Christmas themed Wedding

Christmas is always a favourite day of the year for most, so it is interesting to share the holiday spirit in a wedding day  .

 Here are a few of the things that you are welcome to borrow or get ideas from.

Have a harp or violin during the ceremony; as people sat down they can play a mix of light classical and Christmas holiday music. 

Decorate the aisles of the ceremony using white and red poinsettias. 

Use shiny ornaments inside of big glass bowls as centrepieces . They look awesome and guests can take them home as one of their favours. 

If it is an evening wedding, decorate the outside of the venue with lots of Christmas lights. 

If possible place a Christmas tree in the lobby of the reception venue and decorate it with wooden toy soldier ornaments , mini stockings with homemade Gingerbread Cookie and a homemade Music CD with Xmas and love songs.

Put names on each with ribbon and hung them from the tree, they will act as both place cards and favours. 

As a non-alcoholic aperitif drink, you could offer Hot Chocolate with Candy Canes and whipped cream. It will definitely become the hit of the night,  people will beg for more,  it is so yummy!

Apple cider with cinnamon sticks can go on each table along with champagne; for the toasts.

Tables can be named after famous Christmas Carols, like: Jingle Bells, Deck the Halls, Let It Snow,etc. 

The idea for the wedding Cake can be to made it look like a huge Christmas Present.

The Menus can be  like a Christmas Cards.

It’s a lot of fun planning all the creative ideas for a Christmas themed wedding. 

My advice though is just don't go over the top with it .. keep the details flowing true to who the bride and groom are as people and enjoy your Christmas wedding. 

 

 

 

Winter weddings

Winter weddings are fabulous and the you brides who get married in winter time are very lucky.
Sure you don't get sunshine and hot days, but you get the chance of snow and creating a darn right cosy spot.
Sparkles, snow, candles and blankets adorn these weddings to create a romantic space during these cold months.
There are a variety of winter elements that can make the perfect winter wedding.
A cosy fireplace could be the perfect backdrop for the ceremony.
Cotton and candles are perfect details to add to this space .
It is important to create a romantic and warm place for guests to feel comfortable and make your wedding unforgettable .
Wood, burlap and other organic details are a great addition to candle lit nights and a variety of white details
Bright colours can be add into this mix  because this palette of colour is pretty simple, so anything else you add is just as great of an addition to make your night so personal .
For the bride, it is important to stay warm, find the perfect cover-up to compliment your attire although we know that after spending all that money on a dress, you are going to want to show it off as well!

Civil Ceremony in town hall of Ravello ancient building

 At the beginning of October, we welcomed Romina and her fiancé coming from Naples for the celebration of their Civil wedding .

After a period of indifferent weather the sun came out for their arrival and it stayed fine for their big day.

The day began with Angela the wedding planner meeting with the bride in her room at the Hotel Palumbo.

Our make up artist and our hairdresser started very early their work in the hotel room.

When she was ready, our bride , made her way along the romantic narrow pathway that leads to the Ravello Town hall .

To the accompaniment of Pachelbel ‘s Canon the bride walked across a bed of flowers to the area prepared for their celebration.

The service was conducted by the Civil state officer of the Town Hall of Ravello , a gentle lady called Graziella Ghidini.

With Beethoven’s Romanza as a background they signed the Civil Register and they made their wedding legally binding.

Congratulations from Ravello Events

Protestant Wedding in Villa Eva

We met Felicity and Darren last winter after Christmas time.

They came to Ravello for visiting our most popular Wedding Venues .
We immediately had a good feeling with them.
In fact they said that after the visit they had no doubt about entrusting us with the most special day of their lives.
Our couple decided to get married in the beautiful town of Ravello .
They decided to have a lovely wedding along the Amalfi Coast last September with a lot of British guests.

Ravello in summer is simply stunning and romantic, but their wedding day was simply amazing with such a blue sky reflected in the sea below!
The night before Felicity and Darren invited all the guests to their pre wedding dinner night.
The whole group met at the Pizzeria da Salvatore for tasting the starters and the best Italian Pizza .
This was a successful night, all the wedding party were enthusiastic about the stunning view on the Coast admired from this typical Italian pizzeria .

On her wedding day, Felicity was such a beautiful and refined bride!
Her wedding dress was particularly elegant and her hair tied in a chignon was so chic!
She was simply stunning.

The couple got married in St. Maria a Gradillo Church with a Methodist legally binding ceremony .
The church was arranged all in  white : white flowers, white carpet , white kneeler and white candles.

At the end of the Methodist ceremony, they moved all the guests in the near Piazza and they offered a traditional Italian wedding aperitif in the main square of Ravello.
The wedding reception took place in the private and exclusive Villa Eva .
As a table decoration, they decided to have a white lantern which symbolized the fire of their love.
They had  a very good dinner with local dishes shared with their wonderful group of relatives and friends .
A special thanks to Mike Garrad for the beautiful shots and to this special couple that agreed to publish their shots on our blog!

What a wonderful wedding day!
