Destination Weddings in Italy![]() Viva Italia! This is a country built to be the perfect setting for romance; no wonder it is a top destination wedding choice. Popular locations include the Tuscan countryside (love among the vineyards...), the Amalfi and Sorrento coasts, Venice (red velvet wedding gondolas...), the Italian Alps, Rome and Florence. Yes, Italy has more art and culture than one could ever possibly soak in, and cultural festivals that could form colorful backdrops to a wedding celebration: Venice's Carnivale, Sicily's Holy Week festivities, and Abruzzo's Festival of Snakes. History, culture and cuisine add up to la dolce vita, and the sweet life in Italy has many distinct flavors: the rugged coast of Sorrento with its smell of lemon blossoms, Venice's mysterious stateliness, the cosmopolitan jet-set tone of Rome, and languid fields of grapes, olives and lavender in Tuscany. From castles to country inns, resorts and centuries-old hotels and monasteries, to a sleek modern hotel and spa in Rome's fashion district, Italy has more than its share of wonderful wedding locations from which to choose. Climate: Italy may be at its best in the Spring and Fall (April, May, September, October), when temperatures are still warm, but it is not peak tourist season. The most crowded period in Italy is the summer months. August is to be avoided as many Italians take their holidays in August, and restaurants and services may curtail their hours. Italy's climate is variable, from north to south and coast to mountains. The northern regions have chilly winters and very hot summers, and temperatures moderate as you move south.
