The longest bridal train in the world: Record-breaking wedding dress stretches over TWO MILES of Italian church steps



Brides seeking a showstopping dress to ensure all eyes are on them for their big day need look no further.
This incredible silk and tulle concoction, designed by Gianni Molaro, boasts a record-breaking train measuring almost two miles in length.

It was modelled today on the steps of Rome's Trinita dei Monti in Italy to celebrate the opening of Molaro's new workshop, the sheer white material rippling out over the Renaissance stonework to complete the fairytale effect.
Tourists snapped away as three spectacular looking brides posed on the Spanish Steps in front of the Fountain of Four Rivers.
The incredible cream veil was worn by Elena De Angelis for her wedding in the Naples village of Casal di Princice last September.


 
Her train - which was around 28 times the length of Manchester United's Old Trafford pitch - was carried by an army of volunteers as Miss De Angelis was driven through the streets in a vintage car.
Around 20,000 people attended her wedding to Ferdinand Pucci last year to see the outfit that took dozens of seamstresses months to make.
Made from 1.86-mile (three kilometres) of tulle bordered by six miles of silk, the endless train is apparently tied for the title of world's longest with a design by Andree Salon for this year's Wedding Fair in Bucharest.

A model wearing the silk and lace gown took to the sky in a hot-air balloon in March, allowing the gargantuan train to billow out over the Romanian capital.
Mr Molaro said of his creation last year: 'I was really grateful to be asked to design this veil. I met tens of thousands of people on the way to the church who complimented my idea.
'I wanted this veil to symbolise peace and hope and I think we have achieved this.
'This has been one of the biggest moments in my career as a designer.'
There would be no making a dash for it at the altar in this supersized outfit.
Experts estimate it would take Usain Bolt almost five minutes to run its full length, running at blistering world recording pace.

Autumn Weddings in Italy - Limited Availability



Getting married this coming Autumn season 2012 in Italy will be the most beautiful time of the year! September and October are the months of the wine harvest, when the Italian countryside is full of the most colorful Autumn landscape.
It is the best time of year to experience the areas of Tuscany, Piedmont, Cinque Terre, Puglia and Sicily.
The backdrop for your wedding can be vineyards in full bloom and rolling hills filled with the beautiful gold’s, red’s, oranges and yellow’s, making for a true Italian romantic dream wedding!
You and your guests can take part in the wine harvest and enjoy the wine tastings to the fullest on properties with the richest vineyards in the world!

Here are a few of our speciality wedding locations in Italy:

Perugia Town Hall

The monumental walls and bristling crenellation of Palazzo dei Priori mark it as Umbria's finest public building. The facade is decorated with symbols of Perugia's past power: the griffin is the city's symbol and the lyon denotes Perugia's allegiance to the medieval Guelph (papal) cause. Among its finely decorated rooms is the Sala dei Notari (1295), originally an assembly hall for the people of Perugia, which is frescoed with scenes from the Old Testament by Pietro Cavallini.


Castle in Tuscany

This property is situated in the Tuscan countryside and is a cluster of Tuscan farmhouses forming a small village on high ground with a spectacular 12th century castle. You can marry and have your reception at the castle and stay in the accommodations.

Here comes the bride and her TWO MILE train: Italian village brought to standstill by record-breaking wedding dress


This bride went a tiny bit over the top with her wedding dress with a train that takes some stopping.
They say it’s a day you should never forget – and that’s certainly the case for Italian bride Elena De Angelis and the village of Casal di Princice.
She has broken the world record for the longest wedding dress by arriving to the church with a mammoth, 3km (1.86 mile) long veil.

Hundreds of schoolgirls and their mothers turned out to help the bride-to-be along the streets of her village.
The Gianni Molaro designed cream dress, which is made from 6,000 metres of silk chord, is expected to be confirmed as the world’s longest by the Guinness book of Records.
 
It’s apparently 28 times the length of Manchester United's Old Trafford pitch and would take Usain Bolt running at blistering world recording pace almost five minutes to run its full length.
Driven to the church in a vintage car Elena was applauded by the entire village.
The veil literally stretched for miles and had to be carefully collected by designers after Elena arrived in the church.

Up, Up and Away - Hot Air Balloon Wedding Over Tuscany?


Tuscany with its landscapes and historical sites, offers a great opportunity for hot air ballooning. The surrounding areas of Florence (Chianti, Mugello valley) or Siena (Crete Senesi, Pienza, San Gimignano, Montepulciano), Volterra and the north of Maremma (etruscan archeological sites) represent some potential areas for unforgettable flights.

We can arrange additional balloons for your guests. Or you can choose to have the ceremony on the ground and then just the couple take off.

The balloon wedding might be a better option for a couple eloping, so for just the two of them, alone, in Italy for their wedding and honeymoon.

We suggest you fly early in the morning or afternoon, when winds are calm and gentle. Flight duration can last from 45 minutes to 1 hour or an hour and a half, depending on the speed and direction of the wind.

After the flight, in the best tradition of ballooning, pilot and crew will be glad to offer a "champagne cheers" to our wedding couple and a personalized memento of flight.

Coleen and Wayne are married - An Italian Dream Wedding!

Wayne Rooney married childhood sweetheart Coleen McLoughlin yesterday, in a lavish Italian ceremony that cost a reported £5 million.

The couple started the day with a 20-minute civil ceremony at the Villa Durazzo, where they were married in front of a small group of close family and friends.

SEE COLEEN AND WAYNE'S WEDDING GALLERY HERE

The bride wore a white strapless dress, with fitted bodice and full chiffon skirt. She topped off the look with a pair of white Christian Louboutin court shoes. The groom went tie-less in a brown suit.

Although the couple jetted to the sunny Italian Riviera for their nuptials, Coleen faced every bride's worst nightmare as the day saw heavy rain and thunderstorms, and she made her way to the bridal car flanked by huge umbrellas.

The bride was reportedly tearful as she was pronounced Mrs Rooney, by Santa Margherita Vice Mayor Gianni Costa.
