One of them is tiny lake Iseo, which reached a bit of popularity in 2016 thanks to Christo’s artistic installation The floating piers. This project consists of floating pontoons. They are anchored to the bottom of the lake, and they are covered with orange fabric. It connects the village of Sulzano, on the dry land, to the most oversized island of the lake, Monte Isola and the tiny island of San Paolo.
A charming offbeat destination
Located in the countryside area of Franciacorta, famous for white sparkling wines comparable to champagne, this little lake every year welcomes brides and grooms from all over the world.
It makes the ideal location for couples who do not want to plan a destination wedding at an overcrowded destination. But prefer those romantic and quieter spots that just a few have reached for their celebrations.
Isn’t Lake Iseo a charming offbeat destination for your wedding in Italy?
A unique venue for a fairy tale wedding on Lake Iseo
The most exciting trip you can do at Lake Iseo is by boat, looking at the three islands that characterize it. The biggest one is Monte Isola, the most oversized lake island of Italy and Southern Europe. Here no cars run, except for the public means that run up and down the mountain to let islanders and tourists go around and reach the old fishermen’s villages of the island.
Here you can find a castle with a stunning lake Iseo view, where wonderful weddings can occur.
The terrace is ideal for celebrating your ceremony, with lake Iseo and gentle hills as a background. A magnificent backdrop for wedding photos and unforgettable memories.
In the shape of an amphitheater, a green lawn will welcome your guests for a romantic outdoor ceremony.
A little further up, close to the ancient walls of the castle, you can organize an aperitif overlooking Lake Iseo. Or, if you prefer, a seated dinner, enjoying the spectacle of lights reflecting on the lake in the evening.
For those who love a more rustic environment surrounded by nature, the olive garden at the back of the castle is the ideal space for a reception illuminated by bistro lights in a bucolic setting.
The property can let you spend your holidays on the island with all your guests, as it has rooms and apartments for up to 60 people.
An unconventional experience for those who love the idea of organizing a destination wedding over several days in a location far from the most famous routes and in a welcoming environment rich in history.
Lake Iseo is surely a charming offbeat destination for your wedding in Italy!
An ancient castle for a dream wedding on Lake Iseo
Moving slightly further south, we find another castle dating back to the fifteenth century.
Here it is possible to organize the whole wedding on a magnificent lawn overlooking lake Iseo, from the ceremony to the cutting of the cake. The dancing party can then continue inside the castle, in the ancient cellar. A unique space to share a magical experience with your guests.
For those who love history and adore the idea of having ancient walls as a backdrop for their destination wedding, there is the possibility of organizing an aperitif or dinner inside the castle’s rooms. The same rooms and an internal courtyard covered by a marquee will be your backup in case of rain.
An offbeat location offers the beauty of celebrating the entire wedding outdoors or in spaces with a rustic yet elegant charm, a reminder of a past of noble origins.
