people attending.
They look so happy here, underneath this glorious floral archway. Her bouquet contained trailing jasmine, pink O’Hara garden roses, pale pink and cream sweet peas, royal porcelain ivory spray roses, pink wax flower, baby pink astilbe and sprigs of myrtle.
"The sweet peas in this pretty posy have many meanings including “blissful love” while the traditional myrtle, taken from a plant traced back to Queen Victoria, denotes love and has long been a symbol of marriage."
I just love seeing the details of Beatrice’s gorgeous vintage wedding dress and tiara up close. This is the same Queen Mary Diamond Fringe tiara that the queen herself wore on her own wedding day in 1947.
The vintage Norman Hartnell dress was also on loan from her grandmother, Queen Elizabeth. I love the storybook style of this gown, don’t you?

Along with Beatrice, here are the other recent royal brides whose weddings had much more pomp and circumstance than the Beatrice's ceremony.
The lovely Villa Mapelli Mozzi also hosts lavish weddings, so today we’re going to take a little tour of this exquisite Italian villa...
happy sunday!
ciao! fabiana
