Mediterranean Diet has an Heart
The Mediterranean dietary pattern is an example of a prudent choice of lifestyle and scientifically accepted to help preserve human health by protecting against major chronic and inflammatory diseases. Mediterranean diets (MedDiets) are characteristically high in the consumption of fruits, vegetables and salad, bread and whole grain cereals, potatoes, legumes/beans, nuts, and seeds. The Cilento Coast is the heart of the Mediterranean Diet with some of the best treasures of Italian cuisine:
-
Mozzarella di Bufala: creamy buffalo mozzarella pairs perfectly with ripe tomatoes and olive oil
-
Extra Virgin Olive Oil: the Mediterranean diet provides the usage of olive oil as the main source of fat. The health benefits attributed to olive oil are specifically related to extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) intake with its high nutritional quality and multiple positive effects on health.
-
Wine: cilento covers rosso (red), rosato (rosé) and bianco (white) wines as well as two varietally labeled titles: Aglianico and Fiano (both local mainstays).

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!

It’s time to celebrate your engagement party!
People always talk about weddings, weddings, weddings…. What about your engagement party? Your fiancé popped the question and you said a massive ‘Yes, I will!!!’ Your wedding will be held next year, you haven’t chosen the date yet… but it’s already time to celebrate!
Once your engagement news comes out, everyone will want to congratulate you and an engagement party will sound perfect! I’m pretty sure a few questions about the planning of your engagement party are probably swirling around your brain. Read on to find out everything you need to know about planning the flawless engagement party…
When having your engagement party?
Generally, the engagement party falls within a few months of the proposal, that moment in your life you’re just-engaged and you start thinking about the Wedding planning. In case you’re going to have your engagement party on Amalfi Coast, the beginning of September or the Spring season are without a shadow of doubt the best periods.
Who throws the party?
Traditionally, Bride’s parents are expected to host the first official celebration, but you don’t necessarily have to follow the rules. Nowadays, anyone can throw the engagement party and you can throw your own party… your parents, friends and relatives may join the party just as guests. It’s really up to you!
Where should it take place?
Regarding the location of your engagement party, you may decide to have your party in your own city or hold it in the country you may choose for your destination wedding. It is also true that many couples celebrate with different engagement parties because their friends and family are spread all over the World, so you could celebrate in two different places! You just need to think about the vibe you want to create: a more elegant and original setting or a casual and informal one? For example, our Coast boasts a huge variety of hotel terraces or private beaches where you can hold your unforgettable party.
Need to send invitations?
You or whoever is going to throw the party should send official engagement party invitations. Go for plain and informal paper invitations or even opt for digital invites. And don’t worry if you haven’t chosen your wedding color palette or even your wedding date, the engagement party invitations don’t have to match with the rest of your stationery.
Who should be invited?
Following the rules, everyone who will be invited to your engagement party must be invited to your Wedding too. By the way, engagement party guest list expectations have changed! Engagement parties can definitely include people who aren’t invited to the wedding, so feel free to invite all the people you want to share the big news with or whoever you want to have at your side. For a destination engagement party, I suggest you invite just a few people!
What about decorations?
Don’t rush into choosing your wedding colors or theme so that your engagement party can match with details, themes and decors: candlelight, balloons, confetti and floral arrangements are always the best choice!
In short, an engagement party is a great way to share the exciting news and get family and friends together to celebrate… Why not celebrate it on Amalfi Coast?
I’m waiting for you!
