THE ULTIMATE JA BRIDE
Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Justin Warshaw!
The moment we have all been waiting for was finally here.
Justin Alexander Warshaw, CEO / Creative Director of the Justin Alexander Group has married the lovely Kelsey Turchi, in a magical wedding nestled in the Tuscan Hills of Italy on September 30th.
The beautiful couple kicked off the weekend with a welcome party, at Borgo San Luigi. The guests enjoyed a tasting of incredible wines with some authentic Italian live music. Kelsey was exquisitely chic in her elegant suit by Viktor&Rolf Mariage. The two cheers-ed to forever, surrounded by close friends and family from all over the globe. After an incredible plate of Italian cuisine, lots of shared toasts by their most important guests, and some sweets to top it off, the party ended in preparation for their big day the very next morning.
The wedding and ceremony took place at the historic Castello di Celsa in Siena, Italy, dating back to the 13th century. The location was lush with greenery from the gardens all the way up the vines of the castle, romantic architecture, and spectacular views of the Italian countryside. The weather called for rain, and the morning started out indeed foggy, until just one hour before Justin and Kelsey’s first look... The sun came out, the clouds cleared, and it provided the most magical setting for their first moments together as bride and groom.
For the ceremony, Kelsey wore a custom Justin Alexander gown. The gown was customized with personal embroidery, handwritten by Justin himself, and a magnificent dramatic veil to match. The guests entered the garden, underneath gorgeous floral archways, and were greeted by a string quartet.
Justin entered the ceremony, wearing a dapper ivory Ralph Lauren tuxedo, with Christian Louboutin shoes.
The guests stood as Kelsey and her father entered the ceremony. Justin’s eyes were locked on Kelsey the entire time. Justin and Kelsey exchanged their personalized vows and the two shared their first kiss as bride and groom.
After the ceremony it was time for the reception! Kelsey surprised the groom by wearing his very favorite design, Style "Bobbie" from the Justin Alexander Signature collection with a custom matching veil.
The guests enjoyed an authentic Tuscan menu made by the amazing chefs at Guidi Lenci Catering. The reception space was decorated in twinkling lights, more florals, and beautiful Italian dinnerware. There was a gelato cart, and Kelsey and Justin helped create their wedding cake on the spot by handmaking it together in front of their guests.
After the dessert, the couple invited their guests to join them outside for a spectacular fireworks display in the gardens before they shared their first dance to “Find Someone Like You,” by Snohaalegra
Later, Kelsey changed into a short halter Justin Alexander gown with captivating sparkle to dance the night away! Not only did Kelsey have a few outfit changes, but Justin also changed into a black Ralph Lauren tuxedo jacket and his Nike Jordan’s x Travis Scott for a more relaxed and fun look!
The next day, the couple hosted a bridal brunch where Kelsey wore a custom Lillian West floral two-piece design.
To help bring their entire wedding day into a reality, the couple had the pleasure to work with wedding planner, Primavera Dreams, and David Bastianoni (Alessia Franco) Photography & Waterfall Visuals Videography were there to capture all of the weekend’s events.
