Wedding Planning
Wedding Planning
The Med
Italy, Greece and France, as well as rising contenders Spain and Portugal
There’ s something cinematic about a wedding in Europe— tiled courtyards and terracotta rooftops baking in the sun, the scent of lemon groves wafting through the salty sea air, echoing bells from distant churches. This is peak romance.
Vibe: La dolce vita meets timeless couture.
Dress the Part: Slip dresses, dramatic sleeves, intricate lace or off-the-shoulder drama. Veils are cathedral-length or skipped altogether. Grooms lean into Italian tailoring or playful pastels.
Local Floral: Bougainvillea, lavender, peonies, wild herbs, citrus and olive branches

Sip + Savor: Aperol spritz hour. Colorful charcuterie and antipasti boards. Gelato carts or cannoli towers.

Insider Idea: Host an intimate ceremony at a cliffside villa, then sail to the reception by wooden boat. Or host a week of events: market strolls, wine tastings, beach-club brunches.
Details We Love: A nautical chart or map for guests to sign. Wax-sealed menus, parasols as sunshades, live acoustic guitar or mandolin and departing for the honeymoon by vintage Vespa.
