An Elegant Wedding at Chateau Mcely

Luxury destination wedding in the Czech Republic. Lucie and Tomáš knew from the very beginning that their wedding had to feel Italian. Not loud or theatrical, but authentic. Relaxed, warm, full of shared moments, beautiful food, and effortless elegance. Their vision was a luxury summer wedding focused on experience rather than schedule — a celebration where time slows down. Their three-day wedding,g planned on a full-service basis for 65 guests, embraced the spirit of dolce far niente — calm on the surface, flawlessly organized behind the scenes.

Why the Czech Republic for a Destination Wedding

The Czech Republic offers something increasingly rare: historic venues, refined elegance, outstanding cuisine, and exceptional value.All in the heart of Europe.

For couples from the United States, it is an ideal destination wedding location: easily accessible, culturally rich, architecturally stunning, and far less crowded than traditional European hotspots, while still delivering a true sense of old-world charm and sophistication.

This wedding perfectly illustrates how a luxury destination wedding in the Czech Republic can feel intimate, relaxed, and deeply personal.

The Creative Concept: Italy, Thoughtfully Reimagined

The brief was clear — an outdoor celebration inspired by Italy, designed to feel natural, light, and unforced, while respecting Central European conditions. This led to the creation of a central tented lounge, which became the heart of the entire wedding.

Rather than a backup plan, the lounge was conceived as a destination within the destination — a refined micro-world with a true Italian atmosphere. It was here that guests gathered, dined, celebrated, and danced. The space held the energy of the wedding together, regardless of weather, and created a sense of comfort, elegance, and continuity throughout the day.

A Ceremony Beneath a Centuries-Old Oak

The ceremony took place beneath a majestic centuries-old oak tree and carried an almost mystical calm. Guests followed a gently winding path lined with floral islands that felt as though they had always belonged there.

This idea of flow and continuity was echoed in the table design — a circular head table symbolizing infinity, with a garden-style centerpiece at its core. It became a natural focal point and an intimate place for shared moments.

Wedding Design & Color Palette

The visual identity of the wedding was built around two delicate motifs: stripes and birds, symbols of lightness, freedom, and joy.

  • Outdoor areas featured playful summer colors and a relaxed yet elegant dress code
  • The castle interior was styled in gold and green tones, harmonized with the venue’s beige-gold architecture

The result was a timeless luxury wedding design — refined, understated, and effortlessly elegant.

Italian-Inspired Culinary Experience

Cuisine was a central part of the guest experience. The tented lounge became a celebration of Italian flavors and shared dining:

  • a live pizza station with freshly baked pizzas
  • Italian specialties inspired by traditional home cooking
  • a mobile cannoli bar, allowing guests to create their own combinations
  • a gelato bar — because no Italian-inspired wedding is complete without it

The evening continued around a custom cocktail bar with signature drinks, a dance floor, and live music. Scenic lighting unified the entire space, while fifty-year-old olive trees transformed the lounge into a small Tuscan-inspired world.

Wedding Entertainment & Personal Details

Lucie and Tomáš share a love for dogs, and this playful detail became part of the celebration. Custom wedding merchandise included caps with humorous slogans and personalized soda cans featuring their dog, Amie. The caps quickly became a favorite — worn, photographed, and enjoyed throughout the evening.

One of the most memorable moments was the wedding cake experience. Together with their pastry chef, the couple created their cake live in front of their guests. The atmosphere felt like a friendly competition finale — full of laughter, cheering, and shared excitement. The result was not only a beautiful cake, but a genuine experience.

The couple owns a traditional glassworks, where glass is still hand-blown using historic techniques. Guests received custom glass vases with wedding bird motifs — a timeless, personal keepsake that reflected craftsmanship, heritage, and intention.
