A Snow Queen’s Dream in Cortina

Entertaining· Flowers· Travel· Wedding

25 Nov

Benvenuti a Cortina d’Ampezzo! This past January I had the great pleasure of traveling to the Dolomites with event designers Clara Boatto and Eva Trevisan, of Chic Weddings Italy, for an unforgettable winter wonder experience in the posh town of Cortina.

The luxurious ski resort is nestled within the famous Italian mountain range just north of Venice. Crisp mountain air, snowcapped peaks, blankets of rolling evergreen trees and spectacular views of chic chalet landscapes delight at every turn. #myheartsaflutter

Sitting pretty on the hillside, overlooking Cortina and the Tofane Mountains, is SanBrite – a gourmet family-owned farm-to-table restaurant. Adjacent is Piccolo Brite, an artisanal cheese shop with a selection of beautifully delicious goods all made with the freshest ingredients from the family’s dairy farm just up the road. It’s here at SanBrite, surrounded by mountainous beauty and a heart-fluttering chalet aesthetic, that we gathered with a brilliant team of creatives to bring this wintry alfresco gathering to life.

Within Nature’s Element

Nature’s frosty palette of powdery white, soft evergreen and nutty mushroom brown guided the aesthetic. Veronica Halim, of Truffy Pi, designed the prettiest handmade paper menus and wooden place cards that paired perfectly with the surrounding landscape. The sweet Carolina, of Oui Fleurs, crafted one-of-a-kind floral moments around the property incorporating a variety of textures with both dried and velvety soft flora including branches of cotton, pampas grass, dusty miller, lambs ear, spiral eucalyptus, and ranunculus among other foraged elements.

A Snow Queen’s Dream

Ciao bella! Cortina is a snow queen’s dream in a winter wonderland. Our queen was dressed in a flowy tulle Rime Arodaky gown that danced with the wind. Cozy accessories from Marinotti Cortina accented the chic mountain look.

The frosty table was set with a white plastered tablecloth, white cutlery, white plates and white flowers. Oui Fleurs strung garlands of flowers from the pergola above. The hills were truly alive at SanBrite!

If you had the pleasure of knowing her, you loved her. Her laugh was infectious. Her endless creative spirit was inspiring. Her wittiness charmed. When I first met her, she took me under her wing and welcomed me into the most beautiful world that I could not have imagined without her. Without Tracy Lazaro, Flutter would not have existed. It was our brainchild that first came to life in the spring of 2012 in Santa Barbara. Together, with so many like minded friends and artists, we built the foundation of something that brought endless beauty into all of our lives, that brought people together from around the world, and that quite frankly, changed my life. I don't have many pictures of the two of us because she always ran from the camera, but this one, I will cherish forever. It was taken the night our first print issue arrived, hot off the press. It was a surreal moment for both of us to see the endless hours and late nights come to life in tangible form.

Tracy, I am forever grateful for your friendship, your kindness, your laughter, your mentorship,  and for you just being you... I hope you are somewhere soaring among the flowers and wild horses.

A gofund me me has been set up in Tracy's honor to help her family through this difficult time. 💜

Here’s to celebrating our glorious Mother Earth today and every day! 🥂🌎🌷

This gathering was a celebration of food, nature and likeminded friends at @thewunderkammer_urbanfarm in the spring of 2019. 

Surrounded by an abundance of blooming potted flowers + plants, animals, various gardens, a wild meadow and beautiful life-sized topiaries that flanked each end of the table we sat at...it was one of those magical evenings thats exceptional beauty and spirit was made possible by Mother Earth...and the thoughtful aesthetic of @thewunderkammer_amsterdam, of course!
