Intimate wedding reception in Palazzo Sasso



Carly & Wayne,
is a nice British couple we met this year .
They decided to have their wedding in Ravello and to give to their relatives and closest friends a chance to get together. 

Ravello

What better occasion than a romantic wedding along the Amalfi Coast?
They chose to get married in early September when the temperature is perfect and the scenery on the Coast is wonderful .

The romantic civil ceremony took place in the Town hall garden of Ravello which lies on the hillside and offers a stunning view of the sea!

After the Civil ceremony the party moved to the next door Hotel Palazzo Sasso for all the guests to have an aperitif followed by a candle light dinner.

 A wonderful aperitif was served in the 2 Michelin stars Rosselini Restaurant terrace.
 
The elegant inside dining room and the outside amazing view on the Amalfi Coast guaranteed  a magical frame for their intimate wedding reception!
The day went perfectly and all  the guests were simply speechless!

Villa Cimbrone wedding reception

"Angela and Giulio,

 were looking for an intimate wedding on the amalfitan coast to reunite the close family scattered among 3 different countries. Ravello and Villa Cimbrone were part of their love story and therefore decided to celebrate the big day there.

We arranged a romantic civil ceremony in the garden of the town hall with music selected by the couple. They had a beautiful walk towards Villa Cimbrone and enjoyed a relaxing lunch at the “ Flauto di Pan” restaurant.

They found the photograph we proposed very professional and able to make them feel at ease while shooting and they loved the album for their pictures made of amalfitan paper."

Jacqueline Kennedy-The Myth and the Reality


Fifty years after her visit to Ravello, Jacqueline Kennedy is still remembered with great affection.The First Lady spent some memorable days here and, feeling very much at home, she promised to return.A promise she was never to fulfil as her husband was assassinated the following year.

As a memorial to a very special lady, Armando Malafronte has dedicated a special  fashion collection with a linen sheath dress and foulard decorated with rose petals as the centre-piece.The design captures Jackie's style, glamour and sophistication.

Photographer GIanni Di Natale


She is still remembered by the residents of Ravello shopping and eating in the many "ristorante" of the town.Her favourite dish was spaghetti with courgettes and fried onion with eggs-a sort of vegetarian carbonara.


In her honour the Capri pants and leather sandals much favoured by the First Lady are still available in the shops here.The owner of "Chez Caprice" is now offering the same design but they are now embossed with Svarovski crystals.

This collection is dedicated to a very special person with a unique sense of chic and glamour.

Arrivederci Jacqueline
