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!

Exploring the Enchanting Cilento Coast: A Mediterranean Gem!

Nestled along the southern Tyrrhenian Sea, the Cilento Coast—also known as the Costiera Cilentana—beckons travelers with its rugged beauty, ancient history, and culinary delights. Let’s embark on a journey through this captivating stretch of Campania, where azure waters meet lush hillsides.

A Coastal Symphony: where Land and Sea Embrace

The Cilento Coast extends from the Gulf of Salerno to the Gulf of Policastro, encompassing picturesque towns and pristine beaches. This region is an integral part of the vast Cilento territory, which constitutes two-thirds of Salerno province.

Coastal Charms!

  • Pollica: With its charming hamlets of Acciaroli and Pioppi, Pollica boasts the coveted Blue Flag for its pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters.

  • Pisciotta: Wander through ancient streets, discover hidden coves, and indulge in fresh seafood. The Blue Flag waves proudly here too.

  • Centola: Home to Marinella, Le Saline, and Le Dune, Centola’s coastline is a paradise for beach lovers. The Blue Flag flutters along its shores.

  • Ascea: Explore the ancient ruins of Velia, bask on the sandy shores of Marina di Ascea, and relish the coastal breeze.

  • Montecorice: From San Nicola to Baia Arena, Montecorice offers idyllic beaches and a taste of authentic Cilen
  • Casalvelino: Discover the Lungomare, visit the Isola, and soak up the sun. The Blue Flag flies high here.

  • Camerota: Cala Finocchiara and San Domenico welcome seafarers with open arms. A Blue Flag flutters at their shores.

  • Lustra: characterized by rich vegetation which makes the landscape lush and rich in numerous animal and plant species typical of the Mediterranean scrub, a very developed activity is fig growing.

Good News!

Starting from July Low-cost airlines announce their summer ‘24 flight schedules to Salerno’s Costa d’Amalfi Airport.

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 Timeless Escape

In this splendid setting is the Castle of Rocca Cilento, one of the locations of our heart to get Married in a Medieval Castle where history meets modern excellence. In May this ancient and magical castle will host the first edition of Olivitaly Med.

As you explore the Cilento Coast, let ancient temples, sun-kissed beaches, and warm-hearted locals weave their magic. Whether you’re sipping limoncello by the sea or savoring handmade pasta, this coastal gem invites you to create memories that linger like the scent of salty air.

Buon viaggio!

Fall in LOVE with your Fall Wedding Ceremony!

When it comes to the best period of the year to get married, people usually tend to go for the Summer Season. And if I told you that Autumn is the most amazing time of the year to get married? Just like I said! There’re so many reasons why Autumn is one of the most popular Wedding Seasons: the mild weather, earthy warm colours, the wild foliage, the romantic atmosphere and… with all the restrictions the global pandemic have caused, forcing many couples to postpone their summer ceremonies this year, Fall Weddings have become more popular than ever!

Therefore, if you’re deciding your new date, you can’t go wrong with a mid-September, October or late November Wedding Ceremony… And of course, here come my tips!

Best places for a Fall Wedding Day

Doubtless, outdoor venues can worderfully fit with your Fall Wedding Ceremony. Especially if you’re getting married here, on Amalfi Coast, where leaves change their colors during the season offering exclusive venues with scenic views such as vineyards where some of the finest wines of our land are produced or ancient villas overlooking the sea.

Best Fall Wedding Colors

Traditionally, a respectable Fall Wedding Color Palette includes burgundy, purple, mustard yellow, rose gold, emerald green, navy blue, orange and ivory. All the shades that the landscapes of our Coast boast in every period of the year, between land and sea. Hence, you just need to think about colors that you naturally see during the Fall Season and build your color palette around those for a flawless Fall Wedding Ceremony.

Flowers, flowers, flowers

Your Fall Flower Setting should mirror the earthy and romantic tones of the current season, so you should choose the warmest blooms: dahlias, ranunculus, roses or sunflowers… Mixing fresh and dried flowers and filling it with wild coloured foliage and twigs of eucalyptus… And why not incorporating grape clusters, local chestnuts or tiny pumpkins.

Outdoor or Indoor?

Although our Coast is characterized by a mild climate throughout the year, the one thing about your Fall Wedding Ceremony will be unpredictable is definitely the weather, it could be very hot or very cold during the Fall Season. For your ceremony, I suggest you choose an outdoor space to fully embrace the backdrop provided by nature during the daytime and book an indoor space for the second part of your ceremony for the night.

Fall Decor

When it comes to Fall Wedding Decorations, the key is absolutely matching warm color tones and natural elements. In fact, you should go for a branch arch with an abundance of seasonal flowers and foliage, foliage, foliage in every nook and cranny for your civil or religious rite and opt for a rustic-chic style table-setting for your dinner following the Italian Tradition with wooden tables and wine barrels.

Cream or Not cream?

There are so many seasonal Fall wedding flavors for your Wedding Cake, you just think of all the in-season fruits and apple dessert recipes you can include. By the way, if you’re a classic dessert person who prefers a cream cake, you could opt for a natural naked cake dressed with fresh fall blooms and local fruits giving it that autumnal touch you want.

Embrace the Backdrop for Your Photos

One of the biggest perks of getting married during the Fall Season is taking advantage of the scenic backdrop that your venue provides, especially for your Wedding Photos. Greenery and natural lights will give you a stunning collection of pics.

Sparkle everywhere

Lighting will play an essential role in the setting of your Fall Wedding Ceremony, then use countless strands of fairy lights and lanterns throughout your ceremony in order to warm up the venue and make your guests live a magical experience…. and the light of a dusk on our Coast will bring an extra touch!

S&S: the golden years!

a 50th Wedding Anniversary
planned by Wedding Amalfi

A lifetime love-story between a world-famous Italian Ship Commander and his wife!

When a couple reaches such a milestone, it’s customary to renew love promises with a religious ceremony,
just like the time the very first ‘Yes, I do’ was pronounced.

From South Africa, S&S came back to Italy to celebrate one of the most important moments of their life!

 

Their love story began more than 50 years ago.
Sandra and Salvatore were just two teenagers who lived a few meters away in a neighborhood of Southern Italy;
She was the most beautiful girl Salvatore had ever seen and he was the most lively guy she had ever known.
How not to fall madly in love?

Since their first meeting, they have spent their lives together among sea, projects, dreams, ships and family.
Salvatore step from the Navy to become president of MSC Cruises in South Africa traveling all over the World and
reaching the most important life goals with Sandra by his side. Nowadays, Salvatore is best-known as the Captain of
Shosholoza, the Italian man who challenged the America’s Cup letting people remember the last name Sarno.

On the occasion of their 50th Wedding Anniversary, the boundless love for the sea and their roots
brought them back to their hometown in the Church of Saints Simon and Judas Thaddeus
to celebrate their love again and again.

After an intimate religious ceremony, the couple held a total golden party in Capo d’Orso inviting
their guests to a Michelin-starred dinner in the prestigious restaurant Il Faro di Capo D’Orso.

The most special event for the most special people in the flawless setting of the Amalfi Coast planned with ‘all the love in the World’!

Thanks a million to the Sarno Family for choosing my team and I for the third time as the planners of their events.
