Jenny Packham Brides




A Jenny Packham bride radiant in the Tuscan sunshine...
Many congratulations Peter and Kate who were married last Saturday near Siena....



With friends and family arriving throughout Thursday and Friday we were able to squeeze in a trip to the town hall on the Friday evening to complete the legalities.

Kate is a stunning bride and with the opportunity to wear two wedding dresses, she rose to the challenge!

Why get married in Italy?

Maybe the question should not be why you should go to Italy, the birthplace of the phrase la dolce vita (the sweet life), but where in this country of art, ancient history, ethereal vistas, top-notch cuisine, and abundant wine (Italy leads the world with more than four million acres of vineyards) is the ideal destination for you!

Northern Italy


From the small villages lining Lake Como to the cities of Venice, Milan, Padova, Verona and many more packed with art, architecture, fine dining, and fashion. Northern Italy offers old-world culture mixed with modern cities and historic attractions. On top of this the North of Italy is also perfect for white winter weddings in magical towns and villages in the Dolomites ...

Central Italy


Romantic cities of Florence, Siena, Roma shine out as the perfect locations for city weddings, cities that capture the magic that is Italy!


At the same time the countryside and small towns of Tuscany, Umbria and Lazio offer a wealth of breathtaking views, venues and with the welcoming hospitality and mouth watering delicacies it is easy to understand why Italy is one of the most popular destination wedding locations in the world!


Southern Italy
 
When it comes to picturesque settings, it’s hard to beat southern Italy, with its majestic peaks, gentle valleys, and miles of lovely coastline. Amalfi, Positano, Ravello, the island of Capri all conjure up images of sparkling blue water and bright pink wild flowers, colourful hillside villas and churches with their gem like domes.


The south also offers the magical area of Pulglia The beauty weddings in Puglia is undeniable. The region is less crowded, the weather is (normally) perfect, clean ocean waters on three sides of the region. The wine selection is great, the food such as homemade pasta, seafood, and fabulous desserts is undeniably good and the people are extremely friendly.
