Before

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Lake Como, Nycol and Ethan’s pre-wedding celebration unfolded on the beautiful lakeside terrace of Sottovento, a charming restaurant in the village of Lierna.

The party embraced true Italian style. The décor was a vision in red and white—elegant yet playful, with beautifully arranged tables, plush pillows, and delicate frames adding a stylish and personal touch. Everything felt thoughtfully curated, blending romance and Italian flair effortlessly.

One of the most unique touches was a display of local Italian delicacies: shelves lined with artisan pasta, vibrant jars of salsa, handmade cookies, and regional drinks. Guests were invited to partake in a charming, market-style experience—grabbing a bag and selecting their favorite treats to create a custom gift to take home. It was a beautiful nod to Italian culture and a heartfelt way to share the couple’s love of local flavors.

The entire evening was a celebration of love, style, and the magic of Lake Como—intimate, joyful, and unforgettable.
