When a luxury destination wedding planner in Florence surrenders…

A luxury destination wedding planner in Florence should be able to cope with the most difficult situations, all kinds of unexpected events except one perhaps. When it comes to love itself and for herself.

If she truly believes in love, and all that true love entails, she will no longer be the luxury wedding planner, but unveil her truly deepest nature. In fact, this is also what connects her so deeply to her job. Every plan, strategy, or skill will fail and she will simply let it be.

The bottom line is to stop staying on her toes and become welcoming. That’s how love speaks to me. When you feel it is real, different, and worthy, you simply need to live with it.

On July 24th, 2021 I had one of my first weddings after the long break due to COVID-19. It was a complicated event still poised between Covid restrictions and possible new opening scenarios. Nonetheless, I felt I had everything under control. Everything, except one. The next best thing that could ever happen to me: to find someone that special right there where I was busy tying someone else’s knot!

Inclined to wonder

Being a luxury destination wedding planner in Florence has exposed me to couples’ most different exciting experiences and familial backgrounds. I am now able to state that they all share two main aspects: determination and an open mindset to surprise, unknown supported by deep confidence.

“Surprise is engaging and can be a key factor when it has to do with love especially because surprise is followed by deeper awareness.”

This is when you understand what has happened and can really enjoy it, whatever result, good or bad. It is the time you can decide to welcome that emotion and learn from it.

So do not stay focused on yourselves, observe what and who is next to you. The more we admire, for example showing appreciation for our partner, the more we will be inclined to wonder. Look for some WONDERful inspiration here.

Do you feel the same about love and are looking for your exclusive wedding planner in Italy?

Real Italian Wedding in Florence

Planning a destination wedding in Florence or a classic Italian celebration requires thoughtful logistics and an eye for aesthetics. For this couple, Ilaria & Tommaso, their special day began with a traditional religious ceremony at the family church in Florence, followed by an unforgettable reception at the stunning Villa di Paterno in the Tuscan countryside.

As their Tuscany wedding planner, one of the most strategic decisions we made was elevating the getting-ready experience. Since the couple’s private home didn’t offer the ideal light or space for early-morning portraits, I recommended booking a luxury boutique hotel along the Arno River. This choice provided a tranquil environment for hair and makeup while creating a breathtaking, bonus photo backdrop before the ceremony—blending riverfront elegance with classic Florentine charm.

Following the ceremony, guests moved to Villa di Paterno for an exquisite evening framed by lush greenery, romantic candlelit tables, and vibrant personal touches like a colorful photo booth. By combining a riverside luxury hotel prep session, a central Florence religious ceremony, and a grand villa reception, we curated a seamless and visually diverse timeline that captured the absolute best of Tuscany.
