There are places that leave a mark on your heart—and for me, Italy is one of those places. Every visit brings new inspiration, and our most recent week of venue scouting across Lake Como, the Amalfi Coast, and Tuscany was nothing short of magical.
From the food and culture to the architecture and scenery, Italy is a designer’s dream. The textures, the colour palettes, the light… every corner is a canvas waiting to become a celebration. As a destination wedding planner, this trip was a beautiful reminder of why we do what we do: to create heartfelt, elevated, unforgettable experiences in the most extraordinary settings.
We were overjoyed when our happy couple selected Villa Balbiano, Lake Como as their luxury wedding venue in Italy. Steeped in history and framed by the still waters of the lake, Villa Balbiano is elegance personified. From its ornate interiors to its lush gardens and lakefront views, it's the perfect setting for a luxurious and intimate family wedding—and we can’t wait to begin sketching ideas for this timeless celebration.
Our journey continued south to the dramatic coastline of Amalfi, where we explored some of the most iconic luxury wedding venues in Italy:
Villa Cimbrone – With its romantic gardens and breathtaking sea views, this venue feels like a step into a fairytale.
Villa Eva – Elegant, intimate, and perched high above Ravello with panoramic views of the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Anantara Convento di Amalfi Grand Hotel – A former 13th-century monastery transformed into a luxury haven.
Palazzo Avino – A rose-pink palace nestled in the hills, with unbeatable charm and five-star sophistication.
The Amalfi Coast is truly one of the most captivating places for a wedding—steep cliffs, vibrant houses, narrow winding streets, and an air of old-world romance that simply can’t be replicated. It’s intimate, luxurious, and impossibly charming.
Next stop? The rolling hills of Tuscany—and what a contrast it was. Here, we scouted Tuscany’s lavish countryside venues, perfect for breath-taking countryside weddings full of warmth and authenticity. Surrounded by vineyards, olive groves, and historical estates, we found monarch houses with sweeping views and character-filled villas begging to host candlelit dinners under the stars.
From vineyard backdrops to sea views, from the peaceful calm of Tuscany to the dramatic elegance of Lake Como, every region brought something unique to the table. And as luxury wedding designers, we’re already brimming with ideas—soft floral tones, flowing fabrics, statement tablescapes, and meaningful touches that reflect each couple’s story.
At Weddings by Rebecca, we create more than events—we create experiences. Whether it’s an Amalfi Coast wedding, an elegant affair on Lake Como, or a soulful gathering in Tuscany, we bring your vision to life with grace, intention, and style.
