A way to make your special day more original

Organising the most important event of your life as a couple will certainly give you unique and unforgettable emotions, but it could also be a source of stress.
In order to live every moment of this preparation with serenity, we at Wedding in Valdichiana offer our creativity and professionalism, assisting you step by step in every stylistic choice and supporting you in every moment of planning the event, to ensure that the big day is all about happiness, sharing and lots of joy.

Today we are going to talk to you about a way to make your wedding as original as possible, namely to choose a theme to act as a common thread, so that the whole setting is harmonious and coherent.

Each married couple has their own identity, own style, own story to tell, and choosing a theme that is faithful to all of this serves to make every moment more memorable and shareable with your guests. Not only this, but It also makes organisation simpler and more straightforward.

If a theme is chosen for the wedding, it must be reflected in every point and detail of the organisation: from the invitations, to the location, to the bride and groom’s and bridesmaids’ dresses, to the choice of flowers and decorations…

Some advice to select the theme

In the event that you like the idea of choosing a theme for your wedding, but still do not know which one is the most suitable for you, we are here to offer you our help, anticipating below some steps to start from, so that a precise identification with a style, an object, a passion emerges:

• One or more colours
• A historical era (also referring to a clothing style of that time)
• A place of the heart
• A shared passion (travel, music, food, art, a sport, etc.) and for the more extravagant even a film or TV series

All this information is valuable and contains the answer to your question! What are you waiting for? Get yourself a pen and paper and start answering these simple questions…
Then, if you want, you can move on to find a series of images representative of your tastes, which you will need to get an overview of the design and scenography of your wedding.

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

When a couple decides to get married, they feel an indescribable emotion, an emotion they will feel throughout the wedding preparations, from the first moment to the last.
Usually, one of the first choices a married couple has to make is the location, the starting
point for any self-respecting organisation list.

The choice of the perfect location for the most beautiful “YES” in life is a fundamental element, as mentioned above, if not the most important one.
For this reason, at Wedding in Valdichiana, we offer all our skills and knowledge of the area to meet the needs of all our clients, whether they are dreaming of an intimate and private ceremony or want a big party.

Getting married in Valdichiana

Choosing the Valdichiana as the location for your event means choosing a concentration of “beauty”, with the certainty of a great final result. An authentic area where you can find happiness in the various moments of the most beautiful day: the celebration, the reception, but also the many experiences to be had as a couple and with guests, before, during and after the celebrations.

For the past 20 years, our collaboration with local administrations and accommodation facilities, including lesser-known ones, which offer a quality welcome, has enabled us to offer both public and private locations that are among the most exclusive and original in this area.

However, given the complexity of the event and in order to avoid this wonderful adventure turning into an odyssey, we advise you first of all to imagine the location that suits you and its set-up, so that the result can be as close as possible to your tastes and style.

For example, do you dream of saying “YES” inside a mysterious and magical medieval fortress or on the shores of a natural lake? In the council chamber of a town hall or in a relaxing and exclusive spa? On the soft grass of a park or on a breathtaking terrace?

We know! It’s really hard to imagine every single proposal and then choose the most suitable one, especially for those who don’t know the Valdichiana Senese area at all.
That’s why we at Wedding in Valdichiana have decided to put at your disposal, and just a click away, the 3D virtual reality service to see in advance, and comfortably from your PC, some of our most exclusive locations in the municipalities of Cetona, Chianciano Terme, Chiusi, Montepulciano, San Casciano dei Bagni, Sarteano, Sinalunga, Torrita di Siena and Trequanda.

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.

A picture must turn into a perceptible emotion even after years, while you are rethinking your promises of love pronounced at the altar.

But often you arrive unprepared for the wedding day, and then you risk having photos that do not fully reflect your complicity or the event in general.

So here are our seven tips for getting the best wedding photos:

1. COMPLICITY IS THE KEY

Remember this is your wedding day! Leave the bickering for tomorrow and enjoy the process of creating complicity between you in front of the camera.

Relaxing is very important, discomfort and stress show up in photos, nobody likes a forced smile. Hug each other, intertwine the fingers of your hands, play, laugh, joke. The complicity will emerge and in a short time you will no longer remember the camera. Chemistry can never go wrong!

2. MEET YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER

Kissing and flirting in front of a complete stranger holding a camera can be intimidating to anyone. Why not take the opportunity for some beautiful engagement photos? This will allow you to eliminate the embarrassment before the big day. If a pre-wedding photo shoot is out of the question, schedule a Skype call or an in-person meeting with your photographer so you can get to know each other face to face. This small gesture will help you get in touch with the photographer before the wedding and eliminate some initial discomfort. If it doesn’t work … There is always wine in Tuscany!

3. LIGHT IS FUNDAMENTAL

Light can make or break your wedding photos. It is important to keep this in mind both inside and out. The best way to take great wedding photos is to shoot in the shade, overcast, or direct sunlight. When shooting indoors, look for windows and avoid excessive orange, yellow or blue light. We suggest finding a nice, well-lit place to take couple portraits after the ceremony. Also, be sure to plan a “getaway” just before sunset for a hot portrait session full of magic in the Tuscan countryside!

4. DARE: IT’S YOUR WEDDING

Play with textures, fabrics, shapes! Even if the clothes chosen are very traditional, feel the freedom to express your personality in the small details. Wear funny socks, a peculiar tie. Incorporate boutonniere made of feathers or wild flowers … Every detail that reflects your personal style feeds the result of your wedding photos.

5. DON’T GIVE YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER A PINTEREST BOARD TO REPLY

There are two points to emphasize here. First, be aware that your photographer already has a list of photos that he or she keeps in mind to get all the shots planned for your event from start to finish. To this are added the unique and unpredictable moments that your wedding will give you. The photographer will be there ready to capture the authenticity of that day.

Second, since you have hired him, we assume you love his work. So rather than seek inspiration from other photographers, find some sample photos from his portfolio. Share with him the things you like about his style and then let him take the lead. Trust your photographer!

6. COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER

However well defined a photographer’s style is, it is very important that you communicate your expectations before the wedding day. Whether you prefer more posed photos or a report of the day, it is very important to discuss these details before the wedding.

7. EMPTY THOSE POCKETS

Here we mainly refer to the groom. Forget your keys and phone. Give them to a friend or leave them at home.

It may seem like an insignificant and tiny detail, but believe us, having protruding pockets that add awkward shapes to the silhouette is not a pretty look to see in photos. Try to remember to empty your pockets at the start of the big day!

With these simple tips and the artist who best interprets your taste, having beautiful memories in photos will be very easy!
