Amongst whitewashed stone and flickering candlelight, Sara and Alex exchanged vows under a full moon along the Adriatic Sea. Pops of olive trees mingled with swathes of silk for the perfect balance of organic minimalism, while the earth-toned backdrop at the Masseria Moroseta warmed up the ambiance in this intimate Italian wedding.

STYLE NOTES:

Earrings: The Celine Studs

Modern sophistication — glistening ivory beading knotted with pearls.

Billowing silk and organic cotton added romantic texture to this modern bride’s aesthetic. While Sara and Alex’s personal style offered a minimalistic overall tone, the addition of lace trim, woven pearls, and bold shades created an edgier side to the look. With her abstract halter neckline, wispy low bun, and our staple Celine Studs, Sara balanced statement appeal with effortless simplicity.

Waterfalls of champagne and warm candlelight hues washed over friends and family as they danced into the early hours of the morning— an intimate union of both the bride and groom’s worlds that Sara says “ended up more special than I could have ever imagined!!”

“The whole weekend was wild and magical.”

Monika Frias' artistic perspective is an ode to elegant romance and soft moments. Her ability to capture not only love stories through her lens but abstract beauty and glimpses of moments captured unbeknownst to the subject are what make Sara and Alex's gallery all that more inviting.
