For the most spontaneous of people, eloping to Italy
is a wonderful idea! Why bother with the intricate details and sometimes
year-long planning when you can escape to Italy on a whim and have
a romantic getaway in one of the most quixotic countries in the
world! A wedding in Italy will offer splendid venues, beautiful
views and incredible sights to see while you explore the land as
a brand new couple.
A last-minute wedding doesn’t have to mean celebrating your joyous
occasion without friends and family (though some couples enjoy this
option). Guests may accompany you at a moment’s notice as well,
and will enjoy all of the sights that Italy has to offer!
Travel the ‘art triangle’ formed by Florence, Siena and Pisa, as
well as the Chianti wine region in Tuscany. Take in the long stretches
of olive and wine groves, hospitality of the Tuscan people, and
the delicious food that this province of Italy has to offer. You
and your guests may even partake in horseback riding, language and
cooking lessons and hiking along the expansive hillsides in the
Tuscan landscape.
Sicily is often a tourist favorite, as it offers its guests rich,
natural splendors and enchanting settings. Palm trees line the coast,
and the beaches emanate a tropical feeling that is a nice escape
from some of the colder spots in the country. Be sure to visit Taormina,
Sicily’s premier cosmopolitan town with plenty of charming shops,
offering unique artifacts as well as exquisite ice cream and coffee
to enjoy as you stroll along the cobbled streets.
For those seeking out the traditional architecture of Italy, Rome
is perfect! This city of St. Valentine offers impressive churches
and basilicas as well as the famed Trevi Fountain, the Coliseum
and Roman Forum. The Pantheon and Catacombs will make a wonderful
backdrop to the photos you take when you elope to Italy.
There are some very select venues in which to have your civil or
symbolic wedding. For example, Cortona in Tuscany houses a 13th
century town hall, complete with exquisite frescoes in the city’s
main square that has an ancient and medieval feel. Another is the
Villa San Crispolto, an impressive chapel that also boasts old-world
frescoes for your protestant wedding in Italy.
After your wedding, celebrate a small reception with your loved
one and guests in an intimate Italian restaurant. The cuisine and
wine in Italy is to die for! Stay on this mainland, or branch out
to nearby Western Europe or exotic Islands for your fabulous honeymoon!
Whether it’s to save money, time, just have fun, or be a little
bit different in your wedding celebration, Eloping to Italy is an
exciting and intriguing option! Wherever you choose to elope to,
you will always remember the fun and impulsiveness of your celebration!
