Description

On the southern side of the the Sorrentine Peninsula, gentle waves lap at the Amalfi coast, perhaps the most picturesque coastline along the Gulf of Salerno, if not in all of Italy. The rugged landscapes, jutting cliffs, and clinging pines contrast with the pastel facades of authentic villages like Positano, Ravello, and Scala. The sea and the sloping hills seem to play with each other, land and water defining the characteristic colors of Amalfi. Just off the Italian coast, paradisaical islands like Capri Island, Sicily, and Sardinia are the jewels in Italy's sea blue crown and offer stunning settings for beautiful island weddings.

Many islands and coastal regions were once strategic defense points, which means history has left us with a rich playground of castles, towers, and cliff-clinging terraces, all ready to host your perfect seaside ceremony. From a candle lit terrace overlooking the Mediterranean, you look out on the same view that ancient nobles once enjoyed. Or perhaps you prefer an intimate gathering on a private beach, the smooth white sand warming your bare feet. For brides wishing to play princess for just one day, medieval and Renaissance castles dot the coast, often with panoramic views of the natural luxuries surrounding Italy's coastal treasures.
