Puglia: a dream location for a dream day!
That Puglia is now among the most desired destinations for holidays, thanks to its favourable climate and dreamlike sea, is nothing new. But that it is becoming one of the most sought-after destinations to celebrate and mark the best day of one's life, such as a wedding, is a thoroughly contemporary topic.
An increasing number of foreigners and locals alike are choosing locations in Apulia to get married. This is due to the fact that, besides boasting picturesque villages such as Polignano, which features a unique cliff plunging into the sea, Monopoli with its historic centre rich in history and the castle of Charles V, Ostuni characterised by white walls and houses, and so on... Apulia is equipped with an endless array of masserie, abbeys, farmhouses, historic residences and villas that make this celebration literally like a dream.
Many restaurateurs in Apulia have decided to invest precisely in these structures, renovating and updating them in order to welcome bridal couples and guests in a magical and unique atmosphere.
The most sought-after locations are certainly those on both the Bari and Salento coasts, for example the beaches of Monopoli, Capitolo, as well as areas further south such as Lecce, Ugento and the Maldives of Salento (Pescoluse) and the charming Selva di Fasano; these are the ones that make the dream of anyone wishing to celebrate an “American-style” wedding come true.
However, we do not only owe the credit for the increase in weddings in Puglia to these beach clubs or historic venues, so to speak, but also to the famous Trulli!! Which have undoubtedly become the hidden dream of foreigners who decide to get married abroad and of Italians who choose to stand out by opting for an original ceremony in an enchanted place.
Indeed, while trulli are splendid and characteristic even without decorations and ornaments, just imagine what a magical and unforgettable atmosphere they can offer with the right lights, candles, flowers and garlands. They would enchant even the hardest souls to impress.
All of this is taken care of by the various wedding planning agencies, based in Apulia and abroad, ready to satisfy the needs and dreams of the couple.
The convenience of celebrating one's wedding in trulli and holiday rental properties suitable for this event also lies in the fact that guests and invitees can stay in them, without having to travel any further, making the ceremony easier to run.
Clearly, good food also plays a starring role on this day. Our local chefs offer traditional menus rich in zero-food-mile dishes for all needs, without forgetting the delicious fresh fish with which to win over guests. Focaccias, friselline, mozzarella bites, and vegetable and fish tempura crowd the buffets, which are arranged with care and etiquette.
Crystal-clear sea, white beaches, breath-taking views and enchanting venues set the scene for a unique and special day that will remain forever in the hearts of the bride and groom and their guests.
“Living together is an art, a patient, beautiful and fascinating journey. It does not end when you have won each other over… indeed, it is precisely then that it begins. Pope Francis.
