Amanda Holden's winter wedding
Weddings in Italy are predominately in the summer. People think warm weather, al fresco dinning, summer dresses etc, but in recent years we have been called in to help organise and design winter weddings in Italy.
I am currently planning a wedding in one of the most beautiful ski resorts, Cortina. Set amidst the stunning Dolomites, the scenery surrounding Cortina compliments the attractiveness of the traditional town making the resort a truly desirable winter wedding and sports destination. Although the town has an upmarket, glitzy reputation there is a relaxed and friendly atmosphere and plenty of bars and restaurants to frequent in the evening keeping your guests entertained. The skiing is fairly extensive and has something for everyone and there are plenty of other activities to do off the slopes. Some of the hotels in Cortina are a throw back to days gone by, where waiters serve cocktails in splendid uniforms, in opulent suroundings.
For me Venice is the perfect winter city wedding. Let yourself be carried away by the slow rhythms and enchanted atmosphere of a timeless city suspended between land and water.
Be seduced by Venice’s fragile melancholy beauty. Discover the art, the history and the allure of Venice which is both romantic and mysterious. Whose very stones, waterways and richness of its palazzi evoke the glorious past of the greatest sea power in the Mediterranean and thoughts of indulgent Carnevale!
Venice has so much to offer, with her rich ball rooms and grand dames of hotels. Hotel Daniel is one of my favourite locations for winter and summer weddings in Venice. The breathtaking entrance and staircase plus the rich reds and murano glass mirrored restaurant create a warm and vibrant backdrop for any time of year in Venice. Oh and the views from the restaurant which is located on the top floor, are spectacular!
