Italy provides one of the world's most romantic wedding venues, and is fast becoming a favorite place to get married - the romance, the food, the climate - and it's easily accessible for family and friends traveling from the UK.
But the most important thing to remember is - it's easy!
If neither of you speak Italian, it's a good idea to find a wedding planner - somebody who can liaise with all the right people to make sure that your wedding is a day to remember.
There are two aspects to your day - the wedding ceremony, and the party - whether that be a simple meal in a restaurant, or dancing the night away to whatever type of music takes your fancy.
Most people come to Italy for a civil, rather than a religious, wedding - and in most areas this has to take place legally in the town hall. But many people keep this to a very low key affair, and then choose a lovely location - such as a beautiful old villa, an outdoor location or a seaside venue - for their 'wedding'. Some local councils are very accommodating. They will invite the bride and groom with a couple of witnesses into the mayor's office, and without too much ceremony, they will marry the couple. The next day (or another day of their choice - even the same day) the mayor will come to the 'wedding' location and repeat the whole ceremony - only this time, the bride is dressed for a wedding, the venue is full of flowers, there is music, readings or specially written vows exchanged by the couple. This is the wedding that the guests are invited to, and everything - from the arrival of the bride to the party at the end of the evening - can all take place in a single location.
But then some people just love the idea of getting married in one of the delightful town halls, usually situated in a wonderful old piazza, and more often than not they are historic buildings in their own right. The guests come to the town hall and experience real Italy - and then back to the venue of choice for the celebration.
The legal proceedings are quite straightforward - but if you don't speak Italian, this is when you do need some help. First of all, you have to get a Certificate of No Impediment from your local registrar. This is very straightforward - you only have to ask. You need to get this about three months before your wedding. It's simply a document that says there is nothing to prevent you from getting married. If you send this to your planner, she will arrange for the appropriate British Consulate here in Italy to issue something called a Nulla Osta - which is the Italian equivalent of the Certificate of No Impediment. This is then taken to the town hall, and they create all the paperwork before your big day. In some cases, you might be told that you need to be in Italy a few days in advance, but normally if your planner has everything in hand, that isn't strictly necessary. At the end of the marriage ceremony, you will be presented with a marriage certificate (which is far more elaborate than a British one) and - if your planner has done her job properly - you will also get a number of copies of a translation document. You can use this if ever you need to present your marriage certificate in England.
Once you are married - it's on to the wedding party!
Weddings in Italy - for Italians - are very elaborate affairs. It's not unusual to have two hundred or more guests, and the food goes on forever. It really is the meal that is the highlight of the event, and until you have experienced an Italian wedding, it's difficult to describe the incredible quantity and quality of food on offer. Non Italian weddings tend to be smaller - but no less romantic.
In the summer months it can be hot - and so weddings normally take place in the late afternoon. As soon as the ceremony is over, the Prosecco and canapés are on offer. Guests mingle, choose from the numerous trays of delicious nibbles - stuffed olives, marinated salmon, crispy fried cheese, tiny vegetable tarts - the list goes on. Photographs may be taken at this point, and the photographer will probably mingle with the crowd, taking pictures 'reportage' style together with any formal shots that the bride and groom would like.
Then it's on to the antipasti. When we organise weddings ourselves, the antipasti is always in a slightly different part of the gardens - perhaps on a pool terrace. Tables are heaving with plates of meat, fish, cheese and vegetables - perhaps an individual glass of Italian gazpacho with a skewer of roasted vegetables, or smoked turkey with a pepper and melon salad. Depending on the number of guests, there can be ten or more different selections on the antipasti table, and they are normally served buffet style, with guests finding a table by the pool or in the shade of a tree.
And then ... dinner! The formal part of the meal might be served under an open sided gazebo, but normally at large round tables, beautifully decorated with flowers and candles. The dinner starts with pasta or risotto courses - and often both. It is a leisurely affair, and the wine flows freely. The main course can be meat, fish, or vegetarian - and in some cases there are two main courses separated by a sorbetto. If, by then, you haven't eaten enough - dessert isn't just a single plate - it's another feast, with a buffet table laden with a mouth watering choice of options - semifreddo, ice cream cake, mousse, tiramisu, fruit. This is what a wedding in Italy is all about. See the wedding gallery at for an idea of the food, the setting and the ambiance of a romantic wedding in Italy.
And then there is a chance to dance the night away - but it will, without a doubt, be a wedding to remember in a country which, above all, loves romance.

Wedding Planning Made Easy - Top Ten Tips
Your wedding day is one of the most exciting days of your life, but for many it can also be the most daunting. Instinctively knowing everything that needs to be arranged, for something you have never done before, is a rather tall order. Therefore knowing where to start can be tricky. Most brides will immediately think of the ideal venue and dream wedding dress, but there are a few things that need to be considered prior to this. Having this information to hand will save you stress at a later date and ensure your wedding planning process runs smoothly, on time and very importantly to budget!
1. First things first, make a list of everyone you would like to invite to your special day (remembering to check with both of your families). Then revisit it and decide if it is an acceptable number to you all. It is worth bearing in mind that the larger the venue you need, the fewer options there will be available to you and naturally your budget will increase.
2. The wedding party. Decide who the best man, maid of honour, bridesmaids and ushers will be and ask them.
3. The budget. This can be a sensitive subject but it must be considered so that you can establish what your limits will be. If you are managing your wedding yourself, make a comprehensive list of every item that will cost you so you can work out what you want to prioritise. If you have a wedding planner, they will do this for you and make sure nothing is forgotten whilst helping you stay within budget!
4. Choosing the date. Things to consider: season and weather, bridal party availability, religious limitations, ideal honeymoon location, day of the week (weekdays are usually more cost effective).
5. Wedding insurance. This is something that many people do not consider and it is extremely important. The sooner you can get cover the better, as your policy can cover eventualities such as losing the wedding rings, damage to the bridal gown and venue double bookings. Find out exactly what your policy covers and try to get recommendations from friends.
6. Contact a wedding planner for either full management or for certain aspects or just consultancy to go through a detailed plan of action and provide advice. It is worth knowing that planners have many contacts and can usually negotiate better rates than if you go direct.
7. The service. Consider if it will be religious or civil and if you would like everything to be held in the same venue, or for example a church plus reception venue.
8. The venue. If you wish to have the ceremony and reception in one venue, find out if they have a wedding license. Things to consider: cost, capacities, number of rooms, space for dancing, late license if required, music license and time restrictions. For separate venues also consider distance between the two.
9. Suppliers. Work out if the venue will provide the suppliers - florists, caterers and decorations. Some will insist on using theirs, others will be more flexible. This is important if you have a local florist or caterer you wish to use. A wedding planner will also be able to advise if their suppliers are costly or not - you do not want to get a great venue rate only to find your suppliers cost an arm and a leg!
10. Time line. Most people spend on average one year planning a wedding. This is because of the planning involved and also to get venue availability - believe it or not, popular venues can be booked up well over a year in advance! Think about how long each item takes to organize and prioritize accordingly.
There are many elements to planning a wedding, but hopefully you will find these top tips useful to get you started. Working with a wedding planner will not only mean you have a professional to guide you and often negotiate better rates, but will also save you time and give you that much needed support. Good luck!

Wedding Planner Marketing Tips
The wedding planner life is the only one I'd like to lead. I love to see couples find the ways to have their perfect day, and I absolutely love being able to help them do it on their own budget. Solving problems, working with people, and just being around weddings is a great career, so I love what I do. The only problem wedding planners have is marketing. There aren't too many wedding planner marketing tips that are just floating around there. But there are a lot of wedding planners, and it can be hard to make myself stand out in the crowd. If I was going to give advice about wedding planner marketing tips, there are a couple of things that I would be sure to say.
First of all, as a wedding planner, one of the biggest wedding planner marketing tips that I can come up with is making sure that you've got a solid business plan and you are professional. You've got to know what you are doing right off the bat so that you'll be able to do it well. You also have to always present yourself in a professional way. Remember that part of wedding planner marketing is making sure that you can work with all kinds of people, from couples getting married to in laws, to florists and DJs. You are going to have to plan this whole thing out, so be sure that your people skills are up to date. One of the biggest wedding planner marketing tips you can have is to always, always be friendly and polite. You have no idea how far a good word can go. If one couple likes you, they'll recommend you to a friend. Business is easy, that way.
But you've got to get your name out there. I learned that the hard way, having no work for quite some time. Finally I realized that a web site is a great idea, because couples who are getting married like to see what I've done before. I put up photographs from weddings I've planned, and testimonials from couples who like me. I've also put up lists of what I do and what I charge for those services. With this information online, it is super easy for couples to decide that they'd like me. The hardest part is making sure that they know my address. I got an easy to remember website address, and started plastering it all over town. I took out ads in magazines that catered to brides and grooms, and made sure that I stuck it at all sorts of places. I even got some florists and DJs to say that they'd keep some of my cars and recommend me. In turn, I usually use them when I need those services for a wedding. That kind of networking can be the best of the wedding planner marketing tips because not only does it help you get business, it also helps you during your own business. No matter what, I always remember that if I want to be a successful wedding planner, I've just got to get out there and do it.

Always a Wedding Planner, Never a Bride
If you enjoyed the movie The Wedding Planner with Jennifer Lopez and Matthew McConaughey, you'll get a real kick out of Stand-In Groom by Kaye Dacus.
Anne Hawthorne resides in Bonneterre, Louisiana, a fictionally "real" town with lots of equally "real" characters. A successful wedding planner, Anne has everything she needs--except, of course, her own groom.
Through her cousin, she meets handsome Englishman George Laurence, and feels an instant attraction. But the next day, he shows up at her office with his fiancee in tow. Let the conflict begin.
George feels the same way about Anne. (He's actually just posing as the groom for his employer, but has signed a contract of confidentiality.) His deception eats away at him. How can he remain true to his heart, his Christian beliefs and his employer at the same time? And how will Anne ever forgive him when she learns of his deceit?
Here are a few of the things I enjoyed about this book:
The Character of Anne Hawthorne - She is calm, cool, collected and organized on the outside--a rock for her brides in distress. But on the inside, she longs for a groom of her own, a godly man who won't take advantage of her like the last man in her life.
The Character of George Laurence - I love the way he talks! (What is there about a British accent that is so appealing?) Obviously, the author does a great job of bringing this Brit to life on the page.
The Conflict - It oozes from between every line. How will the characters ever extract themselves from this mess?
Tight Writing - Kaye Dacus knows how to make every word count. (Maybe if I sleep with her book under my pillow, that ability will rub off on me. Oh, if it were only that easy!)
The Strong Spiritual Thread - This story shows us two characters who are honestly seeking to follow God's direction in their lives.
The Setting - The author does a wonderful job of turning Bonneterre into a character in the book. The hometown feel gushes over you as you see Anne relate with family and friends that live in and around Bonneterre.
Sacrifice - Don't you just adore love stories where the main character makes a sacrifice in order show her man how much she loves him? I won't spoil it for you, but be prepared.
This is a wonderful romantic comedy that you don't want to miss. I feel so privileged to have read Stand-In Groom by Kaye Dacus. Not only is it a great story, but a great study of how to write!

Finally, 12-year-old Willafred Havisham, or Willa as she likes to be called, believes with her whole heart and soul that she and her mom, Stella, are finally in the right place at the right time? Willa's dreams of her first best friend ever and the major connection between her mom and her English teacher, Sam clinch it for her. Could it be her thirteenth birthday wish just may come true this time around? But as long as she can remember Willa dreads the day the armor of steel surrounds her mother. It could only mean one thing, another move.
In the efforts to secretly help the weddings that her mother Stella organizes, Willa always includes a secret thirteenth ingredient until the day everything comes to an ending no one ever suspected.

The hopes and dreams of Willa will cast a spell over the reader. Add in co-conspirators, you will cheer Willa on with every action she takes for the one thing she ever wanted. However, sometimes what you wish for is not actually what you are looking for.
