Living the Italy Wedding Dream

Everyone’s dream is to move to Italy at some point in their life. Take a sabbatical and live there for a while, learn to cook and live well.  I’ve been living that dream and I want to share it with you!

My family brought me to Naples, Italy when I was just a kid and I fell in love … with spaghetti bolognese! I knew right then and there that I wanted to live in Italy when I grew up.  So I finished school and moved to Rome, where I fell in love again … with my husband Luca. We moved around Italy a lot, living in Rome then Sardinia, and finally Tuscany.  Florence is where we tied the knot officially with a civil ceremony in the grand Red Room wedding hall in Palazzo Vecchio. 

This wedding hall has so much meaning for Italy.   It is ornately decorated with antique Flemish tapestries and furnished with period furniture from the renaissance.  All wallpaper and carpeting is red, thus the name ‘Sala Rossa’.  The building itself is a national monument.   This is where the first government of a united Italy conducted business as capitol of the country in 1865, before moving to its current capitol, Rome.

It was in Tuscany that hubby and I started working in the wedding in Italy industry and we are so lucky to have had the chance to discover the best way to plan weddings in Italy and to work with countless, stunning wedding venues and talented local Italian vendors all around the country. Our mission in this website is to applaud those Italian wedding professionals we know and love.

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