A Real Velvet Wedding

Emma & James,
September 2024

When Emma and James first came to us, they had one request: "We want it to feel like stepping into a dream." Over nine months of collaboration, we transformed their vision into a ceremony that their guests are still talking about.

The Glasshouse was dressed entirely in soft blush garden roses, cascading white wisteria, and delicate gold candlelight. Over 2,000 blooms were arranged by our floral partner, starting at 3am on the day. The tablescape took three days to design and half a day to install.

"Sofia and the Velvet team didn't just plan our wedding — they understood us. Every detail we hadn't even thought of was already taken care of."

The result: a 14-hour day without a single hiccup. The couple spent zero time worrying about logistics and every moment simply being in love.

A Passion for Love, Craft & Beauty

Sofia Marchetti grew up in Florence, surrounded by Renaissance art and an Italian family who believed that every celebration — however small — deserved to be beautiful. That sensibility has shaped everything she does.

After training at the European Institute of Design in Milan and working alongside two of Italy's most renowned event studios, Sofia founded Velvet & Vow in 2013 with a single conviction: luxury weddings should feel intimate, not overwhelming.

Over 12 years and 400+ events across three continents — from Tuscan hilltops to Tokyo rooftops — Sofia has become one of the most sought-after wedding designers in the world. Her work has been featured in Vogue Weddings, Brides, and Harper's Bazaar.

Sofia takes on just 18 full-planning weddings per year, ensuring every couple receives her genuine, undivided attention.
