Planning a wedding abroad can feel overwhelming especially when you’re dreaming of an elegant Italian celebration in Lake Como or anywhere across Italy. Whether you’re a bride or groom who hasn’t started planning yet, halfway through and needing extra support, or beginning your 2027 wedding journey, there’s no reason to stress. At Lario Wedding International, we help couples like you turn their Italian wedding dreams into reality, even from afar.
1. Start With Your Vision
Before booking anything, take a moment to clarify what your wedding should feel like:
Do you want an intimate elopement or a full wedding with 50+ guests?
Are you looking for classic elegance, modern design, or something uniquely Italian?
Which Italian locations inspire you the most — Lake Como, Tuscany, Sicily?
Having a clear vision makes every decision easier, from choosing venues to selecting vendors.
2. Decide on Your Level of Support
Depending on your planning stage, you might need different types of assistance:
À La Carte Services: Already booked main suppliers? Need help styling, floral arrangements, or on-the-day coordination? We can assist.
Elopement Package: For intimate weddings, we handle all the essentials so you can focus on your romance.
Small Wedding Package: Perfect for 20–40 guests — personalised planning and design to create a beautiful, memorable day.
Full Wedding Package: Haven’t started planning yet and envision a 50+ guest celebration? We manage everything from venue selection to styling and on-the-day coordination.
3. Book Your Consultation Early
Even if your wedding is for 2027, booking a consultation now ensures you get:
Access to the most exclusive Italian venues
Early vendor reservations (photographers, florists, celebrants)
Peace of mind knowing your planning timeline is structured and stress-free
For 2026, it’s still possible to plan last-minute weddings, especially with a professional guiding the way.
4. Why Work With a Local Planner?
Having a planner based in both Australia and Italy means you get the best of both worlds:
Local insight: Hidden gems, trusted vendors, and venue knowledge you won’t find online.
Time zone coordination: We handle calls, emails, and planning logistics so you don’t have to adjust your life.
Stress-free experience: From timelines to design to on-the-day execution, we manage the details so you can enjoy your celebration.
If you’re ready to start planning your last-minute 2026 wedding or early 2027 celebration, now is the perfect time to act.
No matter your planning stage, we’re here to make your Italian wedding effortless, elegant, and unforgettable.
