wedding-season

Tuscany whispers romance through its undulating landscapes, where each season tells a different love story. From spring’s delicate wildflower blooms to autumn’s golden harvests, this enchanting region offers brides a canvas of possibilities. Choosing the perfect wedding month isn’t just about a date—it’s about crafting a momento magico that captures the heart of Italian love.

Spring: March-May

Spring transforms Tuscany into a wedding destination, with landscapes blooming with hope. Hillsides of red poppies and wisteria-draped villas create romantic backdrops. The mild weather is ideal for outdoor wedding ceremonies. March offers quieter venues and early blooms, perfect for intimate weddings. April provides stunning wedding weather and charming Easter-season settings. May brings warm sunshine and first roses, creating magical moments.

When planning, consider local festivals and a vintage through the Chianti Hills, where spring vineyards come alive with new growth and winemaking families open their aziende agricole (family estates) to share centuries-old traditions of wine and hospitality. Consider local festivals for authentic touches, but avoid Easter week.

For wedding menus, showcase spring’s freshest local ingredients that capture Tuscany’s magic.

Summer: June-August

Summer bathes Tuscany in golden light. Scorching days give way to refreshing evenings, creating perfect receptions.

Traditionally, local Tuscan families avoid summer weddings due to heat, choosing coastal celebrations. June offers warm days and smaller crowds for vineyard ceremonies, featuring ‘The Protector of Florence’ – a must-attend event transforming streets with pageantry.

July brings the famous Palio di Siena, adding cultural flair. August sees peak tourist season and higher costs, though stunning sunsets compensate. While summer weddings can be challenging, our luxury experiences extend beyond ceremonies – consider beachside proposals and Tuscan sunset events.

Autumn: September-November

Autumn emerges as an enchanting season for romance, transforming Tuscany into wedding proposals. Picture the perfect proposal nestled among golden vineyards and olive groves, where wine and harvest traditions create a backdrop of intimacy.

Winter: December-February
