If your big day was postponed due to the global pandemic, you already know there’s a lot to think about! In addition to reviewing your plans, choosing a new date, reviewing your decorations and updating the whole guest list, you also have to think about what you’ll do with your Bridal Dress. For many brides, the search for ‘the one’ can be a long and heartfelt process which involves months of appointments and hours of search. After all, it will be the dress in which you are supposed to spend one of the most incredible days of your life. Therefore, you need to make sure your Bridal Dress stays in the best condition for as long as possible… I’ll give you some tips about what you should do with the dress you spent months searching for!
Store your Bridal Dress in a cool & dark place
In order to protect your Bridal Dress from light, which can easily fade your dress color, store it in a cool and dark place. But, wherever you’ll store your Bridal Dress, you should avoid storing it in a zip-up bag, the cloth needs ‘to breathe’. Then, you should go for a professional wedding preservation box, or better yet, a wedding chest.
Avoid Damp Places
Don’t store your gown in an attic, a garage or a basement as the temperatures and humidity in these areas of your home can be extreme and damage your Bridal Dress.
To hang or not to hang?
When you’re going to hang your Bridal Dress, you first need to take its weight into consideration. If your dress is a few light layers, satin or silk, hanging it will be the best way to store your Bridal Dress. On the contrary, if you have a heavy Bridal Dress with lots of layers or a wide gown, you will need to dedicate a whole room in your home to store your Bridal Dress, laying it flat on top of a bed in order to save its shape.
Handle it with care
If your Bridal Dress has special embroidery or bead decorations sewn on its gown, you should always use white cotton gloves when you’re handling it if you don’t want to damage it!
Keep the Dust & Stains away
Remember! On a white Bridal Dress, even a tiny speck of dust or stains will show up. Make sure there’s nothing that might touch your Bridal Dress once you stored it, you don’t want to stain it!
Remember to inspect your Bridal Dress
Regardless of the place and the method, I recommend weekly inspections if you want to make sure nothing happened to your Bridal Dress.
Leave a Bridal Note
Furthermore, I suggest leaving a note on the door or on the box, reminding people that there’s a Bridal Dress right there!
Don’t forget your Veil
Last but not least, you should properly hang your veil as well, so make sure to have a veil storage clip on hand! No matter what you’re looking for, I’m always here to give you all the tips you need about your #destinationlove

Positano
Since the beginning of the 20th century Positano has been the favourite place of many famous people from all over the world, especially artists. All guidebooks will offer you the long list of famous writers, musicians, dancers, painters, sculptors, photographers and actors who have lived or spent their holidays here, being inspired by the magic of the spots. Nowadays not only businessmen, politicians and TV stars but also a lot of common people are guests of the town all year long.
The small streets and the flights of steps that characterise Positano offer a wide variety of small shops, typical workshops, ateliers, and cafes. That’s why shopping or just strolling and wandering around are the first thing that all tourists do in Positano. The place is popular for the production of clothes, lemon liqueurs and sweets, handmade shoes, and many other specialities that you will discover here.
Positano has an ancient history as part of the medieval Republic of Amalfi, but there are very few founds from that period. The most part of the monuments date back to the 18th century. The church of Santa Maria Assunta, near the beach, has a fine majolica dome and a couple of notable old paintings. Palazzo Murat is now a luxurious hotel, but it often hosts public cultural events, so it is quite easy to visit its interiors. Classic music, literature and ballet are also at home in Positano.

How to virtually plan your Wedding Day!
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!

How to fly you to Amalfi Coast? Inspiration, inspiration, inspiration!
It’s a pity not to have the pleasure to enjoy the amazing glimpses of our italian Coast, this summer season! Why not fly with the mind towards one of the most popular & romantic destination settings? Here, some tips that will make you breathe the Italian atmosphere of the Amalfi Coast…
Citrus in every nook & cranny
Citrus will definitely evoke the feeling of Italian coastal tradition. After all, this region is well-known for its fresh and colorful citrus, symbol of the entire Coast, especially lemons. These natural elements could be the best chic decoration giving your Wedding Day an authentic Italian touch!
Never forget old-timey things
The Italian tradition, particularly in southern Italy, is rich in tradition and old-timey decorations, hence, you should be sure to incorporate that ancient feeling with every element of your table-setting. Golden candle holders, silver serving tray, porcelain dishes, antique cutlery and crystal glasses will help you to create the flawless Italian setting you want.
Steal the landscape
Amalfi Coast boasts some of the most breathtaking panoramas & landscapes in the World…terraces overlooking the blue sea, ancient villas, exclusive hotels, charming gardens, private beaches! Why not take advantage of its natural beauty? You will steal the landscape and the landscape will steal the show!
Opt for greenery
Same old floral decorations are totally out! Surrounded by the natural setting of our Coast, you should go for a rustic style: lots of foliage, delicate white flowers and a touch of natural yellow… The perfect match for an Italian-inspired arrangement!
Plenty of traditional food
You’re in Italy, the best cuisine in the World is here! Play with the local traditional food creating a sort of delicious street-market where your guests will find the most tasty traditional food.
Theme-based stationery & favors
Last but not least, you should convey your Italian theme throughout your Wedding Day incorporating greenery, florals and citrus details into your stationery to highlight your Italian-inspired ceremony. Stay within the Italian theme also for your wedding favors: a mini bottle filled with limoncello or local wine is the perfect touch for your guests to never forget your special Wedding Day!
