Mar 23

Planning an Italian destination wedding? Make it unforgettable with unique details that reflect your story.

Here are five elegant ways to infuse your personality into your destination wedding, inspired by Callie and Stephen’s celebration at Borgo San Vincenzo near Montepulciano that we had the pleasure of planning.

1. Custom Wedding Stationery

Welcome your guests with custom stationery that reflects the essence of your celebration. Include the precise coordinates of your wedding venue on invitations, programs, and signs. This elegant detail connects your event to the location and provides a special memento for your guests.

2. Signature Drinks

Create a signature cocktail that reflects your style or the essence of your event location. Whether it's a tropical blend or a modern twist on a classic, a custom drink adds a special touch and allows guests to experience the unique atmosphere of your celebration. The couple's signature cocktails were inspired by the skilled bartender at Borgo San Vincenzo, adding an expertly crafted touch to their celebration.

3. Pick Me Up Prosecco Station

Start your aperitivo with a prosecco station for a refreshing and delightful pick-me-up. It's a sparkling way to toast to the occasion in style. Customize with garnishes or labels for a personal touch.

4. Handcrafted Guest Book

A handcrafted guest book is more than a formality—it's a cherished memento. Choose a design that reflects your wedding’s theme or locale and invite guests to share their well-wishes and memories. This artisanal touch adds warmth and character to your celebration. This special guest book was handcrafted in Florence at Il Papiro.

5. Olive Oil Favors as Escort Cards

Elevate your escort cards by pairing them with small bottles of high-quality olive oil, a nod to Mediterranean elegance or your destination’s culinary heritage. This thoughtful favor serves as both a beautiful escort card and a lasting gift, symbolizing abundance and warmth.

Personalizing your destination wedding through these thoughtful details creates a seamless blend of location and love. Each element tells a story, inviting your guests to be part of a celebration that is truly your own.
