F & A – Forli & Meldola, Italy<\/h3>\n

UK couple F & A wanted a relaxed, country wedding that felt more like an amazing party, and with family ties in Northern Italy, Emilia-Romagna felt like the perfect choice for their wedding abroad. Their civil ceremony was held in Forli Town Hall followed by a reception at La Nuova Brocca Villa Restaurant Meldola.<\/p>\n

Pearls of Wisdom:<\/strong> In Italy if you stay away from tourist spots it is VERY reasonable and your money goes a lot further. Don\u2019t try and take everything with you. Local florists have flowers that are true to the region and season which gives a more authentic experience. Let the location do the work. We paid very little for decorations because the restaurant had panoramic views of the countryside – all of our guests were wowed!<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
