When it comes to celebrity weddings that capture the essence of timeless romance, elegance and intimacy, few compare to Emily Blunt and John Krasinski’s Lake Como celebration. This breathtaking destination wedding brought Hollywood glamour to the Italian lakeside in the most refined and heartfelt way, and here at Lake Como Weddings By Chelsea, we consider it a dream blueprint for any couple looking to combine romance, luxury and effortless charm.
Whether you are planning a symbolic wedding, civil ceremony or elopement in Lake Como, Emily and John’s wedding proves that intimate settings can be just as grand and memorable as the biggest of parties.
The Venue: Villa d’Este, Luxury on the Lake
The couple chose the exclusive Villa d’Este, one of Lake Como’s most iconic venues, to host their celebration. Nestled on the edge of the lake in Cernobbio, this 16th-century villa offers a perfect blend of historical grandeur and refined Italian hospitality.
With its landscaped gardens, private terraces and sweeping lake views, Villa d’Este offers the kind of cinematic backdrop that looks straight out of a film. It is no surprise that it remains one of the most popular wedding venues in Lake Como, especially for couples dreaming of a star-worthy celebration.
The Dress: A Custom Marchesa Masterpiece
Emily Blunt wore a custom Marchesa gown featuring Chantilly lace, a sweetheart neckline and delicate floral appliqués. Her look was ethereal, sophisticated and romantic, perfectly suited to the understated elegance of the venue.

A Guest List of Hollywood Royalty
Despite being a high-profile couple, Emily and John kept their wedding intimate, inviting close friends and family only. Hollywood actor George Clooney, a Lake Como resident himself, was among the notable attendees.
