Outdoor Wedding Venue Image | the newlyweds are toasted by their guests

Looking both regal and relaxed, the newlyweds are toasted by their guests on the idyllic grounds of the venue at Borgo Antico San Vitale in Borgonato, Italy.

A pair of doves have been the longstanding symbol of love and peace, so it only made sense that Ombretta and Alberto celebrated their marriage at Le 2 Colombe a restaurant located in Borgo Antico San Vitale. The restaurant's name translates to two doves, a fitting tribute.

The couple's relaxed nature on their wedding day highlighted the intense bond that they share with one another, and the peaceful grounds of the restaurant created the perfect ambiance for their closest family members and friends to enjoy the day.
