After thirteen years together, Trieu and Noorie Ana chose to celebrate their Tuscan destination wedding in a way that felt entirely their own. Noorie Ana is a London-based fashion and lifestyle creator known for her considered approach to style and everyday living, someone who finds beauty in the details and brings a quiet, confident eye to everything she does, from the soft tailoring and timeless pieces she shares on her YouTube channel to the thoughtful vlogs and styling ideas that have built her a devoted following. That same sensibility shaped every corner of their wedding day.

Set among cypress-lined avenues, soft stone and the quiet stillness of Villa Cetinale, the day unfolded gently, with a calm that carried from morning through to evening. Even their approach to the wedding registry reflected that philosophy, choosing gifts that spoke to how they actually live and spend time together. "Since so much of my work involves storytelling and creative projects, it felt natural to approach the wedding in a similar way," Noorie Ana shares. With a ceremony led by family and a floral story rooted in heritage, they kept their focus on a handful of choices that carried throughout the day, bringing everything together in a way that felt unmistakably theirs.

All the Details from Trieu & Noorie Ana’s Timeless Destination Wedding at Villa Cetinale

From keepsake invitations and a Tuscan-inspired menu to a wedding gift list built around experiences and lasting objects, Trieu and Noorie Ana share how they shaped every layer of their celebration at Villa Cetinale, with the guest experience very much at the heart of it all.

Engagement Story

The story behind their destination wedding begins on Lake Maggiore, where Trieu proposed on their ten-year anniversary. He had arranged a private tour of Isola Bella, intimate, cinematic and far removed from the pace of everyday life. "As we were walking through the gardens, there was a string duo playing our favourite song, Perfect by Ed Sheeran, and that was the moment Trieu proposed," Noorie Ana recalls.

"He had organised everything himself, the private tour, the musicians and a beautiful dinner in the gardens afterwards." The care he had put into it stayed with her long after. "It was romantic and completely unexpected," she says, a feeling that carried naturally into the way they approached their wedding in Tuscany.

Wedding Planning

With a strong instinct for aesthetics shaped by her work across fashion and lifestyle, Noorie Ana approached their Tuscan destination wedding with a clear sense of how she wanted it to feel from the very beginning. "I took a very hands-on approach to planning and was closely involved in shaping the creative direction and sourcing many of the suppliers myself," she shares. Each decision was made carefully, with a focus on finding people whose work naturally aligned with the vision they had in mind.

Working alongside the team at Moretti Events allowed the logistics to run seamlessly on the ground. "They helped coordinate the day and manage everything at the venue, which allowed it all to flow once we arrived in Tuscany," she explains.

Wedding Venue

For their Tuscan destination wedding, Villa Cetinale offered a setting that felt both effortlessly beautiful and deeply personal. “We were drawn to the quietness and history of the estate,” Noorie Ana shares. Its symmetry, historic façade and expansive gardens created a backdrop that felt timeless, allowing every detail of the day to sit naturally within its surroundings.

"There was something about it that immediately felt right," Noorie Ana reflects. "It allowed the day to unfold without feeling staged, and created a calm atmosphere for the celebration." That ease carried throughout their Villa Cetinale wedding, with each part of the day flowing naturally from one setting to the next.

Bridal Outfit & Accessories

"I knew I wanted my bridal look to feel timeless and like me," Noorie Ana says, bringing the same considered approach to her outfit that she carries into her work. After trying many dresses, it was a made-to-order gown by Sept New York that truly resonated. "The silhouette felt timeless while still modern in the way it moved." Structured yet fluid, it carried beautifully through the gardens and across the gravel paths of their Tuscan destination wedding. She added buttons to the back of the drop waist, a quiet personal detail, and paired it with her dream French lace veil, whose softness contrasted gently with the villa's historic interiors and sunlit lawns.

As the day moved into evening, her styling shifted with it. "For dinner, I swapped the veil for a long tulle scarf by Sept New York, which softened the look and gave it a more contemporary feel." Comfort played a role too. "At the last minute, I switched from my Jimmy Choo heels into Miu Miu ballet flats, which ended up being perfect for the setting."

Later still, Noorie changed into a custom couture gown by Cagteks, designed with swan-inspired details -  a personal touch that echoed the symbolism woven quietly throughout the day.

Wedding Hair & Make-Up

Noorie Ana's bridal beauty look was soft, natural and completely in tune with the ease of the day. Her hair was styled in a loose, low updo with delicate strands framing her face, relaxed yet considered. It worked beautifully with her French lace veil, set just behind the crown and falling lightly down her back as she walked through the gardens.

Groom’s Style

Trieu's look was grounded in classic tailoring, bringing quiet confidence to the day. He wore a Tom Ford tuxedo paired with Dior shoes. "The look was classic and tailored, perfectly aligned with the timeless feel we wanted for the day," Noorie Ana shares, a natural extension of the overall aesthetic and entirely at home within their destination wedding in Tuscany.

Wedding Party Fashion

"My four sisters were my bridesmaids and they each wore different dresses in variations of a soft light pink," Noorie Ana explains. For her, having her sisters beside her was one of the most meaningful parts of the day, and the soft, cohesive palette allowed each of them to bring their own personality to the occasion. Trieu's groomsmen completed the picture in classic black tuxedos, creating a timeless look across the wedding party.

Wedding Flowers & Décor

Florals were among the most personal elements of their Tuscan destination wedding, shaping the look of the day through simplicity and repetition. "We chose to use only lilies throughout the entire wedding," Noorie Ana shares. "Both Bangladesh and Vietnam have native water lilies, so choosing a single flower that reflected both of our backgrounds felt quietly meaningful."

The bridal bouquet was a cascading arrangement, soft in movement and striking in form. Along the ceremony aisle, lilies were placed within large stone urns, their pale petals sitting naturally against the aged stone and greenery of the estate. "Lilies were also flowers I grew up with in London, and ones Trieu would often gift me," she adds. "Seeing the same flower repeated throughout the ceremony and reception created a feeling of continuity and emotional connection across the day."

Wedding Stationery

Trieu and Noorie Ana approached their wedding invitations with a tactile, experiential feel in mind. "Trieu designed a wedding website which became the central source of information for our guests," Noorie Ana explains. Alongside it, guests received keepsake boxes that doubled as wedding gifts for guests, each assembled to reflect the tone of the day. Inside was a candle from August & Piers, finished with a custom sleeve inspired by the colours and architecture of Villa Cetinale, along with personalised matchsticks, their soft citrus scent a subtle nod to the venue.

Those personal touches continued across the reception tables. "Menus for the day were designed by my sister, which added a deeply personal element to the tablescape," Noorie Ana says. "Name cards were shaped like swans, with each guest's name handwritten by my mum." Together, these details made every place within the wedding seating plan, feel special.

Wedding Catering

Wedding catering was led by Delizia, who worked closely with the couple to create a menu rooted in the season and local cuisine, perfectly in tune with their Tuscan destination wedding. "The meal began with a starter of courgette flower filled with burrata, served on a cherry tomato sauce with crispy white celery," Noorie Ana shares. The first course followed with handmade gigli pasta in a cacio e pepe style, finished with sage, red onion purée and sweet and sour red onion slices. For the main, guests chose between supreme chicken breast in a pistachio crust, beef fillet with green peppercorn sauce, or sea bass with cherry tomatoes and courgette.

Dessert was a classic millefoglie, layered with Chantilly cream and raspberries, and brought a more interactive moment to the evening. “We arranged for the cake to be assembled live in front of our guests and even had a turn piping the cream ourselves,” she adds.

“At the bar, there were also some small snacks for guests to nibble on,” Noorie Ana shares, “and dessert also included a beautiful tiramisu tower, which added a playful and indulgent touch as the celebration continued.”

Wedding Music & Entertainment

Music was woven thoughtfully into each part of their Tuscan destination wedding. A string quartet welcomed guests during the drinks reception, and as the ceremony began, a harp accompanied the wedding party down the aisle, bringing stillness and emotion to the moment.

"During dinner, my childhood best friend Jasmine performed a live rendition of Can't Help Falling in Love, which made the evening incredibly special," Noorie Ana shares. Their first dance song was Perfect by Ed Sheeran, the same song playing when Trieu proposed, bringing the day gently full circle. For the cake cutting they chose Love Me JeJe by Tems, before a DJ took over and the evening shifted into something more celebratory and free.

From the couple walking through sunlit gardens to sweeping aerial views of the ceremony framed by cypress trees, the images captured both intimacy and scale. It’s a reminder of how important it is to consider key questions to ask the photographer when planning your own wedding.

The Wedding Gifts & Wedding Registry

While the day itself focused on experience and togetherness, Trieu and Noorie Ana approached their wedding registry with the same considered mindset. "As a wedding guest, I love giving personalised gifts but also something that fits naturally into the couple's lifestyle," Noorie Ana shares. "For example, if they enjoy cooking, I might give them a recipe book. I also enjoy gifting experiences such as a massage or spa stay, as many people don't often take the time to treat themselves."

Her favourite brands reflect that balance between home and experience: Soho HomeThe White CompanyLe Creuset and Jonathan Adler among her go-to choices, alongside Mr & Mrs Smith for experience-led gifts.

The gifts they received echoed that spirit. "Our friends gifted us an overnight spa stay as well as a custom candle with our wedding date and names on it," she says. "One of Trieu's friends created a book containing our vows and the speeches from the day. We love reading through it together to revisit those moments." There were also pieces tied to the place itself. "We received a piece of artwork from Siena, and my sister gifted us a tea towel from there with our names embroidered on it, such a simple but meaningful reminder of where we celebrated."

"If I were creating a registry now, I would definitely include more experiences. Those are the gifts I value the most… they allow us to create new memories together."

Wedding Highlights

For Trieu and Noorie Ana, the most meaningful moment of the day was exchanging their vows during the ceremony, led by Noorie Ana’s sister. “Writing and sharing our own vows was one of the most meaningful parts of the ceremony,” she reflects. “After being together for thirteen years, it was important to reflect on our journey and speak to the life we’ve built together.” Having her sister guide the ceremony made it feel even more intimate, adding a sense of closeness that stayed with them throughout.

“Rather than including specific British wedding traditions, we focused on personal touches that felt meaningful to us,” Noorie Ana explains, shaping a ceremony that reflected their own story and heritage.

A Last Piece of Wedding Planning Advice…

“Decision fatigue is very real when planning a wedding,” Noorie Ana shares. Taking time between decisions made the process feel more manageable and helped them feel confident in the choices they were making - something she found especially helpful when working through their wedding planning checklist.

Above all, her advice is simple. “Try to be as present as possible. The entire day goes by incredibly quickly, so taking moments to pause and absorb everything makes a big difference.”
