Poppi Castle was just stunning. It has beautiful stair cases inside which were a beautiful surprise and we had some photos on those as well. They Mayor actually married us in the castle and it was the perfect intimate occasion.

I brought lots of these sets for myself and for my bridesmaids to choose how they wanted their hair. We all looked slightly different but also had a little sparkle which I loved!

Entertaining the kids

Entertainment during the boring bits - is definitely needed. We had a range of ages attending the wedding including our own young son so this was something we took time over. We had the added complexity of flying to Italy and baggage allowance!!
