The Moments: <\/b>Being an introvert, I really enjoyed the short time alone with my husband between the ceremony and reception. My Maid of Honor’s speech brought tears to my eyes and will be something I remember forever. <\/i><\/p>\n

The Design:<\/strong> We really loved the Tuscan, romantic vibe of Bella Collina<\/a> and it fit perfectly with our idea of destination wedding, without the destination.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Advice: <\/b>Choose your vendors wisely! Talk with their previous clients to see if they are a true fit for you as couple. Our biggest wedding planning success was definitely our venue. Although they weren’t always easy to work with, it was the perfect place us to get married and start our lives together.<\/i><\/p>\n
