Amalfi Coast catholic wedding

This time we back to you telling  about a wonderful couple of our friends.

Rossella and Daniele are Italian citizens , she lives in Ravello and Daniele in Atrani

They decided to have their wedding ceremony in Ravello and to have their wedding reception in Marmorata by the sea.This has been a good choice for  giving to their relatives and friends the chance to enjoy the hill and the sea in one day.
They chose to get married in September because in this time of the year, the Amalfi Coast offers wonderful scenarios.

Colour of the sky merges with the deep blue of the sea and the lush nature of the slopes mirrors in the water.
A really impressive frame!

But let’s start from the beginning of that fantastic day!

Daniele and Rossella decided for a romantic catholic ceremony in local church of S. Francesco in Ravello.
This baroque style church, lying on the top of the steps is incredibly beautiful.

Floral decorations helped to create a simple and elegant atmosphere that Rossella wanted.
Glass vases, candles and white flowers adorned the marble balustrades beside the altar and the aisle for reaching it.

Rossella had 2 bouquets one made of a white mini calla before going to the church and a purple mini calla bouquet as she walked into the aisle.

Ceremony was very romantic and truly involving.
Bride and groom’s emotion during the exchange of vows touched all friends and family members who came  there for sharing their special day!

After the Catholic ceremony the guests waited for the couple outside the lovely courtyard of the church for the traditional rice and rose petals shower.

While relatives and friends relaxed talking to each other,Rossella and Daniele decided to take an intimate walk down to the Villa Rufolo for taking their wedding pictures and have a moment just for themselves…

The wedding reception was held in the romantic hotel Marmorata which offers a wide open space on the sea.

The food was excellent and the atmosphere unique .

A great professional photographer Alfonso Longobardi  www.alfonsolongobardi.com captured every detail: loving looks, knowing gestures…

After a delicious dinner, they finally had the cutting of the wedding cake.

All the guests were delighted by the special day Daniele & Rossella offered to them.

Congratulation to you both and to this newgreat success arranged by the Ravello Events www.ravelloevents.com .

Our String Quartets are very professional and they play in many famous Italian theatre.
They are able to play during your Wedding day along the Amalfi Coast  and they can perfectly match your personal needs to make your ceremony special.
A string quartet can be the ideal choice for civil service and background music, we would recommend using a String Quartet.
This type of wedding music ensemble is extremely versatile and also very cost effective.
The repertoire available for a string quartet is far wider than for any other small ensemble. Many pop songs and jazz standards can be specially arranged for a string quartet.
As for a religious ceremony Quartets can play in many moments Music will be played for the Processional (walking down the aisle), The Signing of the Register, and the Recessional (walking up the aisle).
The String Quartets will also play during the Prelude (as the guests arrive) and during the Postlude (as the guests leave). The musicians will begin playing 10-15 minutes before the Ceremony, and will normally continue playing for one hour afterwards during the Reception.
No other type of Live music ensemble can match the range, versatility and repertoire of a good String Quartet.

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!
