Among all the arrangements of your big day, planning a sit-down wedding reception plays a defining role in the entire atmosphere of your wedding-party!
Why? Your guests will spend most of their time sitting at the table. That’s why, nothing of your table details can be left to chance! Everything must be perfect!
Do you want to know what will give to your reception table a never-before-seen-style?
Hence, you can’t absolutely miss this table styling tips:
– Make it “SO ME!”
First things first, you should set-up your wedding-vision, because it will totally rule the style of your reception table. Your table styling should mix & match your personality with all the elements of your wedding day, from the flower design to the stationery.
Thus, your day will go smoothly without false notes, in every single moment. Don’t forget: your special day is supposed to tell something about you and your concept of love!
– Pick your color palette
You may tend to think that picking your color palette is an easy-peasy choice, but it’s not like that at all! Generally, people think just about the ‘bridal-white’ as an iconic wedding color related to pure romance and love, but why stop there? Don’t pick banally! Let’s incorporate seasonally hues and on-trend tones in each decorative details that will ‘pop’ your party-table!
And… don’t forget: your color palette should also match with your groom!
– Play with shapes
No matter if your reception table will be a squared table or a classic circular one, what really matters is playing with shapes and giving to your table-look depth and dimension. Hence, incorporating different heights and creating layers on your table will add more harmony and lush! You don’t want your table setting to be flat! From centrepieces to glassware, a creative table styling can really set the scene of your wedding dinner. Just a little note: don’t overload your table, your guests need to talk and look one another!
– Take blooms to your table
You can’t think about your table-design without thinking about flowers too! Blooms are a must-have to give a wow-look to your tables! Classic peaches roses, modern white buds and eucalyptus or sprawling centrepieces including ranunculus, berries and variegated foliage or even lush garlands of white flowers, greenery and lemons are just some of the endless-combos to dress your table up! You just have to choose!
– Light your table up
Chandeliers are a timeless complement for any wedding dinner and if you are looking for a classy and delicate touch… candles are the best way to turn your reception table into a light-filled show! When the golden hour comes, lots of candles will surprisingly work with the twinkle of silver cutlery and crystal glassware creating an eye-catching atmosphere for your guests! Let’s shine!
– Never forget placecards
On each napkins place a namecard with your guests’ names. You’re the star of the day, but don’t forget to make your guests feel important too thanking them for their presence! You can combine fonts, shades and style with your centrepieces for a cohesive look on your table!

How to plan an amazing micro-Wedding to celebrate your postponed Wedding!
The global pandemic forced you and your Groom-to-be to move your Wedding Day to 2021 or beyond, but what if you still want to have a great Wedding celebration? There are so many different special ways to say your ‘Yes,I dos’ now… But how do you get started? Find out more here!
Rethink your Stationery
By the time the pandemic hit, most couples of betrothed sent out the greater part of their Wedding stationery or save-the-date cards at least. And if you’re planning to have a micro-Wedding celebration, you should rethink the paper items you already have without ordering new invitations. Then, add to your invitations a ‘change of plans’ card to send out to your closest family and friends and that’s it!
Choose Wisely
Most likely, you & your Groom want to invite everyone you know to celebrate your special day… But the premise of a micro-Wedding is to celebrate your love just with your closest relatives and dearest friends. Hence, choose wisely your loved ones!
Adjust your Wedding Design
Even if you may want to go with the very same color-palette and flower arrangements you initially chose, I suggest you opt for something different for your micro-Wedding. There are so many blooms and color schemes, don’t get stuck just on the first one!
Find the Right Wedding Venue
Social distancing is paramount, even at a micro-Wedding, so it’s important to consider an open-air setting that will allow guests to have their own space. Our Coast hosts so many secret gardens, private beaches and terraces to choose as a setting of your micro-Wedding where you can easily have a small intimate group in a larger space!
Go for a Single-serve Menu
In order to keep everyone safe, you should go for a single-serve Menu… Mini-bottles of sparkling water, fresh drinks or wine for each guest and pre-plated appetizers with a mix of everything or small portions of fresh culinary specialties for food. Your guests will appreciate it!
Pay attention to the Details
Details are what make your celebration unique to the two of you, so don’t underestimate them for your micro-Wedding… Without a huge number of guests, including personal touches will be more doable! Things like personal vows, calligraphy place cards, serving a favorite dish for dinner or interactive ceremony elements that get your guests involved can make your day unforgettable!
Consider a Destination Wedding
If it’s something you’ve always dreamed of, start looking into how to make it happen… A micro-Wedding might be the best occasion to celebrate your Destination Wedding!
Beautiful venues and my professional work are at your disposal to plan the most romantic micro-Wedding for you on our gorgeous Amalfi Coast!

Top-tips to choose your Bridal Dress!
For the majority of Future Brides, looking for the flawless bridal dress is the most dreamed moment of the whole wedding planning. As is usual, countless brides-to-be dream about their bridal dress for a very long time!
If you’ve planned to get married during the next season and you’re literally dying to try your dress on, browsing magazines and websites looking for your own style, I’m gonna give you my top-tips to jump into your search really ready for!
Research, research, research
Ball gown, a-line or mermaid?! First and foremost, you should have thought about what kind of dress you want, browse magazines and websites, set your Pinterest board up in order to collect your ideas and show it once in the showroom. The more details, the better!
Schedule different appointments
Once you have a clear idea of what you want, it’s time to schedule appointments! In case, you have specific designers or stylist in mind, find out which showrooms have their bridal collections. The day you first try on a bridal dress, it has to be a stressless one…Doubtless, the best day to try your potential bridal dress is Saturday. Go for it!
Less is more
Just like in the movies, the Bride tends to bring her team of maids or family members. Wait! Less is more when it comes to the most important choice of your life. I suggest to invite your dearest just to your last fitting and surprise them revealing your choice!
Don’t’ forget your Venue
Where and when are you getting married? Your Venue is the key thing and it will be helpful in your search. If you will be having an open-air ceremony on the beach or in a garden, you should avoid ball gowns with long trains…they would be ruined after your first steps. If you’re exchanging your vows in an elegant Cathedral, you should avoid short or backless dresses.
Try on everything
Even if you already have your style set, make sure you give other styles a go at your first appointment. You may be surprised by what you find!
Wear a light makeup
You’re going to try on expensive wedding dresses in ivory, white, champagne… Wear a minimal makeup in order to have a natural and candid look…just as you will be on that special day!
Say your YES out loud
Don’t be surprised if you find your dress at the first stroke! Trying on hundreds of dresses will not make your choice easier, usually it just complicates things. Hence, if you find the bridal dress you love the most, go with it and say your YES out loud!
Have fun
The choice of your bridal dress will be one of the best moment of your life. You’ll surely be the center of attention because you’re…the bride-to-be. Have fun!
For this and for many other important moments… I’ll stand by you for your #destinationlove
Let 2021 be the happy one!

P&C: how to celebrate a true love!
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!
