A NEW ERA - Spring 2017 Perfect Wedding Magazine PWSpring2017 | Page 87

HONEYMOON We took a train from Florence to Rapallo , on the Ligurian Coast in Northern Italy . We stayed at the Tigullio Royal Hotel , right on the harbor . Next we flew from Genova to Naples and spent 5 nights in Positano on the Amalfi Coast . It was truly the most romantic place on earth . We stayed at Le Agavi Hotel , a short shuttle ride or 20 minute walk into the center of Positano . We spent two blissful days at the beach in Positano , chartered a boat to Capri for the day and hired a driver to take us to Ravello , the tiny mountain town nearby which is majestic and offers wonderful ceramics . I highly recommend using Rainbow Private Tours and Transfers to take you from the airport to Positano or any of the towns on the Amalfi Coast . You can also hire them for private day tours . The food was beyond incredible , whether pizza on the beach or lobster pasta , it was perfection .
THEIR ADVICE Think about how you want to feel during your wedding day and let that vision help you choose the venue . Don ’ t let your family or your friends decide . Most people thought we were crazy to plan a wedding so far away in Italy — we picked a venue online without ever seeing it and put complete trust in a wedding planner we ’ d never met , but we had a clear vision for our day . Develop your vision , choose your venue and if possible , hire an amazing wedding planner . They can make the event much less stressful by narrowing down choices etc . Also , discuss budget right away with your fiancé and keep an excel sheet to stay on track . Finally remember at the end of everything , the little things won ’ t matter , you are getting to marry the love of your life and that ’ s what creates the magical memories . perfect wedding magazine . com 85
