For the majority of Future Brides, looking for the flawless bridal dress is the most dreamed moment of the whole wedding planning. As is usual, countless brides-to-be dream about their bridal dress for a very long time!
If you’ve planned to get married during the next season and you’re literally dying to try your dress on, browsing magazines and websites looking for your own style, I’m gonna give you my top-tips to jump into your search really ready for!

Research, research, research
Ball gown, a-line or mermaid?! First and foremost, you should have thought about what kind of dress you want, browse magazines and websites, set your Pinterest board up in order to collect your ideas and show it once in the showroom. The more details, the better!
Schedule different appointments
Once you have a clear idea of what you want, it’s time to schedule appointments! In case, you have specific designers or stylist in mind, find out which showrooms have their bridal collections. The day you first try on a bridal dress, it has to be a stressless one…Doubtless, the best day to try your potential bridal dress is Saturday. Go for it!
Less is more
Just like in the movies, the Bride tends to bring her team of maids or family members. Wait! Less is more when it comes to the most important choice of your life. I suggest to invite your dearest just to your last fitting and surprise them revealing your choice!
Don’t’ forget your Venue
Where and when are you getting married? Your Venue is the key thing and it will be helpful in your search. If you will be having an open-air ceremony on the beach or in a garden, you should avoid ball gowns with long trains…they would be ruined after your first steps. If you’re exchanging your vows in an elegant Cathedral, you should avoid short or backless dresses.
Try on everything
Even if you already have your style set, make sure you give other styles a go at your first appointment. You may be surprised by what you find!
Wear a light makeup
You’re going to try on expensive wedding dresses in ivory, white, champagne… Wear a minimal makeup in order to have a natural and candid look…just as you will be on that special day!
Say your YES out loud
Don’t be surprised if you find your dress at the first stroke! Trying on hundreds of dresses will not make your choice easier, usually it just complicates things. Hence, if you find the bridal dress you love the most, go with it and say your YES out loud!
Have fun
The choice of your bridal dress will be one of the best moment of your life. You’ll surely be the center of attention because you’re…the bride-to-be. Have fun!
For this and for many other important moments… I’ll stand by you for your #destinationlove
Let 2021 be the happy one!

Meaningful Wedding Rituals for your Ceremony
Most of Wedding Ceremonies are rooted in tradition and involve a series of steps or practices that have been taken for centuries. If you’re looking for some religious, cultural or spiritual practices in order to personalize and make your Wedding Ceremony even more poignant, here you will find the most popular Wedding ceremony rituals which you and your Groom-to-be could incorporate into your Special Day!

Jumping the broom
The jumping of the broom tradition dates back to the early 19th century and has its origins in Western African Weddings. The tradition wants the couple to lay a broom on the ground and jump over it together. Nowadays, this practice represents a ‘brushing away’ of the past in order to start a new life together.
Light a unity candle
This Judeo-Christian tradition is one of the most well-known Wedding rituals and represents the unity of two people and their families too. Both the Bride and Groom hold a lit candle and combine their flames to light a third one that remains unlit throughout the ceremony. Only when the couple
exchanged their vows, they can light the pillar candle using their flames to symbolize the union of their love and their commitment.
Sand ceremony
For this popular practice, the couple pours two separate vases of sand, usually in different colors, into a larger vessel to symbolize their ‘coming together’ as a married couple forever. This practice is particularly meaningful if you’re gonna to tie the knot on a beach or want to use sand from meaningful locations.

Cord of three strands
This religious Wedding ceremony ritual, also known as God’s knot, symbolizes the joining of one man, one woman and God into a marriage relationship with a purple string, a white and a gold. The cord of three strands ceremony could be a great addition to your big day, a truly unique element that friends and family will remember forever.
Have a handfasting
The handfasting ceremony tradition is an ancient medieval Celtic Wedding ritual, this practice involves binding the couple’s opposite hands together with a ribbon or a cord to symbolize their eternal union. You could even use colored ribbons, such as white for purity or red for passion!
Foot washing ceremony ritual
Foot washing is a Christian Wedding ceremony ritual inspired by some Bible verses in which Jesus washes his disciples’ feet. It is usually done to symbolize the couple’s service, humility and commitment to each other for the rest of their lives.

Breaking the glass
The breaking of the glass is one of the most beloved traditions of a Jewish Wedding ceremony. During the ceremony, the Groom smashes a wrapped piece of glass with his foot followed by applause from the guests. Tradition says that the couple will remain married for as long as the glass is shattered!
Planting a tree
If your Ceremony will take place outdoors, you could consider this ritual! It has no official religious or cultural ties, but taking care of a tree symbolizes growth and love. During the Wedding ceremony, the Bride and the Groom will take turns adding soil from two separate containers and water to the seedling, representing two individuals coming together as one.
Whatever style of Wedding Ceremony you and your Groom-to-be will have, there is a unity ritual which can fit with your venue and your mood. It’s up to you to choose the right one for your #destinationlove

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.
