Winter season is about to start and the Christmas spirit has totally enveloped us! How could we not think about presents? And since there is nothing more exciting than giving and receiving gifts, even your guests deserve a surprise on your wedding day!
Weddings are not just about brides & grooms, guests also matter.
If you’re planning on having a destination wedding in our wonderful Coast… for sure your guests are out-of-town and they will travel a long-long way just to join your big day. What can be better to thank them than welcome bags stuffed to the brim?
Here I share my tips about the perfect welcome bag to ensure your guests the-time-of-their-lives throughout your wedding celebrations. It’s a gentle way to show your gratitude to your guests for coming and make them feel really special to you!
First of all, you should consider what packaging you want to use. Your welcome bag can be a mere paper bag or can be turned into a box or funny basket. But, the real issue regards what to fill a welcome bag with. Let’s go and see!
Start telling your guests how thrilled you are about their attendance through a heartfelt welcome note from you and your groom – maybe it would be better to add a personalized map for your guests who aren’t as familiar as you with your destination wedding or itineraries and excursions to let them enjoy the area – Capri Island, Pompei, Herculaneum, Naples, wine tasting, olive oil tasting, we can plan a lot of activities.
After this, mini bottles of fresh water are a must! You should add some beverage or traditional liquors of your destination venue – such as mini Limoncello bottles with customized labels as a typical favors of our Coast to get the party started! Another favor surely loved by your guests will be yummy treats such as candies, mints or locally made sweets to give to your guests a taste of our land and ensure no one gets hungry before your party dinner. And then why not insert paper fans to your wedding bags – really useful with summer temperatures of the Amalfi Coast – and never forget tissues for happy tears!
The best way to make even happier your guests and their welcome bags even more equipped you should include a pair of flip-flops for ladies and cigars for men. These items will definitely make them feel comfortable to the full. Wait, wait, wait! Give a final and playful touch including a sort of post-party ‘recovery kit’ for all those friends who will have more than a drink.
Last but not least, I wish you merry Christmas Holidays & a breathtaking New Year planning with me your dreamy destination wedding.
With love,
Alessandra

Wine Tasting
The Amalfi Coast represents the ideal place to experience a wine tasting. This corner of land hosts so many vineyards where some of the finest Italian wines are being produced. Tasting this variety of flavors combined with typical snacks can be a real treat for your guests’ palate. They will have the opportunity to know more about the history of the wine production process and take away a traditional Italian souvenir on their way back.
Cooking Class
Italy is known world-wide for its vast culinary tradition, so what’s better than a cooking class? For those guests who want to test their culinary skills and know the Italian cuisine to the fullest, it will be possible to arrange real cooking classes in which you will prepare the typical dishes of the Amalfi tradition. A genuine taste of the Coast that will involve all 5 senses!
Boat Tour
From wherever you are on our Coast, you can plan boat trips to reach one of the most beautiful island of Italy, Capri, and wandering around narrow streets and go shopping.
Excursion & Daily Trip
Instead, for the guests that will be intrigued by the history of our Coast, between the hills and the seaside are hidden tiny villages surrounded by the charm of ancient myths and legends, just like the myth of the Nymph Amalfi. And again, for those guests with a more sporty and adventurous spirit, you will find many tracking routes such as the famous Path of the Gods, where you can reach points with a breathtaking view enjoying Italian routes and get in touch with the real Italian mood.
Creating dreams is my job, I can make this and more come true!

A&A’s Destination Wedding: the most colorful way to tie the knot!
the first Haldi Ceremony planned by Wedding Amalfi
Anuj and Abhi, definitely wanted to celebrate their Wedding in the gorgeous setting of the Amalfi Coast
in full respect of the traditions of their culture of origin.
Not everyone knows, Indian weddings are rich in special and meaningful pre-wedding rituals
and the ‘Haldi ceremony’ is one of the most important of all and marks the beginning of the entire wedding celebration.
As the tradition goes, the Haldi ceremony is being held at the Bride’s, but in this case an exception was made.
A&A chose to celebrate their first wedding ritual on a terrace overlooking the crystal-clear waters of the Amalfi Coast.
Surrounded by nature and wrapped in the warm rays of the sun, the duo enjoyed the ceremony to the fullest!
During the Haldi, a rich golden paste made with turmeric, where the ritual gets its name from, was applied onto
the Bride and Groom’s skin before a symbolic bath with a dip in a luxury swimming pool.
Turmeric is considered a natural antiseptic and has the function of ‘protecting’ the marriage.
From decorations to clothes, everything was colored with a yellow color palette as a sign of luck, purity and good health.
After the ritual, the betrothed, had fun with their closest friends and family.
It was just a great intro to the wedding weekend celebrations they had on the Amalfi Coast.
Their ceremony was the most vibrant celebration of Love, a fusion of traditions and Italian beauty.
Such an honor to have been part of!
