As many engaged couples who are getting married during this year, you are forced to handle a wedding postponement and reschedule your wedding celebrations too. Probably, you’ve already slowed down your planning process and went for a change-the-date, but luckily your invitations weren’t ready and sent yet!
Wedding invitations are one of the key things to focus on during your wedding planning. Here, you’ll find out everything you need to know about Wedding Invitations.
Choose Your Style
Your Wedding Invitations give your guests a first idea about what kind of ceremony your wedding will be, so the style of your invitation will say a lot about your marriage: classic and elegant… or casual and romantic?
Whatever the style of your ceremony is, your invitations must represent it to the fullest! If you want to give a romantic touch you should opt for a classic calligraphy or modern graphic design if you prefer a sparkling look.
Match with your Colours
Never forget your Wedding Colours! In order to give your entire ceremony a cohesive look, you should incorporate your colour palette into your wedding invitations as well. Basically, brides-to-be go for ivory, cream or milky-white paired with a dark color which highlights the texts… You could also opt for lively hues, pastel colours or gold and silver metallic fonts. And then, carry them throughout the rest of your wedding paper such as cards, stationery, menus combining them with your venue for example.
Play with Shapes
If you don’t want to choose the classic rectangular shape for your wedding invitations, you could focus on modern and alternative forms such as circular or squared shapes in order to give your invitations an original look!
Choose accurately Your Words
The wording on the invitations should be accurately thought. Traditionally, the main information to be included are bride and groom’s name, date of the big day, general information about location and reception and finally time of your ceremony. You might use traditional wedding invitation wording such as They celebrate their union or informal invitation wording such as Celebrate our Wedding with us, for example. Furthermore, be sure to give your guests a deadline to confirm their presence at your wedding including a final line such as The favor of a reply is requested by… or a more informal one such as R.V.S.P. Last but not least, do not forget your thank-yous!
Put a decoration
Add some personal touches to your Wedding Invitations such as a wax seal with your initials, a ribbon, a tiny flower or a scented item. Your guests will feel pampered from the get-to!
When to Send
Generally, invitations should be sent 3 or 4 months before the Wedding. You & your Hubby-to-be have been planning your big day for the last year, but your guests need to save the official date on their calendars in advance. Moreover, if you’re having a Destination Wedding, you should send out your invitations even earlier… your guests may also need to ask for time off from work and make hotel reservations.

Looking for the perfect wedding colour palette?
When you’re in the planning process, you’ll probably get asked “What is your colour palette?” and are you going crazy about it? I knew it! Picking the ‘right’ hue and matching it with every details of your wedding day is definitely not a simple matter. The shades chosen will shape the most of your wedding decisions, like flowers or bridesmaid dresses. It will become a sort of guideline.
First things first, you should get inspired by your venue and the general setting of your wedding ceremony. Your venue absolutely need to work with your colours, hence, use it and its surroundings to come up with your shades and your colour-code will highlight what you love the most about your venue. In addition to this, you should think seasonally to bring out your shades, just like you do with your clothes! Take inspiration from the season you’re getting married and set the personal vibe you want to have on your special day: romantic, nostalgic, festive and so on. And… don’t overthink it, I’ll show you some of the coolest colour-combos.
Lavender, Sage & Dusty
Best played with: spring or autumn season weddings.
Tips for pulling it off: this light pastel palette perfectly fits with a sophisticated open-air reception. Inebriate your guests’ senses with the scent of lavender incorporating it into your welcome cocktail and placecards along with other aromatic herbs and eucalyptus.
Navy, Cerulean, Yellow & Pearl
Best played with: summer destination weddings.
Tips for pulling it off: if you’re celebrating your day on a terrace sea-view get inspired by this seafaring colour-combo. Navy and cerulean tones will fully match with the sea…and the yellow will give that bright Italian touch. Thus, you can lean on white blooms placing navy and yellow details everywhere, like table-setting and favors.
Ivory & Antique Gold
Best played with: formal weddings.
Tips for pulling it off: What could be more romantic than a timeless wedding palette? Outfit your tables with a chic blanket of cream tablecloths and arrange garlands of greenery and ivory flowers for an elegant and romantic atmosphere. White candles and golden candlesticks are the ideal! In short it’s your call…you’ll see colours you already love in a new way!

Tips for a Perfect fall Wedding
Autumn is not only the season of the first rains but also of those wonderful sunny days whose heat is not at all excessive,
in fact pleasant! I would say the climate that still allows you to think of a reception taking advantage of outdoor spaces as well.
From October and November onwards, landscapes are tinged with warm and harmonious shades of bold oranges, vivid reds, ruby hues and warm yellows.
All nuances that by the way can also be used as your wedding theme, imagine the mise en place with these colors combined with the whiteness of white!
Colors that can also be used in graphics for invitations or bridesmaids’ dresses.
About the wedding dress. The fall season offers you more opportunities to range over a vast number of models: long-sleeved or three-quarter sleeves, in lace or other fabrics, for a truly dramatic effect.
As for the look, autumn season is also perfect for going to embellish your hair with wreaths of flowers, leaves or even berries.
Most importantly, though, as far as your make-up is concerned, which, going back to the topic of temperatures,
will not run because of the heat and you will therefore be more likely to stay flawless until the end of the day.

M&S: when love grows like a seed!
A Wedding in the name of Nature planned by Wedding Amalfi
M&S are two extra-ordinary human beings who live in total respect for nature and in a very deep mutual love.
Like many couples, S&M, want their Wedding Day to be unforgettable: from the ‘Yes, I will’ to the ‘Yes, I do’ I was by their side.
Here, I’ll tell you some details about their life and story… they’re Salvatore and Michela!
Salvatore is a landowner and Michela works as a nutritionist using natural products to give wellness to her patients. Their love is so real and strong
They respect and support each other in their work and personal adventures
and truly wanted to share the rest of their lives together.
Where to set up the flawless Marriage Proposal? Definitely on the Amalfi Coast!
On the occasion of the marriage proposal, with my complicity, Salvatore planned a great surprise for his beloved Michela tooking part in a photoshoot in Positano made by the well-known photographer Gianni Di Natale. After the shooting, Salvatore booked a room and arranged a dinner on a private terrace to make that day by far the most romantic one.
At the end of the dinner, the waiter brought a cake with two flutes of champagne: in Michela’s one there was the ring! And then what? On September 18, they chose Saint Peter Church in Cetara and Giardini del Fuenti to celebrate their Love.
Nothing was left to chance, every single choice made by the couple during the planning process of their Wedding Day had its symbolic meaning: the Church honors Saint Peter, a great worker and wise man, just like Salvatore is!
In his company, La Palma, Salvatore helps people who arrive in Italy looking for a better life, donating lands and teaching them to cultivate and produce high quality products. The products are sold throughout Italy under an important Italian brand, Conad, with particular names: the tomato is called ‘R Accolto’, in Italian stands for the fusion between the words collected and welcomed. Moreover, the fishing village of Cetara for its history and tradition strongly linked to his work ideology and Giardini del Fuenti, the perfect venue where beauty and nature coexist, exactly like they wanted.
The key elements were generosity, prosperity, roots and nature!
This was the reason why their cards were printed on paper containing seeds. Their guests received the cards with steps to plant those seeds that will tell the story of their love again and again. Every single detail of M&S’ Wedding speaks the language of nature and love: from the original tableau de mariage to the monogram on their wedding table made of asparagus, fennel, wheat, broccoli and olive tomatoes kept together by the initials of the newlyweds names.
A Wedding I will remember forever!
