Welcome to Extraordinary Weddings' Blog

After years of beautiful real weddings and amazing love stories, we are proud to launch our blog for discerning brides in search of inspirations and stunning contents.


Based in Northern Italy’s picturesque wine region of Piemonte, Extraordinary Weddings has been planning and executing local and destination weddings since 2010. We are excited about the launch of our blog to showcase how our weddings become an authentic expression of each of our couples. 

The harmony of the venue, entertainment, style and theme tell the story of who they are and what they love. We feel so lucky to be part of creating their special day.

From the breathtaking Langhe vineyards, to waterfronts of Lake Maggiore and Como, to the Italian Riviera and the shimmering Mediterranean of Portofino – and beyond, we find your perfect setting and build your unique wedding style.

Real Life Fairy Tales: Real Weddings Feature

An adventure in possibilities.

Each month our “Real Weddings” feature will show how we brought a fairy tale destination wedding to life. Whether you are local to the Langhe or an international traveler, you will read about the wedding celebration from guest size to the menu and wine list, entertainment, décor, and more (don’t worry, ladies – we would never forget the magical wedding dress). 

The Particulars: Wedding Does, Don’ts & Tips Feature.

Flawless presentation built on a foundation of details.

Our monthly “Extraordinary Wedding Tips” feature helps you sort out your plans and needs. Get to know local Piemonte and Italian wedding traditions, how to travel with and prepare your dress, guest activities ideas, flower inspirations, menu does/don’ts, theme ideas, seasonal considerations, and more. 

Each and every wedding we do is special to us, and we want to share them with you in hopes it will inspire your wedding planning.

Read about services available through Extraordinary Weddings (partial to full service).

We service Italy destination weddings, including Northern Italy weddings, Langhe weddings, Piemonte weddings, Italian seaside weddings, Lake Como weddings, Lake Maggiore weddings, Italian Riviera weddings, Portofino weddings,  Tuscany weddings, and other regions.

Seven Italian Wedding Traditions

Seven Italian Wedding Traditions

We love getting questions from destination brides on Italian wedding traditions. There is so much history and superstition involved that it’s fun to explain the backstory and try to find ways to incorporate it into their destination wedding festivities. Since it’s a popular question we thought we’d break down seven of our favorite Italian wedding traditions.
