Getting a destination wedding, just like Hollywood stars! This is how the destination wedding was born, the realization of a marriage in a different country from the one where the couple live. This type of non-traditional pop wedding trend was born in the 90s, when the only ones who can organize such weddings are VIPs from the music and film scene. One of the first to inaugurate this trend was David Bowie who married his Iman in Florence in 1992. In fact, our bel paese has always been a destination weddings for VIPs and not so very important VIPs.
All because of that Dolce Vita cinematic atmosphere that will always define us, the delicious food and the endless artistic beauties, the cities rich in history and the coasts overlooking the sea, the Italian Touch has a charm that never dies, and after the dark years of the pandemic, the wedding destination sector in Italy has restarted in a big way, returning to being one of the flagships of our tourism.
For some years now, weddings destination have no longer been a thing for the rich, in fact even those who are not VIPs can organize their destination wedding in Italy without too much difficulty.
How the perfect destination wedding in Italy works?
First of all, where. In Italy we are truly spoiled for choice when it comes to the dream scenario for a non-traditional wedding.
In recent years the most popular locations have been Lake Como and the Amalfi coast, but also cities such as Florence, Venice and Rome. And if we also add the Alpine scenery, the Sardinian coasts and the “masserie” (the local farmhouses) of the South, there's something for all tastes.
Once the location has been chosen, the intervention of an expert must absolutely be requested, and especially in these cases, the figure of the wedding planner becomes practically indispensable. In fact, it's important not only to think about the "easier" organization of the set-ups, but also about the logistics (how the bride and groom and their guests will move and where they will stay) and in addition to the bureaucracy (how to register the marriage so that can be also valid in the couples' country of origin). A wedding planner based on the territory and with experience in the sector, is able to easily solve any problem thanks to her contacts, but also to propose a vast choice that satisfies all tastes thanks to her network of suppliers.
