Savoring Campania: A Culinary Journey through Italy’s Flavorful Heart

2021 Wedding – How to Plan an Amalfi Coast Elopement

If you are planning a romantic escape for your Wedding Day, the perfect location for your elopement wedding is undoubtedly the enchanting Amalfi Coast. And if the pandemic period altered your wedding plans, an intimate elopement is the best choice!

The Amalfi Coast is one the most popular destinations of the Italian seaside, located in the south of Naples between mountains and the blue sea, and gathers pastel-colored villages perched on the cliff overlooking the sea, Ravello, Sorrento, Atrani, the maritime town of Amalfi, Minori and Maiori, not to mention the gorgeous islands… just some of the flawless frames for your Special Day. The narrow streets, the mediternnean sea, the vibrant sun, the scents, the culinary tradition and local customs will definitely steal your heart!

And what about if you don’t live in Italy? Yes, I know! It could be difficult to figure out how to plan your
elopement wedding on the Amalfi Coast. Here, come my tips!

HIRE A PLANNER

First things first, an elopement wedding represents just a fraction of what a big wedding costs, so hiring a professional wedding planner can still be an affordable option for you. Don’t think twice, you’re gonna need it!

CHOOSE YOUR LOCATION CAREFULLY

Can you imagine your elopement day? The location where you will exchange your vows should be reflective of your love, your kind of relationship and how you would love to spend your special day: in a luxurious ancient villa, in a lush garden, on a sea-view terrace, on a private beach or on a boat! From there, I will help you find the perfect place to elope, a place where you can feel connected with the beauty of our Coast and love!

HIRE AN OFFICIANT & MAKE IT LEGAL

It’s very important to look into the legal laws of the country where you’re planning to elope in order to know in time when you need to register, what papers and requirements you need to have. For this reason, being able to rely on a professional figure will be crucial to make your elopement wedding legal to all effects.

INVEST IN YOUR VENDORS

The florist, the make-up artist, the hair-stylist, the photographer or videomaker, the caterer must be absolutely reliable and professional people and who know the area to perfection. A wedding planner like me will find the right contacts for you and manage the planning process with the vendors without any concerns for you and your groom-to-be.

INVITE YOUR FRIENDS VIRTUALLY

For an intimate ceremony the right choice is to live your elopement just for yourselves or to share this romantic moment just with your parents. And your friends? They can attend the ceremony virtually!

ENJOY YOUR HONEYMOON

On the Amalfi Coast you will not only live the most important day of your life, but also an unforgettable honeymoon. I can plan for you the second part of your elopement as well, book your stay in the best hotels in the area or arrange tours and excursions just for you. What more could you ask for?

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!

The beauty of our enchanting Coast will be the best scenario for your #destinationlove even during the Fall Season.

Make your Fall Wedding come true!
