As the venue approaches this exciting milestone, it also enters a new chapter: the next generation of the Wrigley family is now at the helm, bringing fresh energy, new ideas, and ambitious plans to build on the strong foundations of previous years.

With landscaped gardens, tranquil lakes, and sweeping countryside providing a serene backdrop, The Barns offers endless possibilities for breathtaking imagery.

Wedding Planner Sarita Toor explains, “Choosing this location for a styled shoot felt effortless. I wanted a venue that could inspire both emotionally and visually, somewhere couples could truly see themselves. I was also intentional about creating a multicultural narrative, styling the bride and groom in Indian attire. The golden and neutral tones of the fabrics and details created a beautiful contrast with the softness of the English countryside, yet everything felt completely in harmony. For me, it was about more than just showcasing a venue; it was about capturing a feeling and celebrating how different cultures can come together so seamlessly in a space like this.”

The Barns at Delbury Hall provide a variety of ceremony settings. Outdoor ceremonies are framed by manicured gardens and lakes, with the gentle beauty of the surrounding hills. Indoor ceremonies in the Coach House offer soaring ceilings, twinkling lights, and abundant greenery, a versatile canvas for personalised styling. Couples may also choose to marry at the picturesque St Peter’s Church, just moments from the estate, before returning to celebrate with family and friends.

Photographer Stuart Wood adds, “This, to me, is a very special place that pulls the best out of you behind the camera. The light moves beautifully through the spaces; the colours and textures of the outfits bring real depth to the pictures, and the calibre of the suppliers means every detail is considered and rich. It all came together in a way that pushed me to explore more, lean into the atmosphere, and create imagery that I am truly proud of.”

As part of the venue’s continued evolution, new guest accommodation is also being introduced this year. The Walled Garden Pods offer a tranquil stay for wedding guests within the estate’s historic gardens, while the newly renovated Fernhalls Mill cottage provides additional accommodation moments from the venue, perfect for couples, families, and close friends wishing to extend celebrations.

Lucia Wrigley, who runs the venue with her husband Jack and father-in-law Patrick, shares, “It’s always a joy to collaborate with passionate, like-minded suppliers, and this shoot was a particularly special example of that. Each creative element, from the florals to the styling, complemented the space beautifully. It was wonderful to see everyone come together and breathe new life into the venue, infusing it with energy, creativity, and a fresh, inspired vision.”

What truly sets The Barns at Delbury Hall apart is its family-run ethos, visible in every facet of this stunning venue.

A venue with heart, heritage, and vision, The Barns at Delbury Hall is ready for its next chapter.

Set high above the Mediterranean, where the mountains fall softly into the sea, their wedding unfolded with a natural elegance that didn’t try too hard. It simply was.

The morning began in stillness. A gown, delicately embroidered with floral appliqué, hung in the doorway, catching the light as if it already knew it was about to become part of something unforgettable. Soft textures, sheer layers, and intricate detail gave it a quiet confidence. Not loud, not overstated, just beautiful in a way that draws you in.

Outside, Mallorca was doing what Mallorca does best. Warm light, olive trees, that endless blue horizon. Everything felt open, expansive, full of possibility.

The Style

Kerry’s look was modern romance with a soft edge. A gown by Berta, sheer in all the right places, with floral detailing that felt almost weightless against the skin. It moved with her, rather than around her, creating that rare balance between structure and freedom.

Thomas and his groomsmen leaned into a relaxed Mediterranean elegance. Light tailoring, neutral tones, effortless confidence. Nothing stiff, nothing forced. Just a group of men who looked completely at ease, which is exactly how it should be.

Together, they set the tone. Refined, but never rigid. Stylish, but never trying.

The Setting

Son Marroig is one of those venues that doesn’t need an introduction, but still manages to surprise you.

The ceremony took place beneath its iconic marble temple, perched above the sea. Guests arrived in a moment rather than a setup. White tones, soft florals, and the gentle movement of parasols created an atmosphere that felt both intimate and expansive.

As Kerry walked down the aisle, the light shifted just slightly, catching the details of her dress, the softness of the setting, the stillness of the moment. It was cinematic without trying to be.

And then, just like that, they were married.

The Experience

From there, the day flowed. No hard transitions, no sharp edges. Just a seamless progression from ceremony to celebration.

Champagne towers glistened in the late afternoon sun, guests leaning in, laughing, sharing stories. The energy was light, joyful, and completely unforced. You could feel the connection between people, not just the day’s schedule.

The dining experience, curated by Aire Catering, brought a refined yet relaxed approach to food. Elegant, thoughtful, and rooted in quality. It complemented the setting perfectly, adding another layer to the overall experience rather than trying to dominate it.

As the sun dipped, the mood shifted again. Softer, warmer, more intimate.

The Evening

Then came the celebration.

Under strings of lights and the glow of sparklers, Kerry and Thomas walked into the evening surrounded by their people. It was one of those moments you don’t choreograph. You just let it happen.

Music carried the night, energy building naturally, guests fully present, fully engaged. There was no sense of performance, just pure enjoyment. The kind of atmosphere where time feels slightly suspended.

And that’s always the sign of a truly great wedding.

The Details That Matter

What made this wedding stand out wasn’t just the location or the styling, though both were exceptional.

It was the feeling.

The balance between elegance and ease. The way every element, from the floral design by Fusión Deco to the seamless planning by Cygnus Events, worked together without ever feeling overdesigned.

Even the quieter touches, live painting capturing the moment in real time, thoughtful guest experiences, and perfectly timed transitions added depth without distraction.

Everything had intention, but nothing felt forced.

The Team Behind It

A wedding like this doesn’t happen by chance. It’s shaped by the right people, working in sync:

• Planning: Cygnus Events – Member of 5 Star Weddings
• Venue: Son Marroig
• Catering: Aire Catering Mallorca
• Decoration: Fusión Deco
• Music & Sound: LoMusic
• Lighting & Rentals: Exclusive 4 Events
• Photography: Sentida Studio

Each one plays their role, elevating the experience and allowing Kerry and Thomas to simply be present in their day.

Final Thought

• This is what modern luxury weddings are moving towards.
• Less about excess, more about feeling. Less about perfection, more about presence.
• Kerry and Thomas didn’t just host a wedding. They created a moment in time, one that felt personal, intentional, and beautifully real.
• And in a setting like Son Marroig, with that view, that light, and that energy, it’s hard to imagine a more perfect way to begin.

For Carlotta and Elisa, this extraordinary island was never just a backdrop for weddings. It was the foundation for something deeper.

Pangiunìa Wedding was created from a shared vision to design celebrations that feel authentic, culturally rooted, and unmistakably personal. With over a decade of experience as a studio and more than twenty years of combined expertise in destination weddings, Carlotta and Elisa have built a reputation for crafting refined Sicilian celebrations for couples from across the United Kingdom, the United States, and Europe.

Their philosophy is simple. A wedding should not look like anyone else’s. It should feel like yours.

Why They Founded Pangiunìa Wedding

The studio was born from a desire to protect the integrity of place.

Carlotta, deeply connected to Sicily, saw how easily the island’s beauty could be reduced to a postcard image. Elisa, who guides international couples planning from abroad, recognised how overwhelming destination wedding logistics can become without the right structure.

Together, they created Pangiunìa Wedding to bridge emotion and organisation. To honour Sicily properly while ensuring couples felt calm, informed, and fully supported.

From its earliest days, the studio focused on quality over volume. Each wedding is approached as a collaboration, shaped by listening first and designing second.

The Founders

Carlotta leads from Sicily, bringing intuition, empathy, and deep local knowledge. She understands the island’s rhythms, its artisans, venues, and traditions.

“Sicily has a soul that cannot be replicated. My role is to help couples feel connected to it, not just see it. Every wedding we create is shaped by their story and by the atmosphere of this land, so the celebration feels honest, warm, and truly theirs.”
Carlotta, Co Founder

Elisa, based in London, offers clarity and structure. She works closely with couples planning from abroad, ensuring seamless communication and aligned expectations from the beginning.

“Planning a destination wedding should feel exciting, not overwhelming. We combine structure with sensitivity, guiding our couples step by step so they can enjoy the journey and trust that every detail is handled with care.”
Elisa, Co Founder

Their combined perspective is what sets Pangiunìa apart. Local authenticity supported by international precision.

Destination Weddings in Sicily, Thoughtfully Designed

A destination wedding is not just an event. It is an experience that begins the moment guests arrive.

Pangiunìa specialises in full-scale destination planning, guiding couples through venue selection, supplier curation, legal or symbolic ceremony arrangements, guest logistics, and multi-day event design.

Many celebrations extend across several days. A welcome dinner beneath olive trees. A ceremony framed by baroque architecture. An evening reception overlooking the Mediterranean. A farewell brunch filled with laughter and Sicilian flavours.

Every element is carefully studied to reflect the couple’s personality while honouring the island’s spirit.

The process is comprehensive yet calm. Structured but never rigid. Luxury here is expressed through thoughtful detail and seamless coordination.

Sicily as the Perfect Setting

Sicily offers an extraordinary variety within one island.

• The dramatic coastline of Taormina.
• The historic grandeur of Palermo.
• The baroque elegance of Noto.
• The rural intimacy of the countryside.

Carlotta and Elisa guide couples to venues that align with their vision and guest experience expectations.

Among the most exceptional locations for a Pangiunìa wedding are:

Belmond Grand Hotel Timeo

An iconic terrace overlooking Mount Etna and the Ionian Sea, ideal for elegant panoramic celebrations.

San Domenico Palace, Taormina, A Four Seasons Hotel

A historic monastery setting with dramatic coastal views and cloistered gardens.

Villa Igiea, a Rocco Forte Hotel

Art Nouveau sophistication by the sea, perfect for refined multi-day weddings.

Dimora delle Balze

A countryside estate blending minimal elegance with authentic Sicilian character.

Verdura Resort, a Rocco Forte Hotel

A contemporary coastal resort suited to larger destination celebrations.

Each venue offers a distinct mood. Pangiunìa ensures the atmosphere aligns seamlessly with the couple’s story.

The Planning Journey

From the initial consultation through to the final dance, Carlotta and Elisa oversee every element:

• Venue research and selection
• Budget guidance and timeline creation
• Vendor sourcing and contract management
• Design concept and styling direction
• On the day of coordination

Couples are free to focus on emotion while the team manages execution behind the scenes.

The goal is simple. To create a wedding that feels authentic, immersive, and unforgettable.

Founded and led by Federica Tamborini, Joy Wedding has become one of Italy’s most refined wedding planning studios, trusted by international couples who value elegance, discretion, and a deeply personal approach. Her work feels timeless rather than fashionable, emotional rather than theatrical, and impeccably considered from first conversation to final farewell.

This is wedding planning as an art form, guided by calm expertise and an unwavering respect for the couple’s story.

A philosophy rooted in meaning, not performance

At the heart of Joy Wedding lies a simple but powerful belief. Every celebration should reflect who the couple truly are, not what social media expects them to be.

Federica approaches each wedding as a unique narrative. She listens carefully, observing how couples speak about one another, how they imagine their guests will feel, and how they want the day to unfold. From this, she builds an experience that feels authentic and emotionally grounded.

There is no template here. No formula repeated across venues or regions. Whether the setting is a lakeside villa, a historic palazzo, or a countryside estate, the result always feels deeply personal and quietly luxurious.

A master of Italian destinations

Joy Wedding works across Italy’s most coveted wedding destinations, from Lake Como and the Italian Lakes to Tuscany, the Amalfi Coast, and beyond. Federica’s strength lies not only in her aesthetic sensibility but in her profound understanding of place.

She knows how light behaves at different times of day. She understands how architecture, landscape, and season influence atmosphere. She works with trusted local vendors who share her standards, ensuring that every element, from floral design to catering, music, and lighting, unfolds seamlessly.

For destination couples, this local expertise becomes invaluable. Logistics, permissions, timing, cultural nuances, all are handled with clarity and calm, allowing couples to remain present and fully immersed in the experience.

Full-service planning with editorial precision

Joy Wedding offers a comprehensive wedding-planning service, guiding couples from initial concept through execution. This includes venue scouting, budget management, supplier curation, design direction, timeline creation, and on-the-day coordination.

What sets Federica apart is her editorial eye. She understands balance, proportion, and flow. Décor never overwhelms the setting. Styling enhances rather than competes. Every visual choice feels intentional, from ceremony layouts to table compositions and lighting transitions.

The result is weddings that photograph beautifully but, more importantly, feel extraordinary to be part of.

The Joy Wedding aesthetic

The Joy Wedding style is refined, romantic, and natural. Think soft palettes, elegant textures, thoughtful floral compositions, and a sense of ease that allows beauty to breathe.

There is a quiet confidence in the way Federica works. She does not oversell. She does not overdecorate. Instead, she curates moments, allowing emotion and atmosphere to take centre stage.

This approach resonates deeply with couples seeking luxury that feels intelligent and emotionally resonant rather than performative.

What couples say

The most telling measure of Joy Wedding’s success is the loyalty and affection expressed by past clients. Reviews consistently highlight Federica’s calm presence, impeccable organisation, and ability to translate ideas into reality with remarkable precision.

Couples speak of feeling supported, understood, and reassured throughout the process. Many describe her as a guiding presence rather than simply a planner, someone who anticipates challenges before they arise and handles every detail with grace.

International couples, in particular, praise her clarity of communication and her ability to make complex destination planning feel effortless and reassuring.

Who Joy Wedding is for

Joy Wedding is ideally suited to couples who value quality over quantity, intimacy over spectacle, and meaning over trends. Couples who appreciate design, but not excess. Who want their guests to feel cared for and immersed, rather than impressed.

This is planning for those who understand that true luxury lies in confidence, discretion, and thoughtful execution.

Why Joy Wedding stands apart

In a crowded wedding landscape, Joy Wedding occupies a rare space. It is neither traditional nor trend-driven. It is quietly modern, deeply respectful, and profoundly human.

Federica Tamborini brings together organisation, creativity, emotional intelligence, and a refined Italian sensibility that feels increasingly rare. Her weddings do not shout for attention. They linger in memory.

For couples seeking a destination wedding in Italy that feels elegant, intentional, and beautifully personal, Joy Wedding is not simply a choice. It is a collaboration.

This luxury editorial shoot at Masseria Salamina captures that feeling precisely. Not spectacle, not excess, but confidence. The kind of confidence that comes from history, restraint, and an understanding that true luxury is never loud.

A Historic Setting with Modern Intent

Built in the 17th century as a fortified masseria, Masseria Salamina stands as a symbol of Puglia’s architectural heritage. Its noble walls, internal courtyards, and rhythmic stone forms create a visual language that feels both grounded and elevated. For this editorial, the venue became more than a backdrop; it became a character in the story.

The aim was clear. To present Puglia as a destination for couples who value elegance with meaning. Couples who are drawn to authenticity, to places that feel lived in rather than styled for effect. Through natural light, thoughtful composition, and a contemporary editorial eye, the shoot frames the masseria as a canvas for refined destination weddings in Italy.

The Vision Behind the Editorial

At the heart of this project is a belief in locality, expertise, and cultural fluency. The editorial highlights the role of a locally based wedding planner, someone who understands not only logistics, but rhythm, tradition, and nuance.

Marita Campanella brings this philosophy to life. Her approach is rooted in precision, discretion, and a bespoke sensibility that resonates deeply with international couples. For those planning from abroad, working with a planner who knows the region intimately transforms the experience. Every choice becomes intentional, every detail aligned, every moment considered.

This is where destination weddings move beyond aesthetics and into experience.

Craftsmanship, Collaboration, and Quiet Excellence

The editorial came together through a carefully curated collective of Puglia-based creatives and artisans, each chosen for their mastery and their shared understanding of refined luxury. From couture bridal styling to floral design, from beauty to set design, every element was developed with sensitivity to place and proportion.

Rather than overpowering the setting, the styling works in dialogue with it. Soft textures against stone. Contemporary silhouettes set within historic architecture. Jewellery that catches the light without demanding attention. The result is visual storytelling that feels effortless yet deeply considered.

A Destination Defined by Authenticity

What this editorial ultimately conveys is a sense of trust. Trust in the location. Trust in the professionals behind the scenes. Trust in the idea that luxury can be subtle, rooted, and emotionally resonant.

Puglia continues to attract couples seeking something different from the expected Italian wedding narrative. Less performance, more presence. Less formality, more feeling. Masseria Salamina offers that balance effortlessly, making it an exceptional choice for couples who value heritage, intimacy, and understated sophistication.

The Definitive Guide for High-End Brides

Luxury weddings in 2026 are not louder. They are smarter, more intentional, more considered.

What we are seeing at the very top of the market is a move away from spectacle for spectacle’s sake, and toward weddings that feel deeply personal, culturally aware, and emotionally rich, while still operating at an extraordinary level of investment.

This is not about trends that appear on social media and disappear within a season. These are the defining shifts shaping how high-net-worth couples across Europe, the UK, and beyond are celebrating.

I. The Quiet Luxury and Old Money Aesthetic

Quiet luxury has moved decisively into the wedding world. In 2026, refinement speaks louder than embellishment. Bridal fashion leads the conversation. Architectural silhouettes, sculpted bodices, Basque waistlines, and archival references are replacing overt embellishment. Fabrics matter more than sparkle. Structure matters more than excess.

Ceremonies follow the same philosophy. Thoughtfully composed spaces, restrained palettes, and editorial styling that feels effortless but unmistakably expensive. Everything is intentional, nothing is overstyled. This aesthetic is not minimalist in budget. It is maximalist in taste.

View our Luxury Wedding Dress Gallery for 2026 structural masterpieces.

II. Sustainable Opulence (The High End Eco Shift)

In 2026, sustainability is no longer a niche choice; it is the ultimate hallmark of luxury. Today’s elite couples are moving away from waste-heavy traditions in favour of conscious grandeur.

This shift shows up first in florals. Meadowcore florals are replacing imported exotics with living, potted aisles and locally sourced wildflower installations that are replanted after the event. The look is softer, more natural, and more fashion-forward than it sounds, the kind of styling that feels effortless, yet extremely curated. The added elegance is that it is rooted in place and built with a lighter footprint.

Then comes the menu. Five-star catering has evolved into a new standard of zero-waste dining, where hyperlocal, farm-to-table ingredients take the lead, and everything is traceable. This is a luxury that knows where it came from. Pair it with organic, biodynamic vineyards, and you have a celebration that feels indulgent without being extractive.

Accessories complete the story. Lab-grown diamonds and recycled heirloom gold are becoming the leading choices for the 2026 bride who values transparency as much as sparkle. In a market where taste is increasingly defined by values, ethical choices now read as the most modern form of prestige.

III. Hyper Personalised Guest Experiences

The 2026 wedding is less about the couple and more about the curated journey of the guest. It is the transition from spectator to participant.

This is where luxury becomes experiential. Scent installations are setting the tone, custom wedding fragrances diffused throughout the venue, so the weekend has a signature, a sensory memory. The smartest couples take it one step further, sending guests home with personalised candles so the atmosphere lingers long after the final toast.

Entertainment is also becoming more collectable. Interactive art stations are replacing traditional photo booths, live sketch artists, calligraphy moments, and even poem-on-demand experiences, creating one-of-a-kind keepsakes. It feels intimate, elevated, and quietly unforgettable.

And yes, technology is now part of the highest-end hosting. AI-driven concierge apps are being used to provide guests with real-time itinerary updates, local recommendations, and instant photo sharing. Done well, it feels invisible. It removes friction, keeps the weekend flowing, and lets the celebration feel effortless.

Find the visionaries who can bring this to life in our Bespoke Wedding Planners Directory.

IV. Maximalist Tablescapes and Floral Art

While fashion leans restrained, tablescapes move in the opposite direction.

In 2026, florals are no longer arrangements; they are installations. Sculptural, layered, and expressive. High contrast colour palettes, unexpected textures, and mixed materials such as velvet, stone, and crystal create tables that feel more like gallery pieces than décor.

Traditional bouquets are often replaced entirely by immersive floral environments. The table becomes the visual anchor of the celebration.

This is a floral design as art direction.

V. The Multi-Day Destination Itinerary

The one-day wedding is officially over for the luxury tier. 2026 is the year of the wedding weekend odyssey.

Day 1, the welcome immersion. Not just a rehearsal dinner, but a local cultural experience, think truffle hunting in Tuscany or a private yacht sunset in the Amalfi Coast.

Day 2, the main event. A seamless blend of ceremony and high concept gala.

Day 3, the recovery soirée. Wellness-focused brunches featuring IV vitamin drips, guided meditation, and poolside relaxation.

Defining the Future of Luxury Weddings

Taken together, these trends point to one clear truth.

Luxury weddings in 2026 are about meaning, mastery, and memory. They are less performative and more purposeful. Less about display and more about experience.

For couples, it is about celebrating with intention. For professionals, it is about rising to meet a more discerning audience than ever before.
