An Italian wedding is an event that is celebrated due to the union of an Italian couple. While there are many customs at play, don’t expect an Italian wedding to be stiff and rigid.

Both members of the couple do not necessarily have to be Italian to host this type of ceremony. One half of the couple may embrace the Italian lifestyle so much that he or she will relish in the idea of an Italian wedding.

Need vendors for your italian wedding? These pros specialize in this style.

Well, the simple answer to this is because you’re Italian, right? However, each couple has the choice to decide if they want a modern wedding, something simple, or a union steeped in tradition.

Italian weddings can be large or small, but many share their special day with as many loved ones as possible!

These wedding videos will give you the inspiration for all your italian wedding, plus the vendors and brands who can make them happen.
