NICOLETTE & JASON

Fort Myers, FL

La Casa Toscana

We found Nicolette the perfect venue for her Italian villa–inspired fairytale wedding at La Casa Toscana. The property, reminiscent of the charm and romance of Lake Como in northern Italy, offered the perfect canvas for Nicolette’s vision. Every detail was chosen to highlight the villa-like charm of the space and transport guests straight to Italy without ever leaving Florida.

The ceremony was held on the lawn with the gazebo and serene lake as the backdrop—a setting that felt like a scene straight from Europe. Because Nicolette is a former Miss USA, it was only fitting that guest seating was designed in a runway style, creating a dramatic and unforgettable entrance. The aisle, lined with lush florals, framed the moment beautifully. And Nicolette, of course, couldn’t walk that aisle in just any gown—she wore a semi-custom, heavily beaded ballgown that shimmered with every step, adding to the magic of the moment.

Cocktail hour took place on the terrazza with live music setting the tone. Guests were treated to thoughtful touches like flip flops for dancing and pashminas for the cool evening breeze. From there, they were guided to dinner by a strolling violinist, walking past a gallery of beautifully displayed portraits of the couple beneath glittering crystal chandeliers.

As the path opened, the space revealed pergolas draped in breezy white fabric, cascading florals, and sparkling chandeliers overhead. Dining tables carried a chic black-and-white palette, adding a modern twist to the rustic Italian villa vibe. It was the perfect fusion of timeless elegance and fresh sophistication.

After dinner, the energy shifted as the dance floor opened and guests were greeted with cowboy hats and feather boas for a playful, unforgettable party. Wedding cake was paired with milk and cookies, and later in the night, late-night sliders kept everyone fueled for dancing. The evening ended with a dazzling cold spark exit, sending Jason and Nicolette off in spectacular style.
