Sun-drenched landscapes, historic architecture, endless aperitivos and celebrations that carried long into the night — Abbey and Matt’s Sicily destination wedding was the perfect blend of effortless elegance and laid-back Italian romance.
Set against the steep limestone mountains of Castellammare del Golfo, Sicily, this wedding celebration brought together guests from around the world for an unforgettable Mediterranean wedding experience. The couple met in Australia, live in London but Sicily holds some of their sweetest memories, so they chose to bring their loved ones together at Villa Dell’Orizzonte where candlelit dinners, and late night dancing were all perched high on a cliff overlooking the sweeping coastline.
The flowers were foraged from the fields surrounding the Villa, Abbey wore the perfect Anna October dress that flowed about her in the sea breeze. her heels gave way to crocs in bridal white to dance in comfort late into the night.
With its rich history, cinematic scenery, warm light and relaxed pace, Sicily remains one of the most sought-after locations for destination weddings in Europe, and this celebration perfectly embodied why couples continue to fall in love with getting married in Italy.
Captured on a mix of digital and analogue film photography, this Sicily wedding was centred around connection, atmosphere and the beautifully imperfect moments that made the weekend feel deeply personal and alive.
