Behind the scenes on a hot summers day....

Apart from the administrative side to organising weddings and arranging viewings for weddings next year, there is a lot more that takes place here at The Italian Wedding Planner!

Memories from a day in Atri Abruzzo

Trust your wedding planner when selecting your photographer...

Barbara Perotti Casagrande 

I have learnt a lot from our Photographers and I have the deepest respect my wedding  photographers, however when we recommend a photographer it is because they are able to produce the images we think will best reflect the style of the bride and groom.

Vintage wedding in Cortona

When Kyla and Justin first contacted us here at The Italian Wedding Planner asking if they could get married in Italy with less than 3 weeks to plan and prepare all the documents I thought 'I do think this is possible.' It was later that Justin told me that he had contacted several wedding planners on the same night that they decided to get married while on holiday in Italy and we were the only ones who stood up and said lets try! 

Arena di Verona

Verona, home to the most famous lovers in history, Romeo and Juliet but also home to some of the most stunning architecture and the amazing Roman amphitheatre located in the heart of Verona. The arena hosts the Verona Opera festival during the summer months offering  a unique atmosphere, with up to 22,000 spectators at a historical site showcasing a series of open-air opera performances. The festival is the highlight of Verona's musical entertainment and eye-opener to Italian culture. As the epitome of the most sophisticated musical performances, the Verona Opera Festival is an integral part of the summer calendar with professional and world-class performers rendering their best at an immortal festival.

A glorious tribute to 'The Wedding Dress'

If you are anything like me and are wrapped up in the romance of 'The Dress" you might want to reserve a copy of a new book soon to be released called '300 Years of Bridal Fashion' by Ewdin Ehrman 

Valentino - Bow-embellished satin sandals

I just came across these shoes and thought wow these are AMAZING and had to share them with you! 

Simply charming...

I adore this group of traditional Italian folk musicians. Not just because they are true professional musicians but because they add that something special to a wedding in Italy!

What to wear to a Catholic wedding in Italy...

Cathedral of Amalfi

Yesterday I met with Don Michele in the Cathedral of Amalfi to introduce him to a bride and groom getting married in Amalfi next June. During the conversation the subject of what the bride should wear and her bridesmaids and female guests came up.

Going to a wedding in Italy this summer? Don’t know what to wear? The trick to dressing for a wedding in Italy during the summer months is to keep it light, fresh, and full of color!
