So you love Italy and you want to celebrate your marriage? Why not merge your two loves together and host your once-in-a-lifetime event in the heart of the cultural boot everyone knows and loves. Fortunately, we have millions of brides who have also chosen Italy for their special day, so we know all the dos and don’ts about getting married abroad, and which suppliers you should choose to make organising easier than ever!
When it comes to choosing your location the first thing that attracts your attention is the way it looks. It’s simple – the venue will be the backdrop to your day. However, what is equally important is the amenities that come with it. Fortunately, there are lots of beautiful, luxury locations in Italy to choose from. One of our favourites? Masseria Grieco.
The wide spaces of Masseria Grieco allow you to enjoy the tranquillity of the surrounding countryside as well as the gorgeous landscapes of Puglia. It is a perfect location to enjoy a special stay and host your wedding. At Masseria Grieco, what makes your wedding reception special is the tailored service and the food and wine selections. The staff at this country-house can adapt all of this to the couple’s needs thanks to the advice and expertise of the staff.
If you love Italy, there’s no doubt you also love the food. And of course you do, it’s one of the best cuisines in the world. If this is the case, you will no doubt be looking for a great caterer to provide the wine and food for your day.
Mencarelli Group Roma have been working in the catering business since 2004(!), so they know exactly how to caterer for big events. Their philosophy is based on the care of every element indispensable to the success of an event, and weddings are always a special time for everybody involved. The staff at Mencarelli Group Roma carefully personalise their menu to the characteristics of the couples chosen location, so to exalt its magic.
Choosing a wedding photographer can be a difficult choice. There are so many to choose from, and so many styles of photography that can capture the details of your day perfectly. But, if you’re getting married abroad, it is especially important to find a photographer that may not be perfect for everyone, but is perfect for you.
Marco Annunziata is one of our favourite Italian photographers. His service is dedicated entirely to wedding photography, and he tells us that in his shots he likes to ‘recognize the informality and beauty of places, people and soul’. Plus, his studio location means that he is able to organise weddings on the islands of Ischia and Capri and the whole Amalfi and Sorrento coast!
Hiring a wedding planner is a personal choice. While some brides may have the time to organise their wedding themselves, some brides may not. Many brides have to work as normal in the run-up to their big day, and so acquiring the help of a professional wedding planner can be the most beneficial idea.
Hiring a wedding planner if you’re getting married abroad is a must! Having a point of contact who knows the area like the back of their hand is important. Rossella Celebrini Wedding in Elba offers exactly that: her wedding planning package offers complete assistance throughout the entire designing, planning and managing process. The Wedding day management package is recommended for couples who want the on-site coordination and supervision during their wedding to fully enjoy their special day in the beautiful area of Elba.
There is a well-established truth that finding your wedding dress is one of the most difficult tasks in the run-up to your wedding day. Many brides who are marrying abroad are unsure whether to buy the dress in the UK and then transport it over, or whether to trust the designs and the suppliers in the destination location.
Le Vie en Blanc is definitely a worthy option for those brides confident enough to do the latter. With a wide choice of accessories, such as footwear, veils, hats and shoulder-covers, without forgetting the groom, with advice and assistance from tailors for highly professional men, these ateliers are there with open arms for any brides wanting that their dress don the ‘Made in Italy’ tag.
Slow Hills is a car rental service. It’s often a detail that can slip through the memory, but hiring transport is an important part of your big day! Slow Hills is a unique experience where couples can see the beautiful Tuscan hills and get the romantic sensation that only the classic Italian scooters and cars can express.
They offer 6 themed itineraries, each one completely different, where couples can appreciate, perfumes, lights and colours, shades and sensations that only a vintage speed can do…….. far away from the modern daily life!
