I have participated in a number of Weddings in Italy in recent times and as many of you would have read my passion for Italy is boundless. They love brides and the whole country seems to be able to tolerate most things when a bride is involved. Last year in Ascoli on the East Coast, two police officers actually opened a Piazza (square) up for me (when I asked) so that I could get the Bride & Groom some amazing shots as the icing on the Photographic Wedding cake.

In the UK, lord alone knows what would have happened taking pictures in a public place and of a building or two !!!

This is the beautiful attitude of the Italian people that no bride should ignore these days. The strength of the Euro in 2010 has definitely seen an adjustment to how many brides are going to Europe to get married, cost being a major factor, but also the complexities of getting married abroad often means a planner of some description is needed, so where do you start.

This year I met My Weddings & More , in particular Bonnie who was a breath of fresh air. Not only do they offer you a full planning service, but also will provide the paperwork only exercise for the DIY bride who has already found all the items that make up the Wedding Day. Look them up and give them a buzz if you are thinking of a wedding in Italy. They can advise on all areas from a full service to simply ensuring the paperwork arrives on time.

Bonnie kindly blogged my services recently in a BYOP style. Click Here if you have 2 minutes.

Thanks Bonnie and see you soon I hope now that European Air routes have opened again.

Tanti Belle Cosi. Antonio

Italy done properly
