Live the Dream

So many people dream about moving to Italy at some point in their life. They talk about taking a sabbatical to live somewhere maybe like Tuscany, learn to cook, travel the country, learn the language.   One day I packed up my things and moved away from sunny California to Italy,  a dream that started way before that moment…

My family brought me to Naples when I was just a kid and I fell in love … with a bowl of spaghetti bolognese! I knew right then and there that I wanted to live in Italy when I grew up.  So when I finished school I moved to Rome, where I fell in love again … with my husband Luca. We moved around Italy a lot: Rome, then Sardinia, and finally Tuscany.  Florence is where we tied the knot officially in the grand Red Room wedding hall in Palazzo Vecchio.  It is an amazing place, ornately decorated with antique Flemish tapestries and furnished with period furniture from the renaissance.  All the wallpaper and carpeting is red (my favorite), thus the name ‘Sala Rossa’.   We spent two days with our families and friends, and they all still talk about our wedding in Tuscany!

It was in Tuscany that hubby and I started working in the wedding industry and we are so lucky to have had the chance to work with countless stunning wedding venues and talented local Italian vendors all over the country.  This website is a testament to our years in the wedding industry and our experience living in Italy.

We hope you love our stories and we wish you all the best for your own wedding in Italy – auguri!
