The Logistics of a Destination Wedding in Florence

There is a bit of red tape involved with a destination wedding in Florence. The best course of action is to hire an Italian wedding planner to help handle the logistics. Many locations for destination weddings, such as Poggio ai Merli, can help take care of additional details, such as caterers, florists, photographers, and more. Accept the help, and be sure to get as much as you can in writing.

Selecting the Perfect Location for a Destination Wedding in Florence

Filled with churches, villas, hamlets, hotels, and history, Florence has so many options for a destination wedding. A trip to scout locations is a must for the bride and groom to be. The wedding my family and I recently attended in Florence took place just outside of the city in Scandicci, with the wedding in a Catholic Church built in 1000, and a reception at Poggio ai Merli. Both were beautiful and classic selections.

Planning Ahead for the Guests for a Destination Wedding in Florence

Give guests 9 to 12 months notice for a destination wedding in Italy. The trip is a major one, and for family and friends, can also double as a lengthy European vacation if they have the time to plan accordingly. Send save the date letters, offer flight options, include hotel and accommodation selections, and be sure to include a full itinerary of events and dates.

What Else is on the Agenda after a Destination Wedding in Florence?

There's so much to see and do in Florence. One of the best options is hiking or cycling in the greater region of Tuscany, if you are so inclined. If your guests are the outdoorsy types, remind them that they can rent bicycles, but that they may want to invest in a good pair of running or cycling shoes before they depart for their Tuscan holiday. If running and cycling aren't on the agenda, suggest winery visits, vineyards, museums, or walks around Florence that are suitable for families as well as singles.
