Florence, also known as the “Cradle of the Renaissance,” is a city steeped in history and culture. The architecture, art, and natural beauty of this city make it the perfect place to pop the question to your significant other. From romantic gardens to historic landmarks, there are plenty of options to choose from. In this article, we’ll highlight some of the best spots to propose in Florence.

This and much more makes Florence one of the best places for a proposal !. Most of the couples who visit this incredible city for thier proposal, then decide to get married here.

Planning a marriage proposal in Florence is not easy. You not only want to make it unique, but you also want to keep your partner in the dark until that day. A single miscalculation can mess up everything. You, therefore, need to be very careful to ensure that everything goes as plan. Planning for a marriage proposal in a foreign city is even more complicated because you know very little about the city. However, if it is done right, then you can create beautiful memories that will last forever. In this post, I am going to give you tips on the best spots to propose in Florence.

The best spots to propose in Florence

1.Piazzale Michelangelo

If you want to make your marriage proposal unforgettable, then look no further then Piazzale Michelangelo. This spot is incredibly popular in Florence due to its beauty and serenity. Piazzale Michelangelo is located on top of the hill, overlooking the beautiful city. The place has two levels which are connected by a staircase. While inside, you can enjoy the fantastic view of sunset of Tuscany and the sun disappearing behind Ponte Vecchio and Duomo.

If you want to propose to her while the sun is going down and also while overlooking the great city of Florence, then you won’t go wrong when you choose this spot. If you prefer a warmer situation, you can kneel in front of her while the street musician plays great Italian music to make the moment unique and special. When it comes to matters of love, then you can always count on Italian people.

2.San Miniato al Monte Church

Piazzale Michelangelo is usually very crowded, especially in the evening. So, if you want to propose to her when it is only the two of you, then you visit this place early in the morning. If you find the place already crowded, don’t panic. Instead, just walk for about 5 minutes to the Basilica Di San Miniato a Monte. Their staircase over there is similar to one in Piazzale, but this spot has few people. Please watch your time. This place closes between 7 pm and 8 pm. You can get to Piazzale Michelangelo via taxi or a bus from the city center.

3.Ponte Vecchio

Ponte Vecchio is one of the best spots to propose in Florence, one of the most iconic landmarks in Florence. This medieval bridge spans the Arno River and is lined with shops selling jewelry and other trinkets. The bridge is also home to several locks that couples attach to the bridge as a symbol of their love. Proposing on the Ponte Vecchio is a romantic and unique way to pop the question, and you can even pick out a ring from one of the shops on the bridge.The location is lively and has many fantastic things that you will excite your girlfriend. However, I always advise people not to propose on the bridge because it is usually very crowded. Instead, I recommend that you follow the river until you reach a place known as Ponte Santa Trinita. Here, you will not only enjoy a great view of Ponte Vecchio, but you will have the much-needed space to propose.

4.Sesto on Arno

If you prefer to pop the question in the hotel, then look no further than Sesto on Arno in Piazza Ognissanti. It is one of the few hotels in the city that give you to golden opportunity to view almost all the bridges of this great city. Their food is also very delicious, and their staff are very professional, friendly and discrete and will ensure that your proposal plan goes as planned. You can spend time inside if it cool and view the great city from large windows, and if it is warm, then you can sit on the terrace outside and enjoy the view.

5.The Boboli Gardens

If you would love to propose to your girlfriend in a beautiful garden, then the Boboli gardens will not disappoint you. The Boboli garden is the most famous garden in Florence and has plenty of cool spots where you can propose to your girlfriend. However, it is important to mention that professional photographers are not allowed to take pictures in the garden. So, if you were planning to hire a professional photographer to capture the special moment, then this is not the right spot for you.

6.The Bardini Gardens

This is also another beautiful garden with a great view of the city. It has two entrances, the most convenient one being the Via Costa Giorgio 22. A taxi to get you to this entrance. Once inside the garden, the path is all downhill. There are plenty of spots that are ideal for proposal. The exit is very close to Ponte Vecchio. If you like a quiet and less crowded garden then Bardini in the right garden for you.

7.The Rose garden

Another beautiful garden to visit if you prefer a garden proposal is the rose garden. This garden is located just a few meters below Piazzale Michelangelo. It is a great place, and both you and our partner will get to enjoy the magnificent view of Florence city. The garden has many benches where you can sit and enjoy nature before popping that big question.

 

8.The Carousel in Piazza Della Repubblica

Located in the heart of Florence between Ponte Vecchio and Duomo, Carousel in Piazza Della Repubblica is one of the best spots in Florence to make a marriage proposal. It usually opens from early afternoon till 10 pm and tickets cost € 1.50. I recommend that you book at least five tickets because your proposal might take longer than expected. The best time to visit this incredible place is after dawn when it is quiet and less crowded.

If you are planning to make your marriage proposal unique and memorable, you need a professional photographer to capture all those special moments. If you are looking for a professional photographer in Florence, then I will be thrilled to help you. I can also suggest the best spots to propose in Florence and the best time and I can help you in the planning process without your girlfriend noticing.

LET THE MAGIC BEGIN

 

And one more questions is:

Why getting married in Tuscany?

here my 8 tips for you!

1) We all know about the wonders of Florence and Chianti, but wadering around Tuscany you’ll discover some lesser-known gems too.
The region of Maremma, with its rich Etruscan history and untamed landscapes, is the perfect place for a magical wedding, and is also more budget-friendly! And with the coastal regions of Versilia and Monte Argentario, Tuscany is also the place for your beach wedding dreams to come true.

2) Loved-up theatre lovers, look no further for your perfect wedding! Many Roman amphitheatres and traditional Italian theatres around Tuscany can now be rented out by wedding parties. On your special day, you literally become the star of the show!

3) If you’re looking for delicious wedding food, you can’t beat Tuscany. Traditional Tuscan recipes combine the simple, bold flavours of their peasant origins with the nuance and variety of gourmet cuisine. And it can all be locally sourced! A feast this good is sure to bring all your friends and family together in true Italian spirit.

4) Tuscany is the land of good wine and olive oil. From Brunello di Montalcino to Vernaccia di san Gimignano, regional wine is sure to get your taste buds tingling, while extra virgin olive oil from Chianti and Lucca is deliciously intense in its flavours. Why not add a local twist to your wedding and include a wine or oil tasting session?

5) When planning your wedding, you can also take advantage of the high-quality craftsmanship for which Tuscany is renowned. Beautiful papers, superior leather goods, delicately painted ceramics… they will all make your wedding that bit more refined. Imagine how original the party favours can be!

6) Tuscany’s gorgeous textiles and the elegant fashion sense of its inhabitants mean you’re in good hands when it comes to dressing for the big day. With ‘Made in Italy’ dresses for the blushing bride and her bridesmaids and flower girls, everyone is sure to look their best!

7) In terms of wedding decoration, Tuscany has also got you covered. Go all-out authentic with vines, olive trees, wine casks and fine terracotta pots from the region of Impruneta.

8) Feeling adventurous? As if your big day in Tuscany wasn’t already going to be special enough, you can now also arrange a wide variety of activities and trips for you and your guests. Take a tour of Florence’s hidden treasures, ride through Tuscany on a Vespa scooter or travel through its skies in a hot air balloon, take a cooking class and learn the local cooking secrets, experience truffle hunting… there really is something for everyone!

1. BREATHTAKING VIEWS

If you are looking for a postcard view for the most important day in your life, Tuscany definitely has it. The rolling hills are so beautiful that they are a designated World Heritage Site, the historical towns with tiled roofs, the sunflower fields, the olive groves basking in sunlight – everywhere you look you encounter a breathtaking view. Your wedding photographer in Tuscany will capture these romantic surroundings and create memories that will always bring you back to this beautiful part of the world.

2. DELICIOUS FOOD

With its peasant origins, Tuscan food is simplicity at its best. Common ingredients are bread, mushrooms, legumes, vegetables, cheese, meat and seafood. Slow Food and Slow Wine movements are dear to Tuscany, and many stores and restaurants offer local ingredients from the surrounding farms and vineyards, calling it the “Km 0” produce. The abundance of food markets provide seasonal vegetables and fruit, and biological produce is favoured. Many popular wedding venues such as “AGRITURISMO” often serve their own wine and olive oil – in order to even be called agriturismo, the estate must use 90% of the used ingredients that come from the same region as the country house. Your wedding dinner can feature Tuscan dishes such as Panzanella (a popular summer salad of bread and tomatoes), or the famous Fiorentina T-bone steak. Whether gourmets ore just food lovers, your guests will enjoy every dish!

3. WONDERFUL WINE

We think that Italian wine deserves a separate entry from Italian food, because Tuscany is one of the most notable wine regions in the world. Boasting some of thebest red wine, Tuscany is famous for Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. In line with the classics, other wines are getting more and more recognition, such as the cult “Super Tuscan” wines and the new Bolgheri wine region. In addition to the famous reds, Tuscany is also home to white wine Vernaccia and the popular dessert wine Vin Santo. Whatever your preferences, you will be spoilt for choice – and happy about the price tag of the local wine!

4. THE TUSCAN SUN

Want a beautiful outdoor ceremony or a garden reception in the evening sunlight? Chances are, the weather in Tuscany will be sunny and hot! With a long warm season, you can celebrate your outdoor wedding anytime from May untill October, making it a perfect wedding destination. Although short periods of rain are possible, the Italian climate is usually dry and mild, so you and your loved ones can enjoy being Under the Tuscan Sun! And your wedding photographer can capture those moments without needing to photoshop blue skies into the picture.

5. LA DOLCE VITA

Weddings can be a stressful time, so follow the Italians’ example and have a riposino! The relaxed lifestyle of the Mediterranean will not leave you unaffected, and sooner or later you will forget about the numbers and deadlines, and start enjoying lazy conversations while sipping a glass of wine. Italian lifestyle and culture will ensure you have a relaxed and carefree wedding, so let your Tuscan wedding planner handle all the stressful organization and enjoy the famous Dolce Vita!

6. AMAZING VENUES

Whether you are dreaming of a real castle wedding or a romantic ceremony in a chapel, Tuscany has a variety of wedding venues to offer. You can tie the knot at a civil ceremony in the town hall of a historic village or you may choose a religious ceremony in one of Tuscany’s beautiful churches. As for reception venues, the possibilities are endless: from charming farmhouses with a rustic feel to exclusive hotels that resemble palaces, from small villas that can host a magical intimate celebration to spacious country estates that can house a grand wedding party – whatever your requirements and budget, it will be easy to find your wedding venue in Tuscany!

7. FUN TRANSPORTATION

Iconic symbols of the Italian and International lifestyle, vintage cars are a cool and stylish transportation on your wedding day. You will feel every bit the movie star arriving at your ceremony venue in a vintage Alfa Romeo. And how about admiring your beautiful surroundings through the sunroof of the vintage Fiat 500? Or why not show your quirky side and choose a cute little Vespa – your wedding photographer will create lots of fun images with a prop like that! If you’re brave enough you can go all the way and rent an ape – a less traditional wedding transportation, but every bit unique and memorable!
