About the Couple

The Essence
Lera and Pasha are a couple who captured our hearts from the very first call — deep, thoughtful, and full of trust.

At our first meeting, they said: “We want a beautiful Italian wedding. A villa among Tuscan trees, aperitivo at sunset, dinner under the stars, strung lights above us.

We know your style. We trust you with our day.” And we made it happen. Their wedding was all about the moment. About being present. About them.

With Italian soul in every detail — the vibe, the music, the menu, the landscape, the decor, the emotions.
So Special Story
The wedding was originally planned for October 8. Everything was on track… until the weather changed. Just days before the big day — rain was in the forecast.

We had two options: rent a tent or follow Christina’s (our planner’s) brave idea — “What if we move the wedding by one day? The forecast says October 9 is dry.” After checking every detail — logistics, timing, vendors — we all said yes. It was the only way to keep their dream of an outdoor ceremony alive. And the rest?

Morning
The day began with breakfast on the villa balcony — overlooking the Tuscan hills, with stillness, beauty, and presence. We styled the moment with subtle décor and delicate breakfast details to make it feel extra special.

Lera then got ready with her bridesmaids and family, while Pasha spent time with his friends. They didn’t see each other until the ceremony — saving that emotion for when it mattered most.
Ceremony
The ceremony took place under the open sky, surrounded by the golden light of the Tuscan afternoon. Guests were greeted with glasses of prosecco while elegant music by Pavlo Ilnytskyi and string quartet set the tone. It was intimate. Emotional.

Quiet in a way that made every sound feel deeper. Lera and Pasha saw each other for the first time here — outdoors, under the sun, in the presence of the people they love. This is where they spoke their vows — raw, honest, and full of heart.
Decor
A gentle balance of silence and style. Lera & Pasha’s wedding proved how minimalist design can feel luxurious when every detail carries intention. Florals paired with elegant candelabras dressed the space.

Textiles in nude tones and natural textures reflected the villa’s architecture and the surrounding nature.

Black accents in the table settings gave everything structure and rhythm — bold, stylish, just as Lera envisioned. The ceremony arch was a true art piece — naturally asymmetrical, slightly wild, and perfectly blended into the Tuscan landscape.
Gastronomy Experience
After the ceremony, guests were invited to aperitivo — the mood of the evening began here. The food became part of the atmosphere — alive, expressive, unmistakably Italian. Live cooking brought the space to life. Chefs prepared dishes in front of guests, filling the air with sizzling olive oil, aromas, and joyful sound. This was the Italian vibe they had dreamed of — wine, laughter, movement, flavor.
Details Matter
Every corner was designed for joy, ease, and lasting memories. These weren’t just zones
— they were stories within the story.
– A Polaroid guestbook zone — a mini archive of real, unfiltered emotions
– A custom crossword about the couple — fun, light-hearted, and surprisingly bonding
– A mirror photo area — where everyone could see a bit of themselves in the day
– A cigar lounge — curated for slow conversations and late-night moments

All these little things made the wedding deeply personal and truly about Lera & Pasha.
Wedding Dinner
Their dinner was the definition of the perfect Italian outdoor wedding. Refined food, heartfelt toasts, laughter, and that golden string light glow above. It was one of those moments you want to pause and never leave.
Kind Words
This was the most magical, happiest, and most beautiful day of our lives. There were challenges, but they only made the day more meaningful. This wedding

reflected who we are — emotional, tender, and real. We can’t imagine the day without our families, friends, and the team that saw us from the very start.

Our deepest gratitude to MOPIS — you understood us completely and brought our dream to life. It was a dream. And it became real. Villa Cozzano will always have a special place in our hearts. (And yes, we still miss Frank!)
