Set in the Italian countryside, True Bride Ngoc and Raphael celebrated their love with a romantic destination wedding in Tuscany. From a relaxed pizza welcome party to an emotional first look and a celebration that ended with guests jumping into the pool, their wedding at Burlamacchi Villas was personal, joyful and full of memorable moments.
For the occasion, Ngoc wore Stella York Style 7560, a romantic A-line wedding dress she found at True Society in Munich. With floral lace details, a sweetheart neckline and custom puff sleeves added by her tailor, the gown brought her soft, feminine bridal vision to life while feeling completely true to her style.
NGOC, TELL US ABOUT YOUR PARTNER. HOW DID YOU MEET?
My partner and I met during our first year at university at the annual Christmas party. I was wandering around, exploring the different rooms, when I opened one of the doors and saw him playing table football with three other guys. They all invited me to join, but I was shy and politely declined. He, however, insisted that I play with him.
WHAT WAS YOUR PROPOSAL LIKE?
He proposed on Easter Sunday during a hike around the beautiful Königssee with our dog. We left the main trail, carefully climbed down the hillside, and found a quiet spot by the lake where we could enjoy some privacy. Eventually, everyone wandered off, and we finally had the moment to ourselves. He seized the opportunity, got down on one knee, and asked if I would carry his name for the rest of our lives.
TELL US MORE ABOUT YOUR WEDDING.
Our wedding in Tuscany was a whirlwind of emotions…stress, relief, excitement, overwhelming happiness, and the anticipation of beginning a new chapter together. We had rented a villa for three nights, and on the day we arrived, I spent most of my time making sure every last detail was in place. That evening, as our guests arrived, we all gathered in the garden to enjoy freshly baked pizza together.
DESCRIBE YOUR BRIDAL STYLE.
I was looking for a romantic A-line gown with a soft blush undertone. My vision included delicate 3D floral appliqués on the bodice that would gradually fade from the hips down to the knees. I also couldn’t decide between off-the-shoulder sleeves and puff sleeves, but in the end, I chose puff sleeves, which I had custom-made by my tailor.
TELL US ABOUT YOUR DRESS SHOPPING EXPERIENCE AT TRUE SOCIETY.
The entire True Crew was incredibly kind and welcoming, always greeting us with a smile. While my friends got settled and were offered refreshments, my consultant and I walked through the showroom to discuss what I was looking for in a dress. She carefully selected a few gowns that matched my vision and helped me try each one on. As we went along, she explained every detail, pointed out what could be altered, and advised me on what to keep in mind when choosing a dress.
HOW DID YOU FEEL IN YOUR GOWN ON YOUR WEDDING DAY?
I loved it because it felt like me. It reflected my personality, made me feel comfortable and confident, and that’s what mattered most.
HOW DID YOUR PARTNER REACT WHEN THEY SAW YOU IN YOUR WEDDING DRESS?
When he first saw me in my dress, his eyes immediately filled with tears, and for a moment, he was completely speechless. He looked me up and down, then met my eyes and softly told me that I looked beautiful.
