Liguria is the narrow arc of coast between France and Tuscany, with Genoa at its centre and mountains rising straight out of the sea. To the east lie Portofino, harbour villages such as Camogli, and the Cinque Terre, whose villages and terraced vineyards are a UNESCO World Heritage site together with Portovenere. To the west are longer beaches and old resorts such as Sanremo.

Weddings here face the sea: a villa garden or a terrace above the water, a small church by the harbour, dinner as the lights come on around the bay. In Genoa, the palazzi of the Strade Nuove — another UNESCO site — suit a city wedding.

## When to marry in Liguria

- **Best:** May, June, September
- **Good with planning:** April, July, August, October

May, June and September are the best months: warm days, with the sea warm enough to swim from June. July is the driest month, but July and August are crowded, above all around mid-August. From September, autumn rain comes in short, heavy storms; October is the wettest month, though still mild.

- **Spring:** Villa gardens in flower and clear air after a shower. The sea is still cool, and evenings by the water call for a wrap.
- **Summer:** Warm rather than scorching, with a sea breeze in the afternoon. Boats fill the bays and visitors the villages — book early.
- **Autumn:** A warm sea in September and the grape harvest on the terraces, then sudden, heavy storms — keep a covered plan.

## Where couples marry here

The kinds of places — ask your photographer which ones they know well.

- **Villas and gardens above the sea:** Old villas on the promontories, with palms, citrus trees and terraces over the water: the whole day in one place.
- **Harbour villages:** Tall pastel houses round a small harbour, a church by the water, an aperitivo on the quay.
- **The Cinque Terre and Portovenere:** Villages stacked on the rocks above the vineyards, and a stone church on the point at Portovenere — for an elopement or a small wedding.
- **Genoa:** Palazzi with frescoed halls in the old centre, and Boccadasse, a fishing harbour within the city, for portraits by the sea.

## Towns and places in Liguria

- [Cinque Terre](https://lensandvows.com/italy/liguria/cinque-terre): Five villages between cliffs and terraced vines, linked by one railway, a few boats and the paths above the sea: a coast for small weddings on foot. (Markdown: https://lensandvows.com/italy/liguria/cinque-terre.md)

## How the light falls

The coast faces south, and the light comes off the sea all day — glaring at midday, soft and warm at either end. Camogli and the Cinque Terre look west and south-west, so their coloured houses glow in the last sun, while in the deeper coves the mountains bring the evening shade early.

## Getting there

Fly into Genoa, about an hour by car from Portofino; Pisa is closer to the Cinque Terre, and Nice to Sanremo. The Cinque Terre are best reached by train or boat, and Portofino lies at the end of a single narrow road — plan how the guests will get around.
