Are you dreaming of an unforgettable wedding in Italy or in a breathtaking destination around the world?
The Bianco Bouquet team is ready to turn your ideas, desires, and vision into a one-of-a-kind event, tailor-made just for you.
Worldwide couples, who are going to plan a Destination wedding in Italy, are increasingly moving toward exclusive-use Tuscan "borghi" (medieval villages) and ultra-luxury countryside estates. The research is focused on a "home-away-from-home" feel for multi-day celebrations
Tuscany is our home and historic headquarters, that’s why we elaborated this ultimate guide to the most exclusive Tuscany wedding venues.
According to our experience and the latest trends in Destination weddings in Tuscany, the most "requested" venues are almost exclusively. Especially those that offer exclusive use or total privacy from other venue guests. It is the so-called buyout capability.
Anyway, the possibility of paying a premium to rent the entire property exclusively for the wedding group, for the entire duration of your stay, is not a unique request.
While Chianti remains obviously popular, searches for the Val d'Orcia region (such as Pienza or Montalcino) have overtaken other areas due to its amazing rolling hills.
Moreover, sustainability is a trend due to the necessity to plan not only a stunning event but even a "sustainable and luxury wedding in Tuscany”.
In this case, we suggest two of our favourite wedding venues in Val d’Orcia: Monteverdi, a luxury hilltop retreat surrounded by the Val d’Orcia, and Podere Tesoro, a lovely and picturesque venue that offers a perfect blend of elegance and nature.
Val d’Orcia, the Senese countryside and the Chianti area are one of the most beautiful hidden gems in Tuscany. They offer relaxed and effortless stays in stunning venues. Here is our personal list:
Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco (Montalcino). This venue is in the top search for high-net-worth US couples. It’s an entire medieval "borgo" owned by the Ferragamo family, offering ultimate privacy and a private ruins-cathedral for ceremonies. We absolutely love it!
La Foce (Val d’Orcia). This stunning venue is famous for the iconic zigzagging cypress tree road view. It’s a top request for those who love the classic Italian garden design and allure. Unforgettable experience!
Castello del Nero. This castle, finely restored, is nestled in the rolling hills of Chianti in Barberino Tavarnelle. The surrounding nature will conquer you from the first glance. Nice choice!
Couples from different countries choose Italy for their Destination wedding, because of its undisputable flair. Particularly, Tuscany is a land of history and traditions, arts and breathtaking views.
So, if you are looking for a venue which can host a multiple day event and your “wedding group” from all over the globe, that’s our suggestion to stay together on-site.
Borgo Santo Pietro (Chiusdino). It is a 13th-century villa turned five-star luxury farm retreat. It’s one of the most appreciated for "farm-to-table" luxury weddings, where we can bespoke every detail, according to your desire. What else?
Il Borro (Arezzo). Owned by the Ferragamo family, this is an entire stunning village. Thanks to its large spaces, it can host big weddings (100+ guests), even for the nights. In fact, it can accommodate everyone within the estate walls. You couldn't ask for more!
Some couples dream about Tuscany and a countryside backdrop. But if you prefer something more classical, refined and sophisticated, Florence is the perfect choice.
Our Renaissance city is an option for couples who desire Tuscany, but need easy logistics (proximity to an airport, luxury shopping, art experience.
Villa Cora. This opulent wedding venue with a stunning view on the Florentine centre is known for its gilded interiors and proximity to the Boboli Gardens.
It is the top choice for "luxury elopements" or smaller, high-fashion weddings. Absolutely one of our favourite!
These two, on the contrary, are our most preferred hotels in the city centre:
Four Seasons Hotel Firenze. This venue in the heart of the city centre is the the largest private garden in Florence. It remains the gold standard for black-tie weddings in Italy. You’ll see!
Villa San Michele (Fiesole): A former monastery designed (partially) by Michelangelo, offering the most requested panoramic views overlooking the Florence skyline. In this venue everything is perfect and balanced. A high touch wedding!
