DUBROVNIK DESTINATION WEDDING Find out how your magic can start right up here... Dubrovnik, proudly carrying a Pearl of Adriatic title, is medieval city located at the southern part of Republic of Croatia, just opposite the Italian coastline.

Being embraced by crystal blue sea, and surrounded by historical walls, the fortified Dubrovnik truly stands as one of the unique settings for any event or life-time celebration.

Many countries claim to offer paradise weddings, but Thailand makes a good claim to be no.1 in this field. The stunning countryside helps, of course, but service and attention to detail raise Thai weddings above many others. Sleeping in a bedroom surrounded by water is unnerving. The gentle splash of the water against the glass walled bedroom made me want to get up to use the bathroom several times in the night. The only thing that kept me in bed was the thought that I would probably tread on a tray of handmade chocolates, or stub my toe on a bottle of champagne if I did try to find my way to the (marble decked, petal smothered) loo. I was in Thailand to wade in the kind of luxury that is usually reserved for people with a lot more money. And the Banyan Tree resort in Phuket certainly did do its best to cocoon me from anything that may be too hot, too cold, too sharp or too grimy. I was staying at a private villa, hidden away from the rest of the hotel by man-made ponds and trees. The...

Find out why Malta makes an unusual wedding destination, despite being in the centre of Europe. Malta manages to be both English and exotic. Malta was the base of the Knights of St John; when they were expelled from Rhodes, they set up camp here, bullying the native islanders into submission. As it became clear that they were never going to be able to return to northern Italy, their original home, they became grandiose, building a vast citadel with huge bastions and ramparts on this scrubby scrap of the Mediterranean. Malta still has some of the old glory, including a Caravaggio in the baroque, over-the-top St John’s Co-Cathedral and the breathtaking hush of Mdina, Malta’s old capital, at night. Malta attracts people who want mild weather and waiters speaking good English,ans there are now splashes of glamour to make it a stylish destination. Try the comfortable San Gorg Hotel in St George’s Bay and The Xara Palace in Mdina is a 17th-century residence that has been converted into a Rel...

A few days in Puglia, driving a rental car through tiny medieval streets to the most incredible beaches, and I began to wonder why I don’t just come here for every holiday from now on. The heel of Italy is the trendy holiday destinations for Italians wanting a break at home and is being discovered by foreign tourists too. Its easy to see why. Puglia is filled with winding, olive tree studded roads that stretch out to the blue, blue Adriatic Sea. The food is amazing. Puglia is Italy’s kitchen garden, providing the olive oil, fish, ripe tomatoes, artichokes used around the country. It is part of a gentler, more old fashioned Italy – there are elegant towns, gleaming citadels and villages of mysterious trulli – stone houses with conical roofs. Many of these trulli are now rented out as holiday homes and also make wonderful destination wedding locations. Owners have added plunge pools, and renovated ancient stone ovens that are perfect for pulling out home made pizzas, drizzled wit...

We're delighted with our success at the National Wedding Show over the weekend. It was the first time we exhibited and it was great to meet bridal couples in person, and to discuss ceremony options with them.

We enjoyed it so much that we've booked for the October show in London - look forward to as much fun and success there too!

The bride and groom, an Italian couple who have lived in London for years, decided to get married in Umbria, an Italian region which is still unknown to most people... Small medieval towns perched on soft hills and with a tradition of excellent cuisine and extraordinary wines. But why offer their guests only a one-day wedding? Why limit themselves to the experience of only one location? And so they thought, advised by Infinity Weddings and Events® , of organising 3 days of festivities in three different places located in this splendid region. All the guests stayed in hotels in Todi, an extraordinary town in the south of Umbria. All the guests were provided with tourist and logistic information by Infinity Weddings and Events® so they could enjoy the most of the area without any unnecessary stress (restaurants, hotels, theatres, wine cellars, shops, etc.). On the Thursday a welcome dinner was held in the most famous wine cellar in Umbria – Le Cantine Caprai. In the Caprai Wine Cellar...
