Tips from the wedding experts:

  • Location, location, location! The first decision any couple must make in planning their Italian nuptials is the city or region they want to exchange their vows.
  • Be sure to hire a wedding planner who specializes in your location of choice – they will aid in booking a church and venue, securing photography, flowers, catering, hair/makeup stylists, guest accommodations, even invitations, amongst anything else you need.
  • Get to know your planner so they can learn about your unique vision for your wedding.
