What happens when a destination wedding planner plans her own destination nuptials" This. A beautifully designed and equally heartfelt wedding. Barbara, the bride, was so kind to let us in on her whole planning process and is explaining it in detail below. I felt that her insight is so valuable to brides-to-be that I didn’t edit any of it, and I encourage you to read it all.
Can I just say… I love the indigo blue, complemented by a ruby red, as the color scheme for this Italy wedding. So unique. Thank you Les Amis Photo for capturing the entire day and not missing any of the gorgeous details either!

From the bride: “When you are a wedding planner specializing in destination weddings, planning your own destination wedding is actually quite an experience! For us, Italy was, without a doubt, the place to celebrate our marriage. Michele is Italian and I, well I just love everything about Italy. At the time of our engagement, we had been considering planning a trip with friends to the Puglia region, which is by far, one of my favorite places in Italy, and not as known as other Italy wedding destinations (like Tuscany or the Amalfi Coast). When looking for a place to rent for this trip, we came across the most stunning masseria in the Salento region, Masseria Torre Ruggeri, and upon seeing photos of it, we just knew, that that was where we had to have our wedding. Sight unseen, we booked the Masseria before even telling anyone we were engaged.”...
