When getting to know the British couple, we remember the bride, Georgia, telling us that in no uncertain terms, whatever the groom, Angelo, says, when they first met she DID NOT chase him. While separately, Angelo, had already told us with a cheeky grin that Georgia had chased him, “from the moment Georgia laid eyes on me she wanted to be a Rossi”.

While “who chased who” to this day remains a mystery, nine years later, their closest family and friends gathered right here in the Cinque Terre, to witness Georgia officially becoming a Rossi.

It was full belly laughing from the start of this fun and lively wedding, dad pranks during the wedding rehearsal, photo shoots in the bath (one of our favourite wedding photos ever – see below) and the retelling of their unique wedding proposal:

The original planned proposal was big and romantic in style: in front of a massive gold heart in Times Square, during a holiday to New York. However, the weather was freezing: –16 degrees according to Georgia and even colder still at -19 degrees according to Angelo. So due to the glacial weather, Georgia insisted they return to their hotel room. And what followed in that New York hotel room, was arguably one of the most unexpected and therefore also undeniably romantic proposals we have ever heard. Angelo got down on one knee, while Georgia was brushing her teeth, and proposed. Magic!

As intensive care nurses, it is no surprise that this kind-hearted, witty and beautiful couple put their family and friends front and center of their wedding experience.

For wedding flowers and decor, we took inspiration from the couple’s brilliant sparkle and went bright and bold in a way only our fabulously flawless florist can.

So, in the spirit of the five lands of the Cinque Terre, here are Georgia and Angelo’s top five tips and pics captured by our clever clicker photographer.

Why a destination wedding in Itay?

Angelo’s Nonno is from Liguria, and we have always loved going to Italy. We just knew that is where we wanted to get married.

Why the Cinque Terre in Italy?

The question should be, why not the Cinque Terre? It is the most beautiful, picture perfect place to get married.  We just knew, we wanted to have our special day in Vernazza, there is no  better place to share our day with our closest friends and family.

How was the destination wedding planning process?

Planning a wedding during covid was no easy task, and quite daunting. However, Melina made the planning process so easy.

The wedding fairies in Manarola have declared a new wedding location for destination weddings in the Cinque Terre, Italy. Well it’s not new, the clifftop terrace has been here for thousands of years – pretty magical, but it’s being used for the first time for official civil weddings.

What’s more, it is one of the few locations in the Cinque Terre where civil weddings can be held outdoors in mother nature’s beauty – bliss! The new wedding terrace, nestled into the vine-covered cliffs and overlooking the Mediterranean sea, is a new wedding ceremony spot experienced by few but guaranteed to wow all – especially those who choose it to say “I do!”

After 14 years in business here, we are so excited to be able to offer this dreamy site to our brides and grooms and can’t wait to celebrate – we have Prosecco bubbles at the ready!

Hayley doesn’t believe in love at first sight. For humans that is. Quite rightly. We figured, there were a possible 450 sightings, between Hayley and Evan over the years, at university, fraternity parties and even actual private dates. But it wasn’t until years later, after they had parted ways and changed cities, that true love hit – a chance meeting in a Karaoke Bar, where Hayley was singing the Spice Girl’s “Wannabe” – zigazig ah!

Aside from 90s pop, this beautiful loved up couple, also share a grand passion for world travel. Together they had visited London, Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, Rome, Florence, Barcelona, Paris and the Cinque Terre. Out of all these places, in all the world, it was on seeing the Cinque Terre for the very first time that Hayley and Evan experienced “love at first sight.” So we were thrilled that they decided to return to the Cinque Terre with their families, for a wedding surrounded by love and kindness, to become husband and wife.

In the spirit of the five lands of the Cinque Terre, get your goggles ready for a deep dive into Hayley and Evan’s top five tips on planning their destination wedding in Italy and their most beautiful and intimate moments snapped by Pure Wedding Photography.

Why a destination wedding?

Evan and I never imaged a big wedding for ourselves. It seemed that a big church wedding with 100+ people was something that was socially “expected” versus something we really wanted. There were many benefits to having a destination wedding. It is cost effective, it is more intimate, the location is unbeatable, and we both knew that we wanted to share our love of traveling with the people that are the most special to us, our families.

Some may say that a destination wedding does not fall under the category of a “traditional wedding”, I disagree. I believe that this experience was more traditional as it focused on our marriage and the blending of families together. This destination wedding was a trip of a lifetime for both families and the opportunity for our families to connect on a much deeper level.

Why the Cinque Terre in Italy?

In 2016, Evan and I took a day trip from Florence to visit all 5 villages of the Cinque Terre, and it was love at first sight. Each village has its own distinct beauty and charm that left a lasting impression on us both. When we got back to the US, we continued to rave about the location to family and friends. Once we got engaged in 2017, within a couple hours we decided the Cinque Terre would be the place where we would become man and wife.

How was the planning process?

I could not have asked for a better planning experience. I have been a bridesmaid 7 times over the course of the past 10 years and I saw my friends stress and obsess about every detail of their wedding to the point of exhaustion, frustration, and tears. As someone very “A-type” and prone to stress, I knew that I could not plan a wedding that way. We searched online for wedding planners and found Cinque Terre Weddings. After speaking with Melina and Sarah, I knew that I had a great team of ladies working to plan our dream day. I developed a very solid and trusting relationship with these ladies 4,900 miles away, across the Atlantic Ocean, and with a 7 hour time difference. I knew that I could email them at any time and they were very quick to respond to any emails/concerns/etc. It was the highlight of my mornings to wake up and see emails from Sarah on next steps in the planning process.

The wedding packages offered by Cinque Terre Weddings are flawless and come with everything needed for the big day. There is no need to fly over extravagant decor, as the scenery of the village is more than enough to make your day perfect. Cinque Terre Wedding listened to my wishes and hopes and incorporated these details into our wedding. In addition, I want to note that the vendors that Cinque Terre Weddings works with are all professional, talented, and easy to work with. It is obvious that Cinque Terre works exclusively with these partners and that a strong platform has been established.

Best part of your day?

As the bride, I loved being able to enjoy the day of my wedding. Cinque Terre Wedding set up a cute lunch for the ladies and kept the schedule of events while I was able to sit back and enjoy the time with my mother, mother-in-law, and matron of honor. There was no need to worry about the time of appointments, where to be, needing to pay vendors, etc. The day was so much fun and full of laughter.

Once it was time for the wedding, Evan and I were able to take in each and every moment. Having a destination wedding meant that we were relieved of pressure to entertain guests. The families could all sit together and enjoy the special day without “feeling like we had to” do anything. It was the most special day for us and we will carry these memories with us forever.

Top Tip for future Cinque Terre Wedding Brides and Grooms?

For those considering a destination wedding, always know there is a level of uncertainty and there is not room to control every single detail, but Cinque Terre Wedding takes the time to develop a relationship with you and coordinate the most highly anticipated day of your life. The uncertainty will quickly transpire into astonishment the day of your wedding.

Classic Blue Mood Board

So to start with, Sarah turned to her friend Mr Pantone, who always sets the colour palate for the year and for 2020 the Pantone Colour is Classic Blue. Well, if any colour title suits the style of a destination wedding here in the Cinque Terre it is Classic Blue. Classic Italian Riviera style on the Blue Mediterranean Sea. Oooo, doesn’t get much better than this.

Confession: I have a blue crush. A very similar colour palette, Midnight Blue, was the colour palette of our wedding back in 2010, see this article on our wedding published in Cosmopolitan Bride for a peek. What can I say, in 2010 I was ahead of my time, or rather I just love blue so much that whenever Mr Pantone announces a blue colour of the year, I’m instantly on-trend. But enough reminiscing about yesteryear, in the inspiration board below you, can see how Stylist Sarah hoverboards this classic colour into the crisp pretty present. Pairing free-spirited bouquets with classic accents of deep blue, metallics and fresh clean white. The Cinque Terre’s signature rustic look underlining all.

Tutti i Frutti Mood Board

Well, we are all fruity here in the Cinque Terre, seriously: oranges, grapes, figs, olives, apricots, peaches, cherries, loquats and the most beloved of them all: the lemon. To give you an idea, outdoors you’ll find lemons hanging out on pretty much every corner, over every wall and from every balcony in the village, just lazing around in all their golden yellow glory. Then once indoors, the lemon adoration continues on every table with our Limoncino, Sorbetto Limone, Crema di Limoncino, Lemon Marmalade, Lemon cake and Acciughe Limone… we are unofficially the mecca for all lemon worshipers. Why, just like all the Saints, we even have an annual date to celebrate the Lemon at the Festa di Limone. On most years, aside from this strange one, the Festa di Limone takes place on the last Saturday of May.

So what better way to bring the spirit of the Cinque Terre into your wedding décor than by welcoming the citrusy fruits themselves onto your table. The result: an explosion of fiery colours and playful compositions that don’t just look deliciously sweet, they are deliciously sweet. So feast your eyes on these incredible edible table settings below and if you’re thinking ow, two for one: free fruit salad for dessert included in a table setting, you’re right on our wavelength. Wink wink!

Freedom Pass Mood Board

Hoo boy, if like us by now you’re tired of being cooped up, locked down and distanced from, we gift you the idea of a Freedom Pass in the mood board of wedding delights below. Think of all the colours in the rainbow, times them by ten, then times them by ten again and your starting to visualise the brilliant colour palette below. Then forget physical restraint and your four walls and stretch out your arms out as far as they’ll go to scoop up every bloom type you can think of. And don’t worry about staying in the lines of the design, no one-metre rule here folks, as you pull together your bouquet of wildflowers let your buds press up close together any way they like. Now, also forget matching tableware, that’s for those who are housebound three meals a day – instead imagine running through your best home-ware stores, not online, but actually in the store, and picking out one favourite tabletop item from each, no one item the same, all exquisitely different – just because you can!

Now if you’ve followed our train of creative thought then you’ve probably styled a wedding similar to the one styled by stylist Sarah below. And if you haven’t, better still, that’s the beauty of the Freedom Pass, go ahead create the wedding of your dreams with no limits.

And so it happened that strapping English gentleman, Paul, and ow, so pretty Irish lass, Aimee, met at a bus stop in Sydney, Australia, of all places, two adventure seeking explorers, with a shared cheeky sense of humour and a drive to live life to the fullest.

So it is no wonder that the engagement of this bright, sparky couple happened in on a nameless secluded beach in the Bay of Islands, New Zealand, a place that the couple have now titled “our beach.”

When first hearing of Paul and Aimee’s travel love story it was clear that they wanted to create an incredible celebration and holiday not just for them but for their family and friends too. It would be the one utterly thrilling adventure the couple took with everyone they loved most involved.

And it was just that. A holiday in the Cinque Terre topped with a wedding unlike any other. The ceremony was held in front of the Mediterranean Sea, the aperitivo overlooking the medieval fishing village and the reception with live music and signature cocktails in the vineyard saw the party continue into the wee hours.

And to match the contagious energy of the couple’s we helped create a wedding setting with bright playful colours, wild care-free flowers and rustic down to earth features. Even village personality, who we endearingly call “Comandante”(The Commander), got caught up in their festive celebrations trying his luck in the Italian superstition of kissing the bride to bring good fortune.

In the spirit of the five lands of the Cinque Terre, get your peepers ready for Aimee and Paul’s top five tips on planning their wedding here and top five and a bit pics captured by the talented clickers at Pure Wedding Photography.

Why a destination wedding to celebrate your travel love story?

From a young age I always knew I wanted to get married abroad. I’ve always liked to do things differently and luckily Paul was happy to go along with my dream. He loves Italy, almost as much as his dad Geoff who we must admit is Italy’s biggest fan. Also, we have lived abroad (Australia, Canada and currently New Zealand) for our entire relationship and so when it came to planning our Wedding we knew that having all of our loved ones together in one place for a week would be extra-special. We love to travel, having visited over 40 countries together, so, I guess we wanted to share our love of travel and exploring new places with the most important people in our lives.

Why a destination wedding in the Cinque Terre, Italy?

The town of Manarola in Cinque Terre was my first ever screensaver on my computer (and continues to be to this day). When I first saw it I thought it was the most beautiful place I’d ever seen. Years later when Paul and I were planning a long holiday to Italy we decided to include a stop in the Cinque Terre. We stayed in Manarola for 4 nights and when we were there I said to Paul “if I ever get married I want it to be here”. So, when Paul proposed in 2018 I knew our wedding had to be in Cinque Terre.

How was the planning process?

Surprisingly very easy, we are living in New Zealand and were worried the time difference would make things more stressful. But, Melina was perfect – so organised, honest and down-to-earth. She made something that can be very stressful seem like a breeze.

Best part of your destination wedding day?

The Ceremony – Matteo was the perfect choice for celebrant and he put so much thought into the ceremony. It was very emotional and our guests still to this day comment how exceptional he was. Some have even requested the script for his speech, which he kindly provided after the ceremony. I think Matteo may have been the star of the show.

Top Tip for future Cinque Terre Wedding brides and grooms?

Keep it calm, this is supposed to be the happiest day of your life. It can be easy to get caught up in the stress of it all, but remember why you’re doing it.

With the sea and land all to themselves, local Cinque Terre animals here are reclaiming their space, loving life and reminding us of just how beautiful nature is.

Much like humans, the wildlife here is relishing the very same popular outdoor activities enjoyed by our brides, grooms and their guests when they holiday here in the Cinque Terre. So let’s find out what fun holiday activities the true locals of the Cinque Terre like best:

Hiking

Here is a video of a group of the cutest wild baby boar who are out for a day of hiking the famous Cinque Terre walking trails.

Sea Sports

Meanwhile, local tuna are well and truly jumping for joy in the gulf of La Spezia.

Beach Day

This wild roe deer is definitely Italian as it takes its post lunch passeggiata (stroll) along the foreshore, dipping its toes into the sea at Camogli.

Video by La Stampa

Once rejuvenated by the sun and sea it heads home for dinner: bruschetta, pasta al pesto and gelato, we think.

Sunbathing

While further on down the coast this octopus is spoilt for choice – sea or land? He can’t decide which but as long as he’s catching the sun he’s happy as Larry on the port wall in Capri.

So we hope you enjoy our tribute to local Cinque Terre animals on International Mother Earth Day and have delighted in the tips from our wildlife locals on what activities to enjoy when holidaying in the region soon.

And while our first response was mild panic: florist is closed, decorations are out of reach and stylist Sarah and I are in lockdown, separated from each other, turns out there was a whole heap of beautiful decorations to be found without even leaving my front gate.

So with inspiration from Stylist Sarah, keeping with the rustic spirit of the Cinque Terre and using yellow, the colour of spring and the colour to brighten even the darkest of days, we pulled together this Easter table decoration tutorial for the community.

You’ll see we used local muted succulents that can be found all year long growing here in the Cinque Terre, bright Monterosso lemons and wild playful Daisies and Buttercup that I found sprouting from a crack in the road in front of my home. Limoncino bottles hand-painted by my mother-in-law served as the vases. And we raised the table setting to a level of meaningful celebration by including metallic details in the candle-holders, painted eggs and ribbon napkin holders. And if Stylist Sarah had been with me, with her magical pens and calligraphy powers, she would have finished off the setting by delicately scrolling guests’ names on each egg. Then we could have called ourselves the Geese that Laid the Golden Egg place cards, and laughed quietly at ourselves, as no one else would have found it funny.

Anyway, once we got started there was no stopping us, under the same theme Sarah found endless ways to get creative in lockdown and now we have enough Easter table decorations for five Easters!

So, if like us, you are looking to decorate your Easter table, without leaving home, hopefully our simple centerpieces will help give you some ideas. You can check out our Easter table settings by turning your gaze below.

But before you do, from all of us here at Cinque Terre Wedding, we wanted to say a big thank you to all our couples, some from as far back as 2011, who have contacted us over the past five weeks of lockdown to check in – a great excuse to reconnect with old friends. All is well here where we fortunately have no cases – one of the perks of living in tiny isolated fishing villages.

And we also wanted to wish you and your loved ones a safe, healthy and happy Easter.

Now let’s get creative!

Canadian couple, Annick and Nick, embody the classic elegance and beauty once reserved only for the black and white Hollywood screens of yesteryear. And they are as graceful and beautiful as they look.

So we were surprised to hear that they met while sweating it out in their hometown gym (though granted their gym aura is probably a tad more refined than our red faced, sweaty betty, smelly melly ones). Anyway, one day while on adjacent machines, Nick struck up a conversation with Annick, starting with the not so classic pick up line: “Is Daniel your brother, you look very similar?” To which, Annick responded with a quick, witty “Yes, but I am much better looking, right?”

After that moment, they rarely spent a day apart. A shared sense of humour and a common gentle spirit saw their friendship grow into a love that would take them to the City of Love – Paris, for their magical marriage proposal.

And after falling in love with the French Riviera, their love story continued into the Italian Riviera, where we were honoured to help realise their romantic and elegant destination wedding in the Cinque Terre.

So if you are dreaming about a romantic and elegant wedding in the Cinque Terre, prepare your peepers for Annick and Nick’s real wedding story where, in the spirit of the five lands of the Cinque Terre, they share five tips and five and a bit pics by photographer of the moment: Pure Wedding Photography. And don’t forget to watch out for the romantic floral compositions by every floral buds’ best buddy Fior Deco and making the beautiful ever more beautiful, the hair and makeup by Malino Beauty.

Why a destination wedding?
We couldn’t picture ourselves getting married in a wedding hall. We wanted a wedding that was intimate and romantic, while still very elegant. We also wanted to be surrounded by our closest family and friends. A destination wedding met all of these criteria, and it gave us an opportunity to travel somewhere beautiful with our entire family.

Why a destination wedding in the Cinque Terre in Italy?
We got engaged during a trip to France, and fell in love with the French Riviera – Cinque Terre reminded us of our engagement. Cinque Terre Weddings was also recommended by a friend, so we knew we were going to be in good hands.

How was the planning process?
Super easy! The Cinque Terre team sent us emails with choices regarding venue, music, decor, menu, etc… and everything was put together perfectly on our wedding day!

What was the best part of your day?
Marrying each other with the most stunning and romantic background in the world, while surrounded by our closest family and friends. We also really enjoyed walking around Monterosso and taking pictures in the most beautiful places.

Top Tip for future Cinque Terre Wedding Brides and Grooms?
Relax and enjoy the ride! The Cinque Terre team are amazing and you can be certain your special day will be exactly like you envisioned it.

B.LOVED is a luxury wedding blog that is ranked amongst the UK’s top 10 wedding blogs. It focuses on stylish, contemporary inspiration and ideas for modern brides as well as lifestyle, travel and fashion. And it just so happens that today its front page is adorned with the best of Cinque Terre Wedding loveliness. Pretty awesome, huh?

So take a peek at the photos and you’ll understand why. Laura and Marco, a Scottish Lassie and Italian Don, are a sweeter than honey couple that even we fell in love with. So for this couple who were looking for a simple, fun and natural wedding vibe, the seaside vineyard in the village of Monterosso in the Cinque Terre was the perfect fit.

A scene of green vine covered mountains, sparkling blue Mediterranean Sea and a pastel coloured medieval fishing village were the backdrop to which were added sprinkles of baby’s breath, olive leaves, Italian herbs, terracotta and loose lemons fresh from the orchard, to represent the couple’s personal style. Truly, what more could you want? A traditional Italian millefoglie wedding cake? Well, that’s in there too.

So enough of the spoilers, you can enjoy the photos by superhero photographer Pure Wedding Photography and the flowers of prettier than pretty Fior Deco in the B.LOVED dreamy vineyard wedding feature here or click through on the photo below.

And stay tuned for Cinque Terre Wedding real wedding feature where, in the spirit of the five lands of the Cinque Terre, Laura and Marco will share five tips and five and bit pics on what it was like to plan and celebrate their destination vineyard wedding in the Cinque Terre, Italy.

Following the swim it was hair, makeup, then a stroll down the medieval alleyways to their ceremony venue – the terrace of a medieval Castle that dates back over 1,000 years. Their view? 35 loved ones and the infinite sparkling Mediterranean Sea. After the vows the couple celebrated with prosecco, appetisers and good Italian food and wine at dinner in the Castle’s Restaurant, before cake and dancing under the stars.

We wonder if Jessica and Justin ever dreamed of such a wedding day when years ago they found each other on match.com? For Senior Engineer, Justin, and Wellness Center Manager, Jessica, who both share a love of exploring the world and the simple things in life, like family, friends and nature, perhaps a destination wedding in the Cinque Terre was always their destiny?

And the sign that sealed their fate? Roma! Not the name of Italy’s capital city but in their case, the name of one of their dogs. You see, after asking Jessica’s father for permission, Justin surprised Jessica, while on a hike with their dogs. Halfway along the trail Justin suggested they stop at a bench to give the dogs some water and asked Jessica to check Roma’s new collar as something seemed amiss. But on closer inspection, Jessica found all was exactly as it should be: attached to the collar was a sparkling engagement ring and when she turned back around, Justin was down on one knee!

And how glad we are that their dog’s name was not Paris, Barcelona or Athens! Instead bella Roma it was and therefore bella Italia it was!

When Jessica and Justin first contacted us at Cinque Terre Wedding, they knew they didn’t want a big wedding, didn’t want to spend a fortune, and truly wanted the day to represent them, their passions, and love.

It was hard not to fall under the love spell of Jessica and Justin, so in love with travelling, their families, life and each other. The style for this wedding reflected the location of Vernazza, Cinque Terre, and the couple’s personalities: natural beauty, relaxed romance and no fuss. This can be seen through the rustic romance theme of the flowers by Fior Dèco and decor which included carefree soft toned wildflowers and eucalyptus – true romance at its best.

But don’t just take our word for it, enjoy Jessica and Justin’s love and wedding story below where they share, 5 tips and 5 and a bit pics captured by destination wedding photographer star, Laurken Kendall.

Why a destination wedding in Italy?

Justin and I both have a deep love of traveling and exploring the world. When we got engaged, we wanted this experience to truly represent us, our passions, and our love. We knew we didn’t want a big wedding, we didn’t want to spend a fortune, and we truly wanted the day to be about us and what we wanted. We traveled to Italy in 2016 and fell in love with the people, culture, food, and wine!

Why the Cinque Terre in Italy?

We had visited the area in 2016 and found it to be so incredibly magical – it’s still so authentic and untouched. We both knew that we wanted to share our love for the area with those that we loved most. Once we heard of the incredible venues that the region had to offer for a wedding, we were sold. How many people get to say they were married at a castle on the Mediterranean Sea? (at least those of us in America 🙂 )

How was the wedding planning process?

Amazing! Melina had everything under control and prompted us on decisions that needed to be made. I truly went into the wedding not worried about all the details – I just knew that we were in the most beautiful place getting married and that truly is all that mattered.

Best part of your day?

So hard to choose! Probably the ceremony. It was beautiful, simple, romantic, and everything we ever pictured.

Top Tip for future Cinque Terre Wedding Brides and Grooms?

Be present in every moment of the day, as it goes by so incredibly fast. Don’t worry about the details, Melina and her crew have it covered and they’ll tell you where you need to be and take care of the rest.
