Planning Your Dream Wedding in Italy: A Few Loving Tips from Our Hearts to Yours

If your heart says Italy…
Make it the place you say I Do

Italy has stolen our hearts countless times, and we know it will steal yours too. After years of capturing love stories across this breathtaking country, here are some gentle insights to help you plan the most magical day.

Timing is Everything

While summer weddings are absolutely stunning, they’re also the most sought-after (and crowded!). Consider the romantic magic of spring blooms or autumn’s golden light—both seasons offer incredible beauty with more intimate settings and better availability.

Location Love

Dreaming of Lake Como? You’re not alone! For larger celebrations, book at least a year in advance. But here’s a secret: Italy has countless breathtaking lakes. Lake Garda, areas near Lugano, and hidden gems throughout the country offer equally stunning backdrops with more flexibility—especially perfect for elopements and intimate weddings.

 

Embrace the Italian Sun

Italians have mastered the art of looking effortlessly beautiful under the Mediterranean sun. Pack stylish hats, elegant scarves, chic sunglasses, and quality sunscreen. Your skin (and your guests) will thank you, and you’ll look radiant all day long.

 

Always Pack Your Swimsuit

Trust us on this one! Whether it’s a spontaneous dip in crystal-clear lake waters, a hotel pool moment, or a magical midnight swim on those warm summer nights—some of the most joyful, candid moments happen when you least expect them.

Capture Every Precious Moment

Consider the flow of your day when planning photography coverage. If you want to ensure no emotion, no glance, no tear of joy is missed, a photographer duo can be invaluable—one of us capturing the ceremony while the other focuses on your guests’ reactions and all those beautiful in-between moments.

 

Remember What Matters Most

Your wedding day isn’t just about the celebration itself—it’s about the incredible truth that all these people you love will likely never be gathered in one place again. That sense of magic, family, and connection is what you’ll want to hold close to your heart forever.
