Italy Emerges as America’s Wedding Haven Amid Trump-Era Visa Hurdles and Soaring Costs.

In the USA

The news as it trends

As visa restrictions and Trump-era tariffs strain international travel, some Americans are turning to Italy for their dream weddings.

Couples say it’s increasingly difficult to bring loved ones from abroad—largely due to tightened visa regulations and elevated costs from past trade policies.

At the same time, everyday expenses in the U.S., from groceries to services, have surged, prompting some to seek affordable elegance elsewhere, according to reports.

Italy, with its romantic charm and streamlined visa process, offers both elegance and practicality.

Last year, over 15,000 foreign couples tied the knot in Italy, with Americans accounting for nearly a third.

From vineyard vows to ancient city strolls, for many Americans, Italy isn’t just a picturesque escape—it’s a smart one.
