Not long ago, when couples chose to get wed outside of their hometowns, it was because they wanted to run away from family issues. Now, it has become a trend for couples who yearn to make their wedding day unique, more memorable and one for the storybooks. With such high expectations, many couples find their hearts in Sardinia, Italy.



Why Sardinia

In general, Italy attracts thousands of couples interested in getting married abroad. The country's rich and delightful culture, together with unmatched Italian cuisine and hospitality, make Italy the perfect romantic destination. Sardinia, a Mediterranean island in South Italy, is no exception.

Sardinia is a summer heaven. It is sunny and dry from May through October, when it can get very hot with almost zero chance of rainfall. That means you don't have to worry about a sudden thunderstorm spoiling your big day.

The coastline is blanketed with North Sardinia's world-famous beaches near Porto Cervo and San Pantaleo. Miles of white sandy shore merge flawlessly with crystal clear waters, thought to be the cleanest in Italy. If you want your wedding to be both elegant and exotic, the Sardinian beaches will not disappoint. You only have to find your perfect spot, which is hard to do because every spot looks perfect however you look at it.

Planning your wedding

To ease the task of planning a wedding in a foreign land, Sardinia offers a host of wedding planning experts. They have the experience and the passion to make sure everything falls into place, to make your wedding day as beautiful as you would want it to be. Most of them provide multi-lingual wedding organizers that will give you complete assistance from cake selections and flower arrangements to legal and religious paperwork.

Where you stay

The hotel where you stay in Nord Sardinia before and after your wedding is crucial to the success of the event. It is important that accommodations be part of your initial planning and that you carefully study your options. Choose a hotel that offers amenities that would best suit your needs. Resorts and spas are desirable to keep you relaxed all throughout.

Think of your wedding reception. Do you intend to have it in the same hotel where you and your guests will stay? Chances are yes, to make it easier for everybody. More so, your hotel will most likely be willing to take care of the reception details.

Also consider the location of the wedding ceremony before you choose your hotel and reception venue. You would not want to be travel far, just to get to the reception.

Feast of love

Food is as important as the venue. Sardinia's cuisine is abundant in seafood. The island is said to have the finest lobsters in the world. With tantalizing treats, traditional delicacies are often forgotten: wood-roast suckling pig, wild boar and traditional Sardinian sausage. Whichever your prefer, you and your guests will be regaled with a gastronomic feast.

Your love story is your fairy-tale and your wedding is your dream come true. Say I do in Sardinia, and for once, feel like King and Queen of the world.
