A Tuscan Reverie
Matt & Kylia’s October wedding at La Casa Toscana drew inspiration from the romance of the Italian countryside, translating its effortless elegance into a celebration that felt entirely their own.
There are weddings that feel beautifully styled, and then there are weddings that seem to belong to their setting.
Matt & Kylia’s October wedding was the latter.
Kylia, as one-half of the sister duo behind KY & FRAN @babesontrend, brought her eye for fashion and style to the day, creating a celebration that felt polished while still deeply personal. Their wedding was later featured by Style Me Pretty, a fitting recognition of a day filled with thoughtful details and a strong visual point of view.
For us, it was especially beautiful to watch their vision unfold across the estate. Sage green, soft florals, warm wood, and Mediterranean-inspired touches came together naturally among the gardens and architecture of La Casa Toscana.
A Garden in Bloom
Sage green appeared throughout the bridal party, echoing the surrounding landscape, while guests brought their own expression through a lively collection of colorful gowns. Parasols added an almost cinematic touch to the afternoon, their silhouettes moving through the gardens as the celebration unfolded.
We loved seeing the estate remain so present in the composition. The gardens, the architecture, the open air and the shifting light became part of the wedding itself.
For us, this is where the Tuscan influence of their wedding became especially beautiful. Matt and Kylia allowed the inspiration to live naturally within the setting, using color, texture, music, and thoughtful details to create a feeling reminiscent of the Italian countryside.
Their florals carried that same sensibility. Green, white, and light pink florals by Nandina Grove brought a soft romantic quality to the day, while wooden chairs kept the setting grounded in its natural surroundings.
Nothing competed with the landscape.
Instead, the elements felt completely at home among the gardens and estate.
The result was an aesthetic that felt refined yet effortless, romantic without becoming overly ornate. It was the kind of elegance that comes from allowing beautiful surroundings to remain part of the celebration.
The Details in Between
Music was part of the celebration from the very beginning.
Played by Emma on the harp, the music accompanied the ceremony, drifting softly through the estate and among the surrounding greenery. There was something especially romantic about hearing the instrument in an open garden setting, its delicate sound creating an atmosphere that felt intimate, unhurried, and deeply connected to the landscape.
Rather than simply providing a soundtrack, the harp became part of the setting itself. Its notes carried through the ceremony as guests gathered beneath the Florida sky, adding a sense of quiet elegance to the exchange of vows. As the afternoon continued, that same feeling lingered, creating a seamless thread between the ceremony and the celebration that followed.
When guests entered the reception, the details shifted from ceremony to celebration.
An entire wall of champagne glasses greeted them, each one ready for the evening ahead. Rows of glass caught the light, creating a display that felt festive and refined without becoming excessive.
It was an entrance designed to be remembered.
The champagne wall did more than provide a beautiful first impression. It invited guests to pause, gather, and begin the evening together. After the intimacy of the ceremony, it offered a natural transition into celebration, setting a tone that was elegant, generous, and effortlessly convivial.
Some of the most memorable details were then found in the smaller touches throughout the reception, the elements that brought the celebration to life without asking for attention.
Fruit became part of the bar styling, adding warmth, color, and a sense of Mediterranean abundance. Set among the glassware and bottles, the fruit felt natural to the setting, bringing a touch of the relaxed generosity often associated with Mediterranean entertaining. It was decorative without feeling overly arranged, adding texture and color while remaining beautifully connected to the overall atmosphere.
These details were not there simply to complete a look. They gave the celebration its character.
A thoughtful bar, a wall of champagne glasses, the soft sound of live music, and the natural abundance of fruit all became part of the experience guests moved through throughout the afternoon and evening. Each detail revealed itself naturally, contributing to a celebration that felt layered rather than overly styled.
That was where the Mediterranean influence felt especially beautiful. It lived not only in the architecture or gardens, but in the way the celebration welcomed people in: generously, beautifully, and with a sense of ease. There was room to linger over a glass of champagne, gather around the bar, listen to the music, and take in the gardens as the light began to change.
The result was a celebration where the smallest details carried as much atmosphere as the grandest ones. Nothing felt added simply for the sake of decoration. Each element had a place, a purpose, and a part to play in the experience of the day.
As Day Turned to Night
Giant Millefoglie Wedding Cake by Sospiri
As afternoon gave way to evening, the celebration began to shift into something more relaxed and spirited.
Earlier in the evening, Matt and Kylia gathered around their giant Millefoglie wedding cake by Sospiri, an Italian-style dessert made with delicate layers of crisp pastry and cream. The couple helped finish the dessert themselves, arranging fresh blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries across its delicate layers before adding a final dusting of powdered sugar. The result was as beautiful as it was personal, turning the cake into a moment of the celebration itself.
Later, the champagne tower became its own moment of celebration. Coupe glasses rose in tiers as Matt and Kylia poured champagne over the tower, watching it cascade from one glass to the next. It brought a sense of occasion and playful spectacle to the evening, drawing their guests closer as the celebration grew livelier.
From there, the energy continued to build.
Matt and Kylia took to the dance floor together, sharing their first moments of the night as newlyweds before joining their guests in the celebration. With Total Entertainment behind the music, the evening carried on with dancing, laughter, and celebration well into the night.
The refined atmosphere of the afternoon gradually gave way to something more carefree. What began with the quiet beauty of the estate evolved into a spirited wedding celebration, with the gardens becoming the backdrop for dancing, laughter, and a night worth remembering.
A Tuscan Reverie
Tuscany was woven into every part of Matt and Kylia’s celebration.
From the gardens and Mediterranean landscape to the harp music, abundant fruit, Italian Millefoglie, and long afternoon spent outdoors, the day captured the romance of a Tuscan estate while surrounded by the beauty of La Casa Toscana.
For us, it was especially meaningful to see Matt and Kylia embrace the experience so fully. Their fashion-forward style and thoughtful details felt right at home among the gardens, architecture, and open-air beauty of the estate.
The day was beautifully documented by Abby Jiu, with Ezra Kim capturing it on film and IsiMarketing Co preserving the moments as they unfolded.
Looking back, what stays with us is the progression of the day. Color moving through the gardens. Guests entering a champagne-filled reception. A Millefoglie assembled by the couple themselves. Champagne cascading through the tower later that evening. And Matt and Kylia dancing together before giving themselves fully to the celebration.
It was a wedding steeped in the romance of Tuscany, brought to life in the heart of Fort Myers.
From the first welcome to the last dance, Matt and Kylia’s wedding was a Tuscan reverie in its own right.
