Brides often ask me: ‘what is the best season for weddings in Italy?’, and I always answer: ‘the one you love the most’!
Many couples dream of their wedding in summer, convinced that it is the only season in which to celebrate the big day.
However, Italy, with its natural beauty and cultural heritage, is an ideal destination for weddings all year round.
To answer this question about the best season to get married in Italy, and to dispel some false myths, in this article, we will explore together the advantages of getting married in autumn and winter, and how these seasons can offer a unique and unforgettable experience.
We will discover how every detail, from style to guest experiences, can be perfectly adapted to create a dream wedding, even outside the summer months.
You choose the best wedding season to get married
The seasons of the year evoke different feelings and emotions.
It’s not necessarily true that all brides love summer, it’s not true that beautiful and evocative weddings are only outdoor weddings, and it’s not necessarily true that it can’t rain and be cold in summer.
If you are curious about the advantages you could have by getting married at times of the year other than summer;
make yourself comfortable, I have something to tell you that might upset your view of marriage!
A magical autumn wedding
Autumn is a season of great charm in Italy.
Temperatures are still mild, landscapes are tinged with warm colours such as red, orange and gold, and the atmosphere is intimate and romantic.
An autumn wedding offers many possibilities in terms of style, from the arrangements to the colours that blend perfectly with the surrounding landscape.
Style and Colours
The warm tones of autumn can inspire an elegant and sophisticated wedding.
You can play with earthy colours such as bronze, burgundy and moss green, creating arrangements that harmonise with nature.
Seasonal flowers, such as dahlias or hydrangeas, fit perfectly with this theme, while decorations with natural elements, such as leaves, berries and pumpkins, can add a touch of originality.
Experiences for guests
Autumn is the perfect time to offer unique experiences to your guests.
You can organise a pre-wedding dinner with seasonal dishes such as mushrooms, truffles and chestnuts, and serve fine wines from renowned Italian wineries.
For outdoor weddings, imagine welcoming your guests with warm blankets and drinks such as mulled wine.
Your guests will have a cosy and unforgettable experience, surrounded by the magic of Italian autumn.
The best wedding season can be winter
Winter in Italy can provide enchanted landscapes and an intimate atmosphere, perfect for those dreaming of an evocative and unusual wedding.
Snow-covered landscapes in northern regions, medieval villages illuminated by Christmas lights and cosy locations with crackling fireplaces are just some of the images that make winter a fascinating choice.
But even famous places such as seaside resorts can provide the perfect setting.
Style and Decorations A winter wedding allows you to experience an elegant and sophisticated style.
Colours such as snow white, silver and ice blue can create a fairytale atmosphere, while candles and lanterns add a touch of romance.
As for flowers, winter roses and pine cones can be used for bouquets and centrepieces, along with fabrics such as velvets and silks for a luxurious look.
A Luxury Experience for Guests
During winter, you can pamper your guests with intimate and warm experiences.
A reception in a historic villa or a castle overlooking the sea lit by candlelight creates a unique atmosphere, such as La Rondinaia on the Amalfi Coast.
You can organise a gourmet dinner with traditional winter dishes, accompanied by full-bodied wines and chocolate or spiced desserts.
After the wedding, a day at the thermal baths or a spa for guests could be a perfect way to relax and enjoy your stay in Italy.
In the perfect season for a wedding in Italy, think of the advantages.
Yes, getting married in the less desirable season for weddings will bring you benefits that you should really think about….
I’ll list a few just to give you an idea.
Economic and practical advantages
One of the main advantages of getting married in autumn or winter is the economic benefits.
During the summer months, many venues and suppliers charge high prices due to high demand.
In contrast, booking a location for autumn or winter allows you to obtain more competitive rates.
In addition, suppliers, who are less overburdened than during the summer season, will be more available and have more time to devote to your event, guaranteeing impeccable service.
Booking in autumn or winter also gives you more flexibility in the choice of date and venues.
Waiting times are generally reduced, and you will have access to venues that may have already been booked for months during the summer.
In addition, avoiding the high season means you can enjoy more peace and quiet and intimacy, without the presence of crowds of tourists.
