Among the first problems to be solved to give life to a marriage is definitely the one related to bureaucracy. Although it may seem trivial, without the right documents, permits, and publications your dream will remain a mirage. In order to speed up the paperwork, we recommend that you contact an experienced city official who is familiar with the dynamics of marriage, especially those related to such fast-paced timelines. If your desire is to get married in a church, then you should also contact the priest of your choice, setting up with him the essential dates of the premarital course. Given the national timeline, it is critical to address this step as soon as possible.

If you are looking for a fashionable dress you will most likely not find the latest model, times are tight and you have to make do, but surely there are endless solutions that will guarantee an excellent result. Three months is also perfect for making a bespoke dress, the best tailors are masters at sewing the ideal outfit and 90 days is more than enough time to make you happy.

If you love seasonal flowers, then you can decide whether to buy them directly from the wholesale market or from a florist, while if you are particularly attached to the environment, the choice of flowers in cloth or eco-sustainable could provide that wow effect always appreciated by guests. Flowers are an aesthetic representation of your personality, while wedding rings symbolize a much more intimate and personal love.

In this case it is right to choose a quicker and simpler approach, able to inform everyone and give the happy news in a best way. Many countries even use email invitations, but Italy is still tied to traditions and an invitation directly to the home, for those close, and through Social (WhatsApp and similar) are reliable means.
