Alessandra 01/10/2024 0
As a matter of fact, wedding plans continue to be impacted by the emergency COVID19, but although this pandemic period, we can consider ourselves lucky to live in a digital era where information is at our fingertips, video calls are on our screens and planning our Wedding Day is easily possible from your desk.
Here, I’m going to tell you how I thought to virtually plan every aspect of your Wedding Day together with the vendors I usually work with!
Identify your Vision
Once you have a date, start identifying your Wedding vision and then start looking for a professional Wedding Planner who can make it come true.
Meet virtually with your Planner
Many planners like me have jumped on the virtual world using different platforms to plan ceremonies and make their presence felt even at a distance. Thereby, all your wedding planning worries will be at ease!
Organize a virtual venue tour
During this pandemic period, most Wedding venues are now offering personal site tours via FaceTime or Skype. Virtual tours allow the couple to see the venue in real time, you can literally have a walk through your venue with the help of your Wedding Planner asking for all the information you need without risking your safety. What better way to find your Wedding venue right from home than a virtual tour?
Meet virtually your Vendors
Virtual consultations with your future vendors are a great way to meet them and know each other. Set up an initial consultation via Skype or FaceTime with photographers, floral designers, make-up artists, bands and so on always with the essential help of your Planner. They can show you samples of their work and talk about their packages as well.
Caterer & Cake Tasting
Tasting the food is a key thing for choosing which dishes you want your guests to enjoy during your Wedding Day. Just like your venue it’s impossible to complete a tasting in person right now, you can request sample tasting of the food and cake that they offer available for a take away service.
Can’t wait to meet you and plan together…
Dreams never stop!

2023 Bridal Dress and Hairstyle Trends
Every element of your bridal look should reflect your personality and style—and your hair is no exception, but the recent wedding boom proved that the hottest bridal hair trends of 2023 are:
- Side-Swept Curls : a timeless red carpet standard.
- Wispy Tendrils: face-framing sections come back after a pause for reflection.
- High Updos: are back and we are again in ’90s Style
- The Sleek Bun: if you want a sophisticated, chic, posh, elegant style.
- Center Part with Tucked-Back Bangs: a classic hairstyle, pratical and cool.
- Effortless Curls: natural and minimalist for a perfect Boho Style
Searching for the perfect wedding dress is maybe the first bride`s thought. There are no rules that dictate what a bride can and cannot wear,but let’s take a look of 2023 wedding dress trends:
-
- Ornate Embellishments: opposite to minimalist, this trend come back after several seasons. And so is the time for jewels, diamonds, crystals, and allover beading.
- Sumptuous Sleeves: and it is like going back to the mid-1800s. This is perfect if you want a romantic style
- Slight Hints of Color : yes white, but with a bit of sophisticated colors.
- Raised Hemlines : green light to mini dresses, more practical and suited for short women.
- Body-Hugging Silhouettes: a must not for all.
- Trousers: because the sexual revolution is finally complete.
- Deconstructed dressing: a huge uplift in requests for cool separates to change up their look from day to night with minimal effort.
- Capes: this season saw the presence of elegant, detachable capes in many looks. With some looks, delicate lace and gauze fabrics were embellished with floral embroidery or beading for an especially feminine style.

Christmas is coming and… my tips too!
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

Your Catholic Destination Wedding On Amalfi Coast
It’s not a surprise that many couples choose Italy as their wedding destination. If you and your husband-to-be are planning to have a Catholic Wedding Ceremony in Italy as well, our gorgeous Coast offers a broad variety of timeless charming Churches located in breathtaking sites where the Italian artistic heritage blends with the beauty of the Mediterranean cliff & blue waters. From intimate and ancient Chapels to majestic Cathedrals the choice is really wide! Well, I’ll show you a selection of the three most ancient and impressive Churches of the Amalfi Coast if you’d love to celebrate your religious rite in one of the most romantic wedding destinations of the world.
The Cathedral of Ravello
The Cathedral of Ravello is one of the most ancient Catholic Church of our Coast, built in 1086, takes the main square of the town overlooking the entire cliff. Since that time, it has undergone various makeovers, in the 12th and 17th centuries, and again totally restored in 1973. By the way, the interior preserves its authentic ancient charm with a wide central nave and two aisles artistically decorated with valuable gold mosaics. Moreover, the ancient columns, the marbles, the century bronze door, treasures from Roman times and paintings by southern Renaissance artists are surely worth a look. And…if you’re planning an elegant and romantic wedding this Church with its incomparable beauty will provide the perfect setting creating a mesmerizing effect all around you!
The Amalfi Cathedral
Also known as the historical Duomo of St. Andrews, is doubtless one of the most impressive Church of Italy. The Duomo rises in the main square of Amalfi, at the end of an imposing staircase composed of sixty-two steps leading to the doors. Also this one has been renewed several times adding romanesque, byzantine, gothic, and baroque elements. It’s structure includes four small towers adorned with arches and covered with majolica tiles. An extraordinary place to keep your wedding vows forever just in the heart of the Amalfi Coast!
The Church of Santa Maria Maddalena in Atrani
The Collegiate was built in 1274 on the ruins of a medieval fortress on the initiative of the inhabitants of Atrani to thank the Saint, who released them from a handful of sailors. Nowadays, the Church has definite architectural characteristics, such as the dome of majolica and an elegant bell-tower of the 16th century. It’s the best site for an afternoon wedding, on the ringing of the church bells there will be a wonderful sunset waiting for you and your guests!
To sum up, these are just some of the wonders of this corner of land, several other exist. No country in the world can compete with the choice of venues that Italy boasts for a religious ceremony. Thus, I’ll stand by you, in every step, towards the choice of your #destinationlove. You just have to say “Yes, I do!”.
