We finally booked a venue for our wedding in July next year, I feel like we were so late and everything was so booked already but in the end we managed to find a beautiful villa in Italy, it's from 16th century and it's a part of a winery so it's perfect. We're also doing very untraditional wedding and I love that this villa is really unknown and usually not used for weddings.
We're not doing most of the things people do at weddings.
No kids, no speeches, no boutonnieres, no bridesmaids (it's not a tradition in our country anyway), probably no cake, we're gonna have our song but not in a grand "first dance-everyone's looking at you" way, it's just gonna play during the night.
It's also going to start in the afternoon, guests will arrive around 4pm, then cocktail hour, symbolic ceremony, then drinks and dinner and party. I love that this place doesn't have any neighbours around (for over 2km) so we can play music outside for as long and as loud as we like. Lot's of venues we've seen tried to convince us that 2am is long enough for the party but knowing our friends and the fact it's gonna start pretty late I'm glad we found something that allows us to stay all night.
