The Gown: Ami in Full Bloom
Katia wore the Ami gown, a voluminous ballgown that exudes couture romance. Crafted with a strapless sweetheart neckline and semi-sheer corset, the gown is rich with texture—its intricate floral appliqués cascade from bodice to hem, creating movement and dimension that feel both regal and ethereal. Though grand in form, Ami’s airy layers allow it to move like a whisper, catching the Italian light with every step.
A Couture Accent: The Asymmetrical Strap
A defining detail of Katia’s look was her detachable asymmetrical floral strap, which added an effortless touch of drama. The delicate design climbed one shoulder like a floral vine, giving the silhouette modern femininity while preserving the gown’s classic foundation
The Veil: Seamless Perfection
Katia completed her bridal vision with a custom Mira Zwillinger veil, designed to mirror the gown’s florals with precision and artistry. The veil trailed behind her with grace during the ceremony overlooking the lake, flowing like a continuation of the dress itself. It wasn’t just an accessory—it was a breathtaking extension of the story.
Getting Ready in Zwillinger’s
Before stepping into her gown, Katia slipped into one of our Pre-Wedding Couture Robes from the Zwillinger’s line—a sheer, floor-length piece adorned with embroidered florals and subtle sparkle. It set the tone for a day of elegance, offering both beauty and ease in those quiet, meaningful moments of preparation.
A Gown Made for Lake Como
With its timeless elegance and storybook setting, Lake Como is a destination that calls for something truly extraordinary—and the Ami gown answered that call flawlessly. The intricate floral lace and romantic silhouette felt right at home among the historic architecture, sweeping lake views, and cascading florals of Katia’s ceremony. The gown’s grandeur complemented the majestic landscape, while its lightness and movement mirrored the breeze off the water. It was a dress made not just for a bride—but for this moment, this setting, and this love story
A Classic Como Exit: Love on the Lake
After exchanging vows, Katia and her groom shared a cinematic moment as they cruised across the serene waters of Lake Como in a vintage wooden speedboat. With mountains in the distance and the wind catching her gown’s train, Katia looked like a vision of romance in motion. The gentle motion of the boat, the golden Italian light, and the couture gown billowing behind her created a scene that felt lifted from a timeless film. It wasn’t just an exit—it was a Mira Zwillinger moment in full motion.
Evening Elegance: A Floral Fantasy Under the Stars
As the sun dipped below the hills, the celebration moved into a glass conservatory adorned with lush floral installations and sparkling chandeliers. Katia floated across the floor in her Ami gown, dancing beneath a canopy of candlelight and blooms. The contrast of her crisp ivory gown against the rich, romantic evening setting was pure visual poetry. Every detail—each petal, crystal, and flicker of light—worked together to make the night feel like a modern fairytale.
