The steps to follow to plan the big day impeccably, leaving nothing to chance

• The first thing to do is choosing the location of the big event, consistent with your tastes and style. The Valdichiana, a marvellous slice of Tuscany, offers original locations, fascinating and rich in history: medieval fortresses, thermal complexes and breathtaking terraces, there’s something for everyone.

• Once the location has been chosen, it is important to focus your attention on the colours, theme and style you want to use for the entire ceremony, starting from the invitations, to the dresses, all the way to the event set-up, since, if chosen carefully and meticulously, they will provide added value to the selected location and the entire event.

• Then we move on to the accessories: in a wedding with a capital M, the latter are not mere decorative objects or details, but are a fundamental part of the reception and ceremony, and, precisely for this reason, they must be chosen in line with the style of the bride and groom and the location, so as to make the entire setting pleasant and elegant. By ‘accessories’ we refer to the study and selection of all the furniture, to the mise en place (i.e. the complete table setting), to the gifts for the guests and, finally, to the lighting set-up.

In the case of a wedding in Valdichiana, it is advisable to opt for simple but refined colours and accessories, in rustic-chic style!
Everything must appear harmonious and faithful to the context in which the big day will take place, namely the natural wonders of Tuscany.

Not sure which month is the best to get married?

Here’s a list of reasons why you should get married in Spring:

Romanticism: Spring has always been considered the season of love and awakening, when everything blossoms and becomes colourful! So, could there be a better time of year to celebrate your love than this?

Climate: mild temperatures and long days characterise Spring, which is why it is one of the most suitable seasons to celebrate weddings. Whereas Summer months can be swelter ing and humid, and Winter months can be cold and often rainy.

Location: organizing a wedding in Spring makes it possible to use the outside of the location even during evening. You can also plan amazing and fun parties with entertainment, which is something that’s not very practical or often impossible in Winter, and Summer months due to the high temperatures.

Ceremony: now more than ever, people want to get back to great outdoors event and prepare their wedding ceremonies “en plein air”, on a fresh lawn or under big trees. In addition, an outdoor ceremony lends itself to many decorative and arrangement possibilities: the type of chairs, tables and flowers and their consequent setting.

Flowers: as Spring is the time when nature blooms, there are a wide choice of plants and flowers for your wedding decoration and, of course, for the bouquet! There are so many and in a thousand shades, sizes and types. You’ll just have plenty of choices!

Colours: pastel shades are undoubtedly the most delicate (pink, powder, yellow, lilac, light green, sky blue) and therefore the most suitable colors for a wedding (both for the set-up and for the dresses of guests and bridesmaids). This year the palette of 2022 weddings will be characterised by these tones. So, if you get married in Spring, the choice of colors will not only be refined, but also super appropriate!

Food: in Spring, nature awakens and gives us fresh flavors and fragrances. Fruits and vegetables of this season (strictly from zero km), will enrich your wedding table, together with flowers, to create a truly magical setting! The same applies to the wedding cakes.

Creative and destination experiences: the trend for 2022 is mainly for wide open and extended celebrations. For example long weekends or even weeks in specific destinations, and Tuscany is one of the top places! So it is clear that the best time to plan a marriage, especially in this region, is  spring!

Covid-19: due to the prolonged health emergency, weddings are rather to take place outdoors, surrounded by nature. This gives more freedom, as far as restrictions are concerned.

Joy and optimism: by organising a Spring wedding, you will be marking a new beginning in         your lives and will also convey “joie de vivre” and euphoria to your guests!

Getting married is an extraordinary experience in anyone’s life, regardless of where you are from.
But when we talk about destination weddings, we obviously need to add a little more logistics and organization. Different time zones and mostly the language can cause concern and extra work.

Planning a wedding requires a specific knowledge of the industry and enormous attention to detail so that everything runs smoothly; only a professional with years of experience in this industry can guarantee the best result. Relying on a planner who knows how to plan, coordinate and manage every aspect and detail of a wedding is the best choice you can make! Having someone who can also give you advice and work on the design and style of your event is priceless!

Here we are with our 8 reasons why you should rely on a Wedding Planner to plan your wedding in Tuscany.

PLANNING WILL BE A PLEASANT AND STRESS-FREE EXPERIENCE
It’s common to think of the wedding planning as a stressful time in your life, where you are always tense, short of time and feeling stressed … But it doesn’t have to be like this. In fact, a Wedding Planner will make you enjoy not only your wedding day, but the planning process as well. You will be an essential part of the decision making process, after all, you are a team! She or he will guide and assist you at all times so that you never feel alone. The Wedding Planner will be someone you can count on, someone available whenever you need her / him.
Planning a wedding is an ongoing process of managing and solving various issues. But your Wedding Planner will not only solve all the problems, but will foresee them so as not to have to face them at the last minute. She/he will provide honest advice and full-time assistance; she/he will guide and support you every step of the way, so that everything goes as you wish. She/he will make things easier for you and make your wedding day safer and more peaceful.

TIPS TO ORGANIZE YOUR WEDDING
When you imagine your wedding, it is normal for hundreds of ideas to come to your mind, most of the time unrelated ones; the things you’ve seen on Pinterest, Instagram, at your friends’ weddings, on wedding blogs … With so much information around, knowing what you really want is not an easy thing to do, but it’s even harder to know where to start. First of all, the Wedding Planner should help you find out the type of wedding you want. How? Getting to know you, trying to understand your vision, providing inspiring ideas, making sure everything is in perfect harmony and with a captivating style. Getting unbiased advice from your Wedding Planner will give you peace of mind and this is the key to success.

MAKES A DIFFICULT JOB LOOK SIMPLE
Thanks to her/his competence, experience and knowledge, the Wedding Planner will make the planning phase pleasant; she/he will take care of choosing the right venue, negotiating payment terms and conditions with vendors, managing every detail, organizing visits, making reservations and so on. Being an expert in the wedding industry, therefore, she knows firsthand which are the best suppliers for each couple. She/he will always offer you the best options, taking into account your tastes, style and budget.

IT WILL SAVE YOU A LOT OF TIME
She/he will do the hard work for you and save you precious time. The difficulties inherent in planning any activity are mainly related to the time required for development. I always say that 70% of my job is chasing vendors! Having someone do this for you is really worth it! Plus, you’ll get more, better, and faster.

THE WEDDING PLANNER WILL MANAGE YOUR TIME, RESOURCES AND BUDGET
Meeting deadlines, prioritizing activities, making decisions based on available resources, without ever exceeding the budget can be a difficult task, so it is essential to leave this job in safe hands, for example a professional Wedding Planner. It will adapt to your needs, timing and budget, managing resources and suppliers in the best possible way for you.

RESULTS GUARANTEED
If you let yourself be guided by the resources and passion of your Wedding Planner, you will have the best wedding you could wish for. It will provide great results and make sure everything goes perfectly on the wedding day. You have to enjoy that day to the fullest, every single moment; there is no room for stress or concern!

ADDS VALUE AND UNIQUENESS
Each couple is unique and so should their wedding be. Wedding planners believe that a wedding to be truly genuine and unique has to reflect the identity and taste of the couple, tell their story and in some way touch all the guests who attend the wedding.

MAKES SURE YOUR GUESTS HAVE EVERYTHING THEY NEED
When a couple imagines their wedding day, they want their guests to have an unforgettable day too. From choosing the best entertainment for the little ones, to preventing your ladies’ heels from sinking into the lawn, and each guest being given your own wedding favor or cone filled with rice / petals to throw on the happy couple as they exit the aisle. A planner takes care of all these activities, including the special needs of your guests. A good Wedding Planner knows that every guest matters, so he will do everything in his power to make everyone feel special and pampered.

If you belonged to that group of people who still question the benefits of hiring a destination Wedding Planner, I hope I have well explained all the reasons why we believe having a professional with you will make planning your wedding in Tuscany special.
