[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]Ashley and Jordan’s multi-day destination wedding embodied the essence of Lake Como through exquisite experiences and endless entertainment for their guests. Hosted at Villa Balbiano in the town of Ossuccio, this home provided an idyllic setting for the welcome party, an elaborate wedding day, and a brunch-themed pool party.
“Those who know Jordan and me know we love to have a good time with our friends. We were inspired to create an atmosphere where not only did we celebrate, but also all of our guests felt just as special. This was difficult in a way to try to keep the modern, elegant vibe but also incorporate fun “eccentric” elements that surprised our guests.”[/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]In 2013, Ashley was in law school at KU and Jordan was opening a Pickleman’s restaurant in KC when they happened to be invited to the same wedding. Almost something out of a movie, Ashley caught the bouquet and Jordan caught the garter. While neither was expecting it to turn into anything serious, Jordan really sealed the deal when he surprised Ashley a few months later with George, their first Pom child. Ashley was smitten from then on and they’ve since expanded their family with their three Pom children, George, Penny, and Pablo.
On 2/9/22, Ashley was heading out for a supposed girls night. Jordan had secretly been planning a proposal and engagement party by renting out the Mercury Room for that evening. A lot had been going on behind the scenes (including a photo shoot of the poms!) so this was a challenge to keep secret. Jordan was able to pull off a complete surprise – Ashley said YES and family and friends arrived shortly after for a cocktail party to celebrate. Ashley and Jordan flew to Italy a few days after to start wedding planning![/field]

[section title=”The Details”]
[field title=”Food & Drink”]The weekend included a variety of Italian-inspired food stations, including a pizza truck at the after party and a gelato cart at the pool party — all paired, of course, with a selection of Campari, Aperol, and Prosecco. [/field]
[field title=”Florals & Decor”]The citrus-themed welcome party gave guests a taste of what’s to come. Set among the orchard under a canopy of string lights, the lemon-infused decor added a touch of freshness to the magical space. The wedding ceremony was set atop a circular stage, with the softest ivory and blush florals that greeted Lake Como’s deep blue waters. The reception brought guests into a fantasy world. Modern tasseled chandeliers were hung above candle displays, with floral arrangements in every direction. Ending off the wedding weekend was their chic LA vibe pool party, inspired by The Beverly Hills Hotel.[/field]
[field title=”Wedding Cake”]We didn’t have a cake, but we worked with a production company that helped curate an experience. From the moment the guests walked through the gates to the very last song played at the after party. We had flower artists at the cocktail hour, Stilts/Marionette dancers at the champagne toast, and a fire show. [/field]
