A Puglian Wedding with Mediterranean Neutrals, and Nigerian Meets Danish Influences

Simi and Morten envisioned a destination wedding that felt vibrant, intentional, and deeply personal.

Florals were soft, romantic, and intentionally understated, allowing the historic surroundings to shine. Pastel arrangements added warmth and contrast to the villa’s stone interiors, particularly during the indoor ceremony, where blooms popped beautifully against black Thonet chairs. Outdoor spaces were styled with long tables, wishbone chairs, candlelight, and subtle Danish design elements, creating a refined yet welcoming atmosphere that flowed seamlessly from day to night.
