• Side-Swept Curls : a timeless red carpet standard.
• Wispy Tendrils: face-framing sections come back after a pause for reflection.

What’s the news for 2023 Wedding Trends? Let’s go take a look!

1. Terracotta Color Palettes

is the watchward: the earthy color scheme that’s inspired by the rich, reddish-brown tones

of terracotta clay. It includes shades of deep red, orange, and brown, and it’s perfect for a fall

or rustic-themed wedding. It is really suitable for a cozy, romantic celebration.

It also looks amazing against natural settings, like outdoor gardens or rustic barns,

and it pairs well with natural materials like wood, stone, and greenery.

2. Retro-Inspired Wedding Cakes

It’s a cake that’s inspired by the styles and trends of a specific era, like the 50s or 60s.

They often have fun, retro-inspired details like bold colors, patterns, and shapes.

3. Wedding Maximalism

As opposed to the “less is more” design approach, maximalist weddings embrace doing more,

more, more! Lots of colors, lots of patterns, and lots of textures!

This could be just used for the reception space or the ceremony to different the two spaces –

or it could be the overall theme of the wedding day!

4. Flower Bouquet Minimalist

Flower Bouquet is not more the principle detail. It have to be small and delicate, able to embellish the look of the bride without dominate it. Absolute star will be lavender flowers, dried flowers and handly opened roses.

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.

a 50th Wedding Anniversary
planned by Wedding Amalfi

A lifetime love-story between a world-famous Italian Ship Commander and his wife!

When a couple reaches such a milestone, it’s customary to renew love promises with a religious ceremony,
just like the time the very first ‘Yes, I do’ was pronounced.

From South Africa, S&S came back to Italy to celebrate one of the most important moments of their life!

Their love story began more than 50 years ago.
Sandra and Salvatore were just two teenagers who lived a few meters away in a neighborhood of Southern Italy;
She was the most beautiful girl Salvatore had ever seen and he was the most lively guy she had ever known.
How not to fall madly in love?

Since their first meeting, they have spent their lives together among sea, projects, dreams, ships and family.
Salvatore step from the Navy to become president of MSC Cruises in South Africa traveling all over the World and
reaching the most important life goals with Sandra by his side. Nowadays, Salvatore is best-known as the Captain of
Shosholoza, the Italian man who challenged the America’s Cup letting people remember the last name Sarno.

On the occasion of their 50th Wedding Anniversary, the boundless love for the sea and their roots
brought them back to their hometown in the Church of Saints Simon and Judas Thaddeus
to celebrate their love again and again.

After an intimate religious ceremony, the couple held a total golden party in Capo d’Orso inviting
their guests to a Michelin-starred dinner in the prestigious restaurant Il Faro di Capo D’Orso.

The most special event for the most special people in the flawless setting of the Amalfi Coast planned with ‘all the love in the World’!

Thanks a million to the Sarno Family for choosing my team and I for the third time as the planners of their events.

The magic of the sea from an ancient tower planned by Wedding Amalfi

Paola and Carmine, a young Italian couple, fell in love when they were just two kids
and since then they’ve always lived their lives together.

Carmine is a passionate, creative and brilliant young man who is dedicated to photography and fashion.
A strong passion that he turned into a real job.

Paola is a sophisticated, calm, accurate woman.
A woman who truly loves details and precision.
Not without reason, numbers are an important part of her work.

Travel, hobbies, sports, adventures, art, cooking, wine: that’s all Paola and Carmine share!
Their relationship is a kind of symbiosis mixed with osmosis made of four arms and two hearts that beat as one.

After meeting them and knowing their story, I thought a lot about what their Special Day should be like…
…and I imagined it on the sea!
The perfect venue for their Wedding?
An ancient Saracen Tower, ‘Torre Crestarella’ in Vietri sul Mare.

Their marriage and union symbolized beauty, nature, history, tradition and love.
Everything was flawless!

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!
