No winter weddings? No problem! Wedding planners have plenty to do in the off-season, including PR on the slopes. Look at what great snow the Dolomites are covered with this year and how our wedding planner and celebrant Luca is making sure the runs are clear!

Tuscany holds endless secrets that visitors and locals alike try to uncover. The harvest season brings up two of them, one of which is the secret behind making an award winning Brunello wine. (the other one we’ll talk about soon, after a good day in the woods 
As grape harvesting ends this week, a visit to the producer of 20% of all Brunello wine was a must. Brunello and Banfi are not just two names – they are Tuscan history, tradition, and a one of a kind success story. In 2010, Brunello is once again chosen as the world’s best red wine at the International Wine Challenge and Banfi carries forward this fine wine tradition with a young and vibrant co-CEO Cristina Mariani-May.
Where does the secret lie: in the hand-picked grapes? in the hybrid barrels? in the innovation inspired by the youthful managers?
Your call. Good excuse to come to Tuscany and find out
Hand pickings
Each barrel yields 16,000 bottles of wine - salute!

If you aren’t a Twilight fan now, you will be after you spend a little time in the Italian town of Montepulciano which was the set for New Moon, the second saga in the series. The sunlit square Edward Cullen walks out into is Piazza Grande and the clock tower in the background is the one on top of the town hall where weddings are held and where bride and groom can climb up to for a Hollywood-style photoshoot.
Without the Hollywood crowds, surprisingly enough. Although a well-known destination for wine-lovers, downtown Montepulciano is never really packed. You and your wedding party can leisurely stroll the streets without having to elbow your way through hoards of tourists, mouths gaping in awe at the beauty of the place.

There’s plenty of room for your photoshoot as Piazza Grande is just that: GRANDE! Your photographer will have no trouble dodging strangers who don’t belong in your album. Less editing people out with Photoshop too.
No crowds, great photoshoots, so what’s number 3?
While it’s not the price of the civil ceremony (a whopping 1,000 euros), it is the price of accommodations nearby. Plenty of wonderful stone farmhouses where you can enjoy fine Tuscan food and the local noble wine.

What does this picture tell you:
She needed Prince Charming on a white horse.
He needed a ‘guy’ detail.
How about this one:
A Wedding in Italy is her dream come true.
She is his dream come true.
Who got it right? Photographer Antonio Sanzari.
How? By speaking their language, meeting them before the wedding, flying down to Italy with them, following them around through their whole Italian Wedding experience.
How could they afford it? Easy. A low cost flight to Italy probably costs less than local travel in the UK.
What are you waiting for? Click on the banner for Antonio Sanzari, UK wedding photographer.

Young couples getting married in Italy set up their nest with a little help from the DIY giant IKEA. The team of Swedes, who offer affordable furnishings-to-go, splash color and ingenuity onto anything and everything needed in the home. ‘Not quite creative enough’ according to ‘Jules’ at www.instructables.com, a site stemming from the former blog started in 2006 and which bloomed into a community of inventive stylists. Full of great decoration ideas for the DIY couple and a Wedding in Italy … or wherever …. here are 3 items to peek at: Madylight, Home-made Sun Jar, Ikea Ice Straws.

Traditional, personalized, glamorous, old-fashioned – design your wedding to reflect yourself and your feelings when you’re together. Just like Jen, your Zen will influence your choice of venue but unlike the star, yours is geared to accommodate the two of you.
Just ask Heather and Greg, who eloped to Florence and soaked up every minute of bliss in the old renaissance town. Even on their military budget (active duty get 50% off with us) their legal wedding was regal and romantic.
