Weddings with Italian style

Head to Italy for your wedding and you’ll be spoilt for choice – the country is full of incredible destinations, offering medieval rustic charm and ancient architecture right through to the most chic and sophisticated of venues.

Lake Como is one of Italy’s largest lakes and a highly desirable location for the rich and famous. Its shores are peppered with incredible villas and palaces with ornate gardens, and a mild climate makes Lake Como a year-round destination. Marry on the shore or travel by boat to an island for a highly exclusive wedding setting.

Could you get any more romantic than Venice? This beautiful city built on water is a stunning setting for a wedding. The splendour of St Mark’s Square, the iconic Rialto Bridge, the history and heritage, the charming gondolas, Venice is elegant, refined and magical.

Italy’s capital Rome is also known as the Eternal City and its history spans some 3,000 years. Here, you’ll find art and architecture in abundance, from the Colosseum and Pantheon to the masters of the Renaissance period – your wedding could become your own version of the famous movie Roman Holiday and be every bit as romantic.

Florence, home of Leonardo da Vinci and his patrons the Medici family, is ranked as one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Full of Renaissance art, architecture and monuments, Florence successfully combines heritage with modernity and is a major centre for fashion. Outside of the city you can enjoy beautiful Tuscan vistas – it promises many opportunities for a unique wedding.

Verona, meanwhile, is probably best known as the setting of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. They may have been star-crossed lovers, but you could celebrate your perfect match in this beautiful and unspoilt city. Tucked away in the heel of Italy’s boot, the southern region of Puglia has a distinctive personality, with whitewashed towns nestling into the hills, stone houses with conical roofs, known as trulli, and a stunning coastline.
