Are you a lover of life’s pleasures and out-of-the-ordinary experiences? Are you looking for an original location for your wedding day? Well then, we at Wedding in Valdichiana can’t help but propose to you a winery in our territory, the Valdichiana Senese, a land rich in precious vineyards and evocative
wineries! Here are 5 good reasons why you should choose it…

1. LOVE AND WINE: if one of the passions that most unites your couple is that for wine, one of the many wineries in Valdichiana could be the ideal place to spend the most romantic and important day of your life. By doing so, you will unite your love with your passion for wine, saying your fateful
   yes and celebrating your union in the perfect setting of a beautiful Tuscan winery!
2. SENSORY EXPERIENCE: choosing a winery as the location of your wedding also means living authentic experiences, thanks to the organization of real sensory tours: you will be able to taste a good glass of wine, smell its fragrance and learn its characteristics. You will also be able to wake up in the morning with a breakfast in the vineyard, have a snack with the winemaker and a cutting board of typical Valdichiana products and finally end the day with a Tuscan dinner in the vineyard.
3. AUTHENTIC AND EVOCATIVE LOCATION: Tuscan wineries, in addition to being home to some of the most famous wine labels in the world, are truly original and striking places to hold your wedding party. The wineries will envelop the bride and groom and their guests in the special scents of must and wood from the barrels. The dimmed lights (because wine likes to rest in the twilight) will make the atmosphere even more evocative. Guests will be fascinated by the sommeliers’ stories and the carefully designed menu paired with the wines, which will turn the meal into a true experience.
4. VARIETY OF STYLES: Tuscany has a large number and variety of wineries. There are older wine cellars with a stone architectural structure reminiscent of the time in which it was built, ideal for those with a more traditional taste, or the more recent ones, for the newlyweds who love modernity. Arrangements can be truly endless and, as a rule, will favor informality, such as vine branches and candles made from the bottoms of glass bottles.
5. VERSATILITY OF SEASONS: the wine cellar is undoubtedly one of the most versatile wedding, adaptable to every season. It will certainly be perfect in fall and winter, as these periods coincide with the grape harvest and wine bottling, so it offers the chance to experience and breathe in the Tuscan wine traditions.

At this point all that remains is for you to choose from our wedding proposals, designed to give you the wedding of your dreams. Get inspired… And if you don’t find what you are looking for, we can customize our offers according to your wishes. Contact us!

Getting married in a Garden: is there a more romantic location?Let’s find out together!

If you’re thinking about a wedding ceremony en plein air , whether only for the reception or also for the civil ceremony, the ideal location for you is certainly one of the marvellous gardens or parks of the Valdichiana Senese, in Tuscany. Especially in Valdichiana, in fact, there are so many of them!

Below you will find some useful hints to clarify your ideas.

1. Beauty and Nature
For couples imagining spending their big day outdoors, there is no more perfect and precious choice than a garden or park in Tuscany, surrounded by the sounds of animals, the colours of the countryside and the scents of flowers. The ‘wow’ effect is assured!

2. Romance and intimacy
Tuscan gardens or parks, from the simplest to those characterised by a more complex structure, have always been places of pure hedonism, to be shared with the person you love and, in the case of a wedding, with all your loved ones, isolated from the world, in absolute quiet. For this reason, if you are looking for an intimate and evocative location, the garden will be the perfect setting for your special day.

3. Simplicity and history
Tuscany is home to influential and historic families and famous artists, who have given our splendid region unique and unrepeatable places, rich in history and charm, that have become symbols of this territory: gardens are among these. Many gardens, in fact, originated as ornaments of the palaces, villas or castles of noble families, in which, through their architecture, the magnificence of the family to which
they belonged shone through. But there are many other gardens with simpler lines that tend to enhance nature as it is without resorting to human labour. Whether you have in mind a more elaborate location, or a simpler one, without sacrificing nature, the Gardens will provide the backdrop for an unforgettable ceremony!

4. The good season en plen air
If you dream of getting married in spring or summer, and you love the idea of doing it in the open air, you cannot but consider the Tuscan Garden as a wedding location. You will enjoy the climate, the long days and the beautiful sunsets.

5. Unique and unforgettable emotions
Spending an entire day, especially the wedding day, amidst the beauty of nature in a Tuscan garden will be like experiencing forgotten emotions and reliving that childlike carefreeness made up of simple gestures and spontaneous smiles. With the help of good weather you can organise wedding receptions, perhaps even in the evening to make the atmosphere more romantic and unforgettable!

However it goes, it will be beautiful!

Does planning the wedding favours for your guests cause you anxiety? We know, it’s a delicate choice because there are so many elements to consider! Don’t panic! In this article you will find some interesting tips and ideas to help you tackle this important task without making a mistake!

It must have happened to you too, to receive superfluous objects at some cerimonies and not knowing exactly what to do with them. Our mission is to guide you towards a conscious choice, that is as original, authentic and as useful as possible! For your wedding day to be truly unique, every detail must be taken care of to perfection, favours included!

Where to begin?

Let’s see specifically which steps to follow to plan this aspect of the wedding in an impeccable way, without leaving anything to chance.

• The first step is to define the style of the cadeau so that it is consistent with the wedding theme, your personal taste and the meaning of your event. It doesn’t make sense to organise an ultra-glamorous, chic and refined wedding and give your guests DIY and rustic design items. Not to mention themed weddings, where the choice of favours is even more specific.

• The second essential step is to find favours that are not only original and personalised, but also useful, as opposed to the usual classics that end up gathering dust at the bottom of a forgotten drawer. It could be food and wine gifts (such as jars of jam, honey, wine, liqueurs) or a beautiful plant. Valuable handcrafted creations (for example jewels) or simple but useful furnishing objects (such as soap bars, scented candles, small ceramic vases) in short, something destined to remain over time while being functional in everyday life. Alternatively, you can opt for solidarity souvenirs or donations to specific charities.

• The third step is to think about the message you want to leave to your guests. Whatever your choice, always try to give it some relevance, accompanying the cadeau with a message that explains its actual essence. Only in this way will you avoid falling into the classic cliché of the superfluous object, fully enhancing your idea.

• It is essential to establish a budget to devote to wedding favors, so as not to waste time when choosing, as is done, for example, to buy the wedding dress.

• No less important is the timing of the purchase of wedding favors, which we at Wedding in Valdichiana recommend at least five months before the wedding, in order not to incur in unforeseen events such as delays on the part of the supplier, especially if the choice fell on handicrafts or if you need some time to finish customize them personally.

• Not to be underestimated is the setting up of the table that will host your wedding favors. It is advisable to make it visible enough, to deliver them easily or to give the guests the possibility to take them independently. Remember to decorate the table according to the style of the event and enrich it with sugared almonds, which can be arranged in maxi containers or attached to each cadeau.

• Finally, do not forget to deliver the cadeau in person even to those who were unable to attend the event, as a sign of thanks.

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.

Here’s why Tuscany is the perfect destination to get married in the summertime

The first thing to decide for a couple wishing to get married is the period in which to do it, as well as the season they prefer. In the case of a wedding in Tuscany, every season is perfect for doing it, because Tuscany is considered an ‘always green’ region, that is splendid throughout the year, but given the imminent arrival of the summer season, we at Wedding in Valdichiana want to provide you with a series of reasons why getting married in Tuscany in the summer is a really good idea!

Here are some of them:

• THE CLIMATE: the summer climate in Tuscany is perfect for weddings and outdoor celebrations, especially those in the afternoon, as the weather is always clear, the temperature is never too sultry and the arrival of sunset is accompanied by a pleasant breeze, as well as being a moment of pure magic

• THE LONGEST DAYS: in summer, the days get longer which is a real added value for those who want to organise a wedding during this time of year, because with sunset and darkness arriving later than usual, the bride and groom will be able to fully enjoy every moment of their most beautiful day…because, you know, no one would ever want their wedding day to end

• THE PHOTOS: Tuscany has always been considered one of the most beautiful locations in the world, especially in summer! Photographers from all over the planet often choose this area to carry out photo shoots and video recordings of their projects, whether fashion, art, design or weddings! Natural light, intense colours and authentic marvels will be the perfect set for your dream wedding photos!

• COLOURS: in summer, Tuscany, and especially the Valdichiana, become palettes of breathtaking colours, envied by painters the world over: the deep green of the wheat fields, the bright red of the poppies, the soft blue of the sky and the bright yellow of the sunflowers…is there a better location and time of year to organise your wedding day?

• ROMANTICISM: summer evenings in the Valdichiana represent the height of romanticism, because they are characterised by sparkling stars and moonlight, optimal temperatures, intoxicating perfumes and relaxing sounds such as the singing of cicadas
