‘We wanted to get married outside but
felt that the weather in Britain was too
unpredictable. Because we both love
Italy, it was an easy decision to take the
day abroad. We spent a week looking at
venues in North Italy – the Convento
dell’Annunciata was so stunning we
ended up comparing every other place
to it. We decided to have the ceremony
in the walled Secret Garden – this had
never been done before but it worked
beautifully. We had a white and green
palette (I love the simplicity of white
owers), printed all the stationery
ourselves at home and hung photos of
us with friends and family around the
venue as part of our decor. Our guests
loved the specially created cocktails and
the ve-course Italian meal, including
pumpkin, champagne and tru e
risotto – every plate was scraped clean.’JODY SENIOR, 29, MARRIED
