Destination wedding in Italy : Tuscany and Umbria

On the top of the list of the most required destination we have Tuscany.  First of all, Tuscany has a very central position within the Peninsula and this make it pretty easy to be reachable  from abroad.

This region can offer many romantic locations for memorable weddings: farmhouses, Medici Villas, Castles etc..  Additionally, this is the heart of the Renaissance, wine and slow food. Here you can enjoy art, great wine and olive oil and the freshest products.

Another interesting region to explore for a destination wedding in Italy is Umbria. This area of Italy  is home of beautiful medieval castles and gothic cathedrals nested in the a stunning green countryside. Additionally, if you are looking for something far from the mass tourist flows, Umbria is the perfect destination for your Italian wedding.

To find out the best time of the year for a destination wedding in central Italy, you need to consider the overall experience you want to create. Starting from this idea in mind, you should be able to narrow down the best options. For example, if you a must have for your wedding experience is a magical alfresco dinner under a starry sky, then late October or April are not the first choice month to consider. You could rather think about the period form mid May to the beginning of September. However, be careful: August is one of the most warm month during Italian summer time. For this reason, I suggest you to consider this month only if you are used to hot sunny days.
