Winter Wedding in the Dolomites.

There is something very special about a  winter wedding in the Dolomites.  With so many different options, textures, colours and fun qwerky elements add a back drop of snow covered mountains, open fires in cozy chalets that together create the perfect ambience for an elegant magical wedding party...

The first step...

I love this time of year, as all the men get brave over Christmas and New Year to pop the question and I receive the excited e-mail from a bride and groom to be asking for help to plan their dream wedding in Italy or the UK. I love hearing about all the different ways the grooms proposed to their brides and the joy in the brides voice as she tells me their story. All of the wedding proposals are as individual as the couple, and I am always intrigued to hear the details, where did he ask, did he go down on one knee, did he have the ring etc. I really love my job and hearing about this first step on the path to the alter. 

A day in the life of a destination wedding planner in Italy!

The other week I was in Tuscany, I popped in to see one of my favourite florists,  who if I could take all over Italy with me to work on every wedding we plan, I would!

Italy- the perfect location for your wedding!

Today Kelly is driving from Venice to Milan and then from Milan to Montone in Umbria passing through so many different landscapes and regional cultures it could make your head spin! Is it possible to  sum up Italy in to a simple little package? I am sure others will try but after collectively more than 30 years of living here, we cant! Italy is a vast country made up of individual counties with their very own identities, architecture, cuisine and personalities!

Destination wedding in Italy = a bargain!

A new study by Travelex shows that a record number of British couples are heading abroad to get married in a bid to avoid the spiralling costs of UK weddings. They found an increase of 15% of british couples decided on a destination wedding. That means  as many as 80,000 Brits will shun the UK in favour of a foreign wedding over the next 12 months.
