Set high above the rolling hills of Le Marche, Roos and Gianni’s wedding unfolded like a love letter – tenderly composed and rich with contrast. The estate, golden in the afternoon light, echoed with laughter and the rustle of olive trees in the breeze. Espresso tones swept through the bridal party like brushstrokes against ivory, while their monogram: quietly stitched and carefully placed – anchored the celebration in intimacy. A celebration shaped by instinct, steeped in sentiment, and carried gently by the Italian summer.

Gianni and I first met on a sunny afternoon at a terrace in the city where I was living at the time. He was living in Amsterdam, and I was still in a small town. Just a month later, I moved to Amsterdam—and somehow, we kept bumping into each other. It felt like the universe was trying to tell us something.
Eventually, we exchanged numbers, started texting, and after two weeks, we had our first date. From that moment on, we were inseparable.
Only four weeks later, Gianni asked me to be his girlfriend—in the snow-covered mountains of the Dolomites in Italy. It was pure magic.
A little over a year after we started dating, Gianni proposed to me in Taormina, Sicily. I had just undergone surgery on my uterus, and there was a chance I might not be able to have children. But despite everything, Gianni was certain he wanted to be with me forever and decided to ask me to marry him. It came as a complete surprise. It was the most magical moment I’ve ever experienced, and I will never forget that evening.

Gianni turned out to be half Italian, and I always dreamed that if I ever got married, it would have to be in Italy. So everything just fell into place perfectly. Gianni’s grandfather is from the Dolomites, and his grandmother from Rimini, so our wedding had to be near one of those two places. I wasn’t interested in a winter wedding, but a summer wedding was a must—so the choice was easy. We started looking for a location around Rimini.

Eventually, we found Le Stonghe in Le Marche, a stunning estate perched on a beautiful hill. It was full of charm, romantic vibes, and cozy atmosphere. We couldn’t wait to celebrate our wedding there.
Since I’m really into details and wanted everything to go perfectly, we decided to bring in both the wedding planner and all the vendors from the Netherlands. The wedding planner, florist, photographer, videographer, content creator, physiotherapist—everyone came over from the Netherlands. I wanted everything carefully planned in advance and wanted to be sure that everything would go exactly as I had imagined.

The theme for the evening was Black Tie, and for the ladies we also had a color code. Those colors were reflected beautifully in the flowers, napkins, seating arrangement—everything came together perfectly.
We had a logo designed using our initials, which appeared everywhere. It was embroidered on the napkins, printed on the invitations, incorporated into all the decorations—every detail featured it.
One thing I knew for sure when I was getting married: my bridesmaids had to wear Shona Joy. I’ve been wearing Shona Joy for years and always receive compliments whenever I do. They create the most beautiful dresses, and this was something I absolutely wanted for my bridesmaids.

I have four very different bridesmaids—different heights, different shapes, and one was even pregnant. Shona Joy helped me so much in finding the perfect dresses for each of them. The color theme included dark brown, and I knew Shona Joy had a beautiful espresso shade in their collection that I really wanted for the girls’ dresses.
Each bridesmaid felt stunning. Every dress was perfectly tailored to their unique figure. I thought they looked amazing. Every time I look back at the photos and videos, I think, this is exactly how I imagined it. It was just perfect.
The shimmer in the bridesmaids’ dresses was also in my own gown, and they blended beautifully together. The contrast between the dark espresso and my white dress was stunning. Honestly, I couldn’t have wished for anything better.
