A Glamorous Summer Wedding at Relais Villa Vittoria Lake Como

Anastasia Ivanova and Sylvain Gloux, known as the Sylvanoffs, pulled off a stunning DIY wedding at Lake Como on a $61K budget, saving 50-75% compared to local planners' quotes. The celebration featured Sylvain’s James Bond-style seaplane arrival, a $250K Riva Ariston boat for the bride, and a surprise painting unveiling. Photographed by Cristiano Ostinelli, their wedding at the exclusive Relais Villa Vittoria included a private boat tour, family-friendly accommodations, and a personal touch with Anastasia’s portrait gift to Sylvain. Their advice: take control, dream big, and never give up on making your vision a reality.
