Ravello catholic ceremony



Lucy and Sebastain came here last October
Their first site inspection was not so good, in fact it was a very rainy day but when they saw the Villa Eva and the wedding pictures showed by the wedding Coordinator , they literally felled in love with it.
Less than one year later,  on 24th August 2013, a wonderful sunny day started for Lucy and Sebastian's wedding.
The wedding Ceremony was planned to be in the Duomo main Church in Ravello.
Lucy got ready in the Hotel Villa Fraulo with her family and bridesmaids while Sebastian got dressed in the Hotel Giordano, a nice 4 stars hotel with pool.
The Religious ceremony was held in the superb Duomo of Ravello. A Romanesque style church, bright and beautiful.
The ushers distributed to all the guests lovely order of service .
Bride are normally late so Lucy did  but… just few minutes because Sebastian was waiting for her on the altar.

When she walked into the aisle , it was very touching especially when she reached Sebastian who kissed her tenderly.
The wonderful sound of a violin and harp made all even more magical.

After the Catholic ceremony, all guests waited  outside the church to throw the traditional rice and rose petals made from Ravello Events especially for them.
While all guests reached the villa Eva for the cocktails , our couple went around Ravello for taking their wedding pictures.
It was a great occasion for taking some beautiful shots of them.
Once arrived at the villa , the maƮtre d welcomed them with 2 flutes of Prosecco .
Together to our photographer Alfonso Longobardi they decided to have some group photos on the villa grass , an ideal setting for the photos!

The gorgeous Spaghetti band started playing during the aperitif till midnight. They were amazing!
At about 7.30 pm  the dinner was ready to be served under the marquee .

Traditional Amalfi Coast lemons together to white and yellow flowers,  decorated the wedding tables and some mini bottles of limoncello were used as wedding favours . The atmosphere was perfect!

They moved by the pizzeria area for the cutting of the wedding cake, a three tiers cake… beautiful!
As grand final bride and groom first dance and then dancing with a DJ till 2.00 a.m.
What a great party!
