Do you need more when you have a beautiful view of Florence, a villa with cypresses, and Italian food? We’ll show you how choosing the right venue and planner can make planning your destination wedding a breeze.

Sapna & Taj chose Villa La Vedetta due to its stunning Florentine views. The hotel and venue, located high above the city’s art-filled streets but within a short Vespa ride of the town center, provided a beautiful backdrop for the wedding. The wedding day scene was a timeless Tuscan opulence with classic white roses and little touches of blush.

Thanks to Photo Santucci, the natural photos of The Tuscan Wedding show a decor and day that is so easy.

Our Love Story

Sometimes, dating websites work.

Taj’s best friend’s wedding was in Bali. We spent time with Taj’s family in Nusa Dua after the wedding. Last night, Bali was a party town, and Taj told me he had planned a special dinner for us.

We went to dinner at this beautiful boutique hotel nestled on the beach. The staff welcomed us to the beach for a private cave dinner. The setting was stunning, with rose petals and candles scattered around the cave. We could hear the sound of the ocean in the background.

Wow, this is a lot to do for a simple dinner. I didn’t know it was a good idea to make my mind believe a proposal would happen in case I was mistaken. Taj was standing behind me as I began taking photos of the scene. I turned to talk to him, and he stood on one knee.

Dress & Attire

SophiaTolli designed my wedding outfit. I also spent some enjoyable evenings trying dresses at Caprice Bridal Store in Hammersmith. The staff here were excellent, professional, and reliable. They had a great selection of outfits.

Taj’s suit came from Suit Supply, located in Mayfair. He had an excellent personal designer named John Natoli. John has a fantastic eye for creating outfits. We highly recommend him.

The Venue

The breathtaking views were the reason we chose our Villa La Vedetta. We wanted to ensure that our guests could enjoy the natural beauty of Tuscany. We liked that the venue had enough room for our family and close friends.

The hotel staff was amiable and helpful. We could taste the food and wines and felt this venue would be perfect for our three-day celebration. The venue was great because it had a variety of areas we could use to host different events, showcasing the beauty of the villa grounds and Tuscany. The decor was kept neutral and soft. The amazing Tuscan view allowed us to do this in an elegant way.

The villa was also located in an excellent location for guests, as it was only a short walk from the center of town. This allowed guests to explore the area before the event, which was perfect for making it a holiday.

Favorite moments

When I was walking down the aisle, that was my favorite moment. When I was about to walk down the aisle, I saw Taj from the top.

As I walked down the steps toward the Taj, the sun poured through the clouds. I was amazed at how perfect the timing was. As I approached, the smile on Taj’s face brought me such comfort that I wished I could relive that moment.

The Photographer

We chose Stefano Santucci because we liked his style of photography, and we didn’t like the cheesy pictures. We were thrilled with the results. Stefano’s photos told the story of our wedding day, from the preparation to the reception and ceremony. A good photographer will capture moments most beautifully, even when you are unaware they are present.

The Planning

Daniela and her team were the best wedding planners we spoke to in Tuscany. They were the most helpful, responsive, and insightful. We immediately developed a relationship with them. Daniela and her team made planning our wedding so simple that we enjoyed it. Daniela was on top of everything, and the team executed the vision with class. We made the best decision by hiring them.

Couples Advice

You can trust an incredible wedding planner! The Tuscan Wedding made sure we were able to enjoy our wedding day. Daniela and her team were the best decision we made, and our guests were impressed by how well-organized and controlled the team was.

Food

We enjoyed every course. Each course was presented with precision and beauty.

Honeymoon

We were married in May but decided to take a honeymoon in October. This was a good idea because we still had something to look forward to after the wedding.

We visited Sri Lanka and Maldives, and we can’t fault either. We packed in all the fun of a honeymoon with Sri Lanka. We went on an elephant safari, hiked, saw temples, and ate delicious Sri Lankan cuisine. Sri Lanka Wide Tours arranged for a driver, itinerary, and tour guides to accompany us on our seven-day trip. They were excellent, and we recommend them. We were able to enjoy Sri Lanka’s attractions because they did all the work for us.

The Maldives were beautiful, peaceful, and an excellent way to relax following Sri Lanka. We stayed in the Anantara Kiveh water villa for seven nights. The Maldives are a wonderful place to relax. The islands offer great food, couples massages, and an evening with the star guru. Both destinations are great for a honeymoon and offer something unique.
