Well, Italy is wonderful to get married. The weather is amazing, the people are happy and partying, just like us, and the food, this one doesn’t even need to talk about the gods! Who does not like a good pasta, is not it? And to start my special, I chose the main and most desires of the regions by the couple: Tuscany! Land of the most beautiful fields of olive and vines, and where born big names such as Dante Alighieri, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo Buonarroti, Machiavelli, Galileo Galilei and Puccini. I don’t think I need to say anything else, right? lol…
A wedding elopement I made in Tuscany:
With one of the most beautiful sunsets in the world, Tuscany is pure magic. And when it comes to marriage, one of the most complete regions (both infrastructure and scenery) . It is in Florence, main and most developed tourist center of Tuscany, that is the office of Aonde Casar . In it, I gather the best professionals in the region – many of them Brazilians who have beautiful parties and who already know the likes of Brazilians. My Italian team is show!
DESTINATION WEDDING SPECIAL IN PORTUGAL
Thinking of destination wedding , Tuscany stands out for some points that I think are important: 1 – affective gastronomy of weight – different from Milan, for example, where gastronomic minimalism reigns, in Tuscany the food to share, the good mass, the good nonna It is present in every restaurant and corner; 2 – A variety of hotels and lodgings for all budgets and tastes, which is super important when you have guests of different ages and interests; 3 – museums, churches, monuments, citadels, wineries… a myriad of sightseeing tours that make the trip a landmark in the lives of all guests (my favorites: the cathedral square of Pisa; the historic center of Siena; the little San Gimignano the medieval houses of Pienza; and Val d’Orcia). For the grandest brides, let’s say, it is in Florence that is the Duomo and the Brunelleschi Dome ( Duomo is the generic term used in Italy for Cathedral and derives from the Latin Domus , house, the house of God and the Dome was work celebrated Renaissance architect Felippo Brunelleschi ). Already in the region of Assisi, is the charming church of San Francisco.

BEST SEASON
Completing the previous paragraph, Tuscany is good to go all year round! Of course summer is the best of all worlds, mainly because it has 11 hours of sunshine a day, too much right? I love the late spring and early fall, where the cities are empty and winter is not here yet.
HOW TO GET TO TUSCANY?
The truth is that it is very easy to reach any corner of Tuscany. Because Florence is well developed, daily flights arrive from every corner of the world. And from there, also daily trains cross the entire peninsula. And for those who want to make the way by car, I highly recommend. The road is great, has several restaurants on different paths and beautiful landscapes. Worth stopping by and taking lots of amazing photos.
What I always say here is: you can’t risk a destination wedding. Having professionals to take care of the logistics of your guests and even suppliers is crucial. I only work with the best travel agencies, who always guarantee me peace of mind and support in any eventuality, such as change or cancellation of flights, that may happen.

GASTRONOMY
As I said, Tuscan cuisine is simply wonderful, the best of all. Here, abundance is a trademark, which is reflected in marriages. The Tuscan know how to receive like no one, much like the Brazilians, so party is full there. One of the signatures and a source of pride for them is olive oil – one of the most respected in the world! And if you have olive oil, fly away in the imagination of everything that goes with it: pasta, foccacias, preserves… I’ll stop, I’m already starving! lol…
IDEAL TRAVEL TIME
Here we come to a problem point. Tuscany is full of cool places, sights and cities to visit. Since destination weddings usually take place over 3 or 4 days, I suggest you stay only in Florence, which has a lot to do and discover, and at most make a round trip in some nearby cities such as Pisa and Lucca. Cities like Siena, for me, need at least two days to be worth it.
Who cheered to have a wedding in Tuscany? I hope you enjoyed the first part of our destination wedding special in Italy . Keep following us next week has more.
To the next,
Kisses
