Alessandra 01/10/2024 0
As the wedding season approaches, more and more brides and grooms-to-be are surely wondering what they’re supposed to do about their wedding ceremony. There’s always so much to think about when planning a wedding day, but sadly this emergency means changing your plans.
Regardless the date on the calendar or if the wedding ceremony will be held in your country or abroad, at this moment in time the only thing recommended is the postponement of wedding celebrations till further notice. Here, what you need to know if you’re planning to say “Yes,I do” in the coming months.
In your country or abroad? Need to re-plan or postpone?
If you’ve planned your wedding in your country, it will be much easier to re-plan your ceremony. Whether your wedding is a destination one, you should consider postponing the whole ceremony until the country of destination will have opened its borders again. Don’t be dramatic, postponing it’s better than cancelling!
Speak with your Wedding Planner
If you’ve already signed contracts with wedding vendors such as photographer or florist, first people to contact are them. Hence, you should talk with your Wedding Planner and try to understand what could be done to keep your wedding ceremony ‘safe’. For example, you should check your venue availability on a new date option and choose a plan B for every detail planned. Probably, you’ll have to tie-the-knot during the winter season, but don’t worry…your Planner will give you even a plan C if needed!
Your guests come first
First of all, inform all your guests of the postponement of your wedding and check when they could be available as soon as possible. In order to avoid annoying questions from your guests and family members, reassure them about your wedding ceremony and keep them in the loop about any changes. Moreover, if you’ve asked your guests to travel for your destination wedding, it’s important to have different travel options for both you and your guests in the coming months, flights have been cancelled and hotels have been closed.
Think about a new date
If you want your nearest-and-dearest to attend your wedding day, you just have to think about a new date on the calendar rescheduling it from six months to one year. It’s not a tragedy, you can postpone now and keep on planning your ceremony until your new date!
Rethink the details
If you’re going to change the date, likely in a new season, your wedding details should embrace the seasonality of your ceremony, from flowers to the food and you will have plenty of time to think again about your wedding details.
Celebrate your day by the way
Now it may sound like a nightmare, but when your wedding day finally comes this unpleasant moment will be just a far memory and you will be sharing your best day with all the people you love most!
We’re in this together,

In every corner of the World, Easter has its ancient traditions and rituals and on Amalfi Coast the tradition becomes an explosion of flavors, scents and conviviality to live in the warmth of your own home. Here, in Italy, Easter festivities are preceded by a long Lenten season, a time of renunciation and prayer… and Easter becomes a symbol of liberation to be celebrated. The best way to celebrate is gathering together at the table and discovering the culinary tradition of our Coast rich in ancient dishes and treats. Ready to find out more about the culinary tradition of our Coast?
First of all, the most wished dish of all is the ‘Tortano’, a savory bread typical throughout the Region and handed down by tradition. It’s a sort of a plum cake and is covered with salted bacon, filled with pepper, local cured meats, cheese and eggs – the mixture of cured meat and cheese varies from recipe to recipe – it must be eaten really hot to enjoy its flavor to the fullest. In line with the Easter coastal tradition, the second main dish is doubtless the roasted lamb, also said ‘O Beneritto – translated as ‘The Blessed’ – so called for the bay leaves added during its preparation and for its religious connection. After all, lambs and goats, were brought as gift by the settlers to owners on the occasion of Easter Holidays and this ritual turned this dish into a timeless culinary tradition during the Easter holidays to local families.
Every dish served on the tables of our Coast is always accompanied by delicious wines that this land boasts. In fact, between terraces and pergolas, are being produced some of the most world-renowned wines of the Divine and not only, such as the white wine ‘Ginestra’, a typical grape variety of the areas of Amalfi, Maiori, Minori, Scala and Ravello named after the characteristic scent of broom; the ‘Ripolo’, a white wine farmed solely in this area; moreover the historical vineyard ‘Piedirosso’, named after the red of the stems of the grapes, which recall the legs of pigeons and finally the Tintore, a red wine typical of the hills of Tramonti. Just some of the broad variety of wines of the Divine to taste! When it comes to sweet, in a real easter lunch cannot miss the famous ‘Pastiera’, a typical cheesecake, rich in ingredients, but with a delicate taste. In ancient times, housewives made it in great quantities during the days before Easter, this tradition has been left unchanged over time. In fact, the preparation of the ‘Pastiera’ begins during the days before Easter even nowadays, the flavor of candied fruit, wheat berries and citrus is a real treat for the palate. And as all around the World, here too there is the tradition of chocolate eggs: an exchange of gifts, surprises for kids and a symbol of rebirth that is about to arrive!

Top-tips for Your Destination Wedding as a Trip experience
Enchanting sceneries, luxury private villas, breathtaking views, romantic boat cruises… just a little of the Amalfi Coast’s charm that has captivated engaged couples to tie-the-knot even a thousand miles away from home.
Are you thinking of taking off and getting married in Italy? Are you looking for the right tips? Well, don’t panic! Here are my 7 #destinationlove top-tips:
1. Pick your venue
Suggestive terraces overlooking the sea or private villas: where you will say ‘ Yes, I do ’ is clearly the key of a destination wedding – not just a location, but the place where you and your guests will feel at home – which means that you might think about some entertainment activities they could do on their own for the day before and the day after around the Amalfi Coast too! So hilarious! Enjoy!
2. Save the date
Doubtless, another key thing is to set the date. Planning a destination wedding on the Amalfi Coast takes the right timing! In Italy, generally, people tend to get married during peak season – from May to September – hence, considering the favorable weather conditions, you should set the date and book your dream venue as soon as possible in order to have a better chance to find it available. On the flip side, if you’re going for a destination elopement, the off season is the best – from October to March – for a more intimate ceremony to enjoy to the fullest the unique atmosphere of the Amalfi Coast.
3. Give your guests a Heads-up
One of the main destination wedding tips is: send out the save-the-date-cards well in advance – 10 or 8 months before – Your dearest will be thrilled to share your special day with you, basically, you are giving them the opportunity to ‘switch off’ and take a holiday, but don’t forget that there are a lot of logistics details to arrange. Be sure to give your guests all necessary information in time.
4. The more the merrier or not?
This one can be tricky! It’s totally on you and on how long or short you want your guest list to be. Keep in mind that a destination wedding is a trip experience. Then, I suggest you surround yourselves with your nearest & dearest!
5. Have a pre-wedding trip
Planning a wedding in Italy when you’re far-far away can be a tough issue. Once on board, I’ll make sure to guarantee you a memorable Italian wedding experience! Anyway, after having preliminary meetings, I could not recommend you enough to take the opportunity to land in Italy and meet in person. Moreover, you can have a look-see at the venue, have a rehearsal dinner and plan a trial with a local hairdressing and make-up artist for the bride – they tend to be full.
6. Kind of ceremony
What kind of ceremony would you like? A traditional religious ceremony, a civil outdoor rite or a fascinating symbolic ceremony… Regardless of your choice, you need to start the procedure to get the necessary documentation, naturally with my support.
7. Have fun & Not-Planning
Tying the knot out-of-country can be really complicated and it’s easy to freak out when start the planning process. By the way, take time just for the two of you and don’t stress you out anymore! All you have to do is relying on your professional planner and having the most stress-free experience ever.
Think outside the box! I’ll be your toolbox to make your #destinationlove as flawless as it can be from the get-to… your call!
