7 Ultra Luxe Wedding Locations in Sorrento & the Amalfi Coast, Italy
So often when you set your sights on a wedding in Italy, it's not because of the weather, or the food, or the laid-back culture perfect for a party (although Italy delivers all these in spades).
That's because Italy is equally as delicious when you eat with your eyes. Just picture the glowing Sorrento coastline at golden hour, lit by twinkling lights in far-off windows.
