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!

Are you dreaming of a super-bachelorette weekend on Amalfi Coast? Let’s plan together!
The lockdown is nearly over and nothing can stop us from fantasizing about a dreamy bachelorette party. Your bachelorette is literally one of the most memorable and funny aspects of planning your destination wedding and having your bachelorette party on the Amalfi Coast, makes it even more memorable. As often happens in movies, bachelorette parties generally occur so close to the wedding day, just the night before. This isn’t exactly true, the majority of bachelorette parties happen within the month prior the wedding. Can you imagine anything funnier than your bridesmaids and you, the moon, pizza and the Amalfi Coast as a frame of these hilarious moments? You are Wow.. let’s wow your bridesmaid!
Here’re my tips to have a bachelorette-of-a-lifetime on Amalfi Coast that will make you daydream!
Enjoy Local Experiences
Your first time on Amalfi Coast? Well, you could spend your bachelorette weekend getting to know our Coast with local tours and interactive activities, such as boat rides. While, if you and your crew have an adventurer spirit you could opt for one of the most beaten tracking trails: the so-called ‘Path of the Gods’. No better way to know the breathtaking landscape of our land!
Pamper yourself and your ladies
What better way to get ready for your wedding day than a Spa Day, surrounded by your closest friends? Amalfi Coast offers a number of luxurious spas with all the bells and whistles. Chilling in a Spa or in a private pool is the best idea of relaxation, isn’t it?!
Wine vibes
When it comes to wine, our Coast hosts some of the finest vineyards in Southern Italy and… celebrating your special days with a wine-tasting experience could be the ideal plan! There is a broad variety of wine-tastings all around the hilly area of our Coast featuring delicious Italian wines such as Falanghina, Aglianico, Fenile and more.
A brunch date
Having a brunch with your favourite people is doubtless a great way to spend the day prior your wedding and it’s the opportunity to taste Italian food in luxury places overlooking the sea. Once your brunch is done, you could add that extra touch of sparkle to your bachelorette weekend with a mini-cruise headed to one of the most beautiful island of Italy, Capri, where hanging around and having some maids and bride-to-be time in a gorgeous Italian frame.
Dance the night away
No bachelorette party is complete without a night out. Hence, you and your squad could spend the night in one of the best club of our Coast from dusk to dawn!
Book your Wedding Bond!

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!
