Brax Girl Ed 17: Vanessa

From Shared Smiles to a Dreamy “I Do” in Lake Como

This month, Brax Girl Magazine brings you a truly enchanting love story—straight from the shores of Lake Como, Italy. Say hello to Vanessa and Andres, our featured Brax Bride & Groom, whose wedding was a picture of timeless elegance, romance, and Italian flair.

Nestled among lush gardens, serene waters, and the breathtaking backdrop of the Alps, Villa Pizzo set the stage for their unforgettable day. The couple chose this historic venue not just for its beauty, but for its emotional pull—evoking their shared love for European romance and old-world charm.

Their theme, "Elegant Classical," brought it all together: soft white roses, delicate orchids, and a refined color palette of white and grey that whispered sophistication at every turn. But perhaps the most meaningful detail? Vanessa’s engagement ring from Brax Jewelers—a pear-cut diamond on a rose gold band, stunningly unique, yet effortlessly timeless.

A Connection Sparked by Passion (and Profession)

Their love story began not in Italy, but through a doctors’ network on Instagram, where they connected over their shared profession as dentists. What started as clinical conversation quickly transformed into something more—a mutual admiration that turned into love, and later, into a partnership that carried them through the often-stressful season of wedding planning.

Together, Vanessa and Andres found comfort in their shared values: dedication, compassion, and a desire to uplift one another both personally and professionally. That same love guided them as they prepared for their wedding—not just planning a celebration, but building a marriage grounded in strength and trust.

A Note to Future Brides, From Vanessa Herself

Vanessa offers this advice to brides-to-be:

“Invest in a good wedding planner to ease the load, set a clear budget to guide your decisions, and remain flexible—there’s beauty in the small, meaningful moments you never planned for.”

Her journey is a reminder that romance doesn’t end with the proposal—it’s found in the quiet support, the thoughtful planning, and the partnership that lasts far beyond the wedding day.

Vanessa and Andres’ story is proof that love rooted in shared passion, trust, and intentional choices can build a beautiful forever—and that forever looks even better with a Brax ring.
