WELCOME to the first issue of
– Dream Italian Weddings! –

Weddings on Request Katia Amore of Love Sicily takes us through your enquiries about getting married in Italy.

Heavenly Holidays What do you do after celebrating a glorious English summer wedding? The world is full of possibilities. The only trouble is that the climate is often rotten in all those exotic places you have always dreamt of.

Tying the knot on the Romantic Riviera It would be fair to say that at some point every little girl imagines how her wedding day will look and nine times out of ten there’s a fairytale castle involved.

Don’t Worry if it Rains In Sicily, on the day before the wedding, the tradition of the conzata del letto still exists when two single girlfriends of the bride (symbols of virginity and purity) make up the wedding bed.

Wedding Plans Overlooking the Gradara hills and castle of her hometown in Le Marche, Marion Hunter explains how she fell into wedding planning several years ago and set up Dream Academy.

Celebrate in Cortona Italy is one of the most romantic and picturesque countries in the world and offers myriad opportunities to couples who want a very special wedding.

Fashion - Down the aisle in Style ACTRESS KATIE HOLMES walked down the aisle in a gown by Giorgio Armani at her much-publicised Italian wedding to film star, Tom Cruise;

Flowers - A Blooming Good Business THERE IS something about Mari Nielsen that is so warm and confident that you immediately want to throw an enormous party so that you can have her arrange a display of fresh flowers.

Photocall - Sense of place A SPECIAL BREAK in the proceedings. The guests are all undoubtedly enjoying the reception and the happy couple are alone on the balcony of a medieval castle overlooking Lake Garda.
