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.

A&A’s Destination Wedding: the most colorful way to tie the knot!
the first Haldi Ceremony planned by Wedding Amalfi
Anuj and Abhi, definitely wanted to celebrate their Wedding in the gorgeous setting of the Amalfi Coast
in full respect of the traditions of their culture of origin.
Not everyone knows, Indian weddings are rich in special and meaningful pre-wedding rituals
and the ‘Haldi ceremony’ is one of the most important of all and marks the beginning of the entire wedding celebration.
As the tradition goes, the Haldi ceremony is being held at the Bride’s, but in this case an exception was made.
A&A chose to celebrate their first wedding ritual on a terrace overlooking the crystal-clear waters of the Amalfi Coast.
Surrounded by nature and wrapped in the warm rays of the sun, the duo enjoyed the ceremony to the fullest!
During the Haldi, a rich golden paste made with turmeric, where the ritual gets its name from, was applied onto
the Bride and Groom’s skin before a symbolic bath with a dip in a luxury swimming pool.
Turmeric is considered a natural antiseptic and has the function of ‘protecting’ the marriage.
From decorations to clothes, everything was colored with a yellow color palette as a sign of luck, purity and good health.
After the ritual, the betrothed, had fun with their closest friends and family.
It was just a great intro to the wedding weekend celebrations they had on the Amalfi Coast.
Their ceremony was the most vibrant celebration of Love, a fusion of traditions and Italian beauty.
Such an honor to have been part of!
