A Wedding inFlorence Grand piazzas, renaissance atmosphere with touches
of baroque here and there, offerings ranging from the famous Ponte Vecchio and the Duomo, to the Pitti palace and Piazzale Michelangelo….Florence
is a Museum town and the collections and art available here easily surpasses
those of any other Italian city. This is the city where Genius manifests
itself. For centuries, Florence was the European centre
of modern civilisation and paved the way for a
complete cultural movement and it changed so many things and its influences
are still felt to this day. A wedding in Florence is all about you becoming
part of this wealth of culture and art. Where is Florence? The capital
of Tuscany and what a capital! Centrally located in Italy, Florence is the
gateway to everything Tuscan. How do I get there? Tuscany has 2
airports, Florence airport which is located in a valley and is very close to
the city or Pisa which is a little further away. Both airports are well
served and we would suggest that if you decide to have your ceremony outside
a town or village, then hiring a car is worth consideration. It is important
however to note that there are usually problems with flights landing in
Florence and on many occasions flights are diverted to either Pisa or
Bologna. Again subject to where you end up staying you could also fly
into Bologna or Rome. The other great thing about Tuscany is that you can
have your ceremony here and still spend your honeymoon here just change the
location and this is possible to the variation which exists.
The best time to get married here? The best time
is really any time of the year. We would not recommend July or August however
prices during this period are very good and some great deals can be enjoyed. Our Top Florentine Locations 2012 Florence provides couples with a range of fantastic
options and it is one of those places which is easy to get to, with 2
airports, Pisa and Florence and good rail and bus networks, the way is set.
We start our Florentine journey with the town hall. What can I say and what
words can describe it. Dramatic, a room which exudes formality and grandness
with red carpets and drapes, a reminder of the past glory of Florence. For
some it can be considered over the top however there is something about the wedding room which
makes you feel very Medici-like !!! Add to this the
atmosphere of the main Piazza della Signoria and you really do have pure magic. If you
are after a Catholic wedding, there are a range of magnificent
churches where this is possible most of
them located in the historical centre so very easy to
get to. There are also many churches in the smaller towns close to Florence,
places like Fiesole where
it is also possible to have a catholic wedding and the transfer period is
anything from 15 to 30 minutes, so you could hold your ceremony here and have
a country setting or rolling hill setting and then head back into the arms of
Florence for your reception and party…. as Florence does know how to party!!! A wedding in Florence can also be enjoyed from the terraces of a suite, a garden with a panoramic view over the Florentine rooftops, a private villa or palazzo with frescoed ceilings … whether you are after a civil or a Jewish wedding, a Greek Orthodox or Protestant ceremony in a church or outside a church, whatever your requirements it is all possible here in this wonderful city. Once the ceremony is over, you are spoilt for choice
regarding where to go and eat, you can be as simple and as relaxed as you
like or alternatively you can aim for formal, Florence lends itself entirely
to this and is one of those flexible type of places
where everything goes. A wedding in Florence can be captivating, beautiful
and different….it is all a matter of what you are after and your budget and
we have a range of super ideas to get you going. Tel: UK 01424728901 Enquire Onlinewww.WeddingsMadeInItaly.Co.UK
