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

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

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.

The magic of the sea from an ancient tower planned by Wedding Amalfi

Paola and Carmine, a young Italian couple, fell in love when they were just two kids
and since then they’ve always lived their lives together.

Carmine is a passionate, creative and brilliant young man who is dedicated to photography and fashion.
A strong passion that he turned into a real job.

Paola is a sophisticated, calm, accurate woman.
A woman who truly loves details and precision.
Not without reason, numbers are an important part of her work.

Travel, hobbies, sports, adventures, art, cooking, wine: that’s all Paola and Carmine share!
Their relationship is a kind of symbiosis mixed with osmosis made of four arms and two hearts that beat as one.

After meeting them and knowing their story, I thought a lot about what their Special Day should be like…
…and I imagined it on the sea!
The perfect venue for their Wedding?
An ancient Saracen Tower, ‘Torre Crestarella’ in Vietri sul Mare.

Their marriage and union symbolized beauty, nature, history, tradition and love.
Everything was flawless!
