Islands always have a peculiar charm and the magic of a wedding in Elba Island is matchless. Tuscany is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful regions of Italy: it’s full of history, art, amazing views and food and wine delights. All of this makes it one of the most popular holiday destination in the world and encourages many out-of-town couples – including foreigners – to choose it as their wedding location. Of the many gems of the region Elba is one of the most precious, thanks to its beaches and its transparent waters, which reflect the glare of the sun and the moon, its villages on the hills and its rocky costs, its olive trees and vineyards and its typically Mediterranean vegetation.
Reasons to celebrate your wedding in Elba Island
There is nothing like an island. Nowhere else you can at once feel like you are far from everything and fully part of a community. Both removed and “protected”. Islands are almost places of the soul, where time and space don’t have the same meaning as elsewhere. An island is not just a physical place, it’s an experience. And Elba is no exception to this. Actually, this pearl of the Mediterranean Sea always seduces precisely thanks to its timeless dimension, with little houses climbing up the hills and the fortress and a lush nature, which includes all shades of color. Not to mention its well-known beaches, some of which can only be reached by water. Sandy shores alternate with rocky ones and all of them win you over with deep turquoise waters and wonderful sea-floors. Considering all of this, a wedding in Elba Island can be nothing but romantic and unforgettable.
