If unique, lavish and non-traditional are among your dream wedding buzzwords, today's avant garde wedding inspiration at Villa Pizzo on Lake Como is for you. Think opulent gowns, vibrant florals and whimsical details, all woven together with exquisite styling by Erato Flessa of 5th Muse - a luxury event designer based in Athens, Greece.

Inspired by the playful spirt of Notes on 'Camp' - the famous 1964 essay by Susan Sontag that brought the aesthetic to mainstream consciousness - this striking editorial brings Sontag’s themes of irony and extravagance to life. Stunning gowns by bridal designers Karen Sabag and Celia Kritharioti perfectly embody the bold and playful essence of camp, while Villa Pizzo’s opulent backdrop merges historic charm with modern sophistication.

"Delightful details abound," explains Erato Flessa. "Handcrafted calligraphy by Kurniawan Ho Wijaya adds an artistic flair, while an extraordinary wedding cake resembling a bird’s egg brings a whimsical touch. The vibrant florals by Flowers Living create a lush, colorful environment, and Antigoni Livieratou's bird-inspired make-up adds a touch of fantasy

"This editorial transforms Sontag’s 'Camp' into a playful and sophisticated wedding experience, proving that embracing the extraordinary can turn a wedding into a celebration of uniqueness. At Villa Pizzo, high fashion meets imaginative grandeur in a setting that is both unforgettable and enchanting."
