Well, I’ll show you a selection of the three most ancient and impressive Churches of the Amalfi Coast if you’d love to celebrate your religious rite in one of the most romantic wedding destinations of the world.
The Cathedral of Ravello
The Cathedral of Ravello is one of the most ancient Catholic Church of our Coast, built in 1086, takes the main square of the town overlooking the entire cliff. Since that time, it has undergone various makeovers, in the 12th and 17th centuries, and again totally restored in 1973. By the way, the interior preserves its authentic ancient charm with a wide central nave and two aisles artistically decorated with valuable gold mosaics. Moreover, the ancient columns, the marbles, the century bronze door, treasures from Roman times and paintings by southern Renaissance artists are surely worth a look. And…if you’re planning an elegant and romantic wedding this Church with its incomparable beauty will provide the perfect setting creating a mesmerizing effect all around you!
The Amalfi Cathedral
Also known as the historical Duomo of St. Andrews, is doubtless one of the most impressive Church of Italy. The Duomo rises in the main square of Amalfi, at the end of an imposing staircase composed of sixty-two steps leading to the doors. Also this one has been renewed several times adding romanesque, byzantine, gothic, and baroque elements. It’s structure includes four small towers adorned with arches and covered with majolica tiles. An extraordinary place to keep your wedding vows forever just in the heart of the Amalfi Coast!
The Church of Santa Maria Maddalena in Atrani
The Collegiate was built in 1274 on the ruins of a medieval fortress on the initiative of the inhabitants of Atrani to thank the Saint, who released them from a handful of sailors. Nowadays, the Church has definite architectural characteristics, such as the dome of majolica and an elegant bell-tower of the 16th century. It’s the best site for an afternoon wedding, on the ringing of the church bells there will be a wonderful sunset waiting for you and your guests!
To sum up, these are just some of the wonders of this corner of land, several other exist. No country in the world can compete with the choice of venues that Italy boasts for a religious ceremony. Thus, I’ll stand by you, in every step, towards the choice of your #destinationlove. You just have to say “Yes, I do!”.

How to seat your guests at your Wedding Reception: here come my tips!
Deciding on the seating arrangements for your guests can be one of the trickiest tasks in wedding planning. Yes, I fully understand it! Usually, invitees like to know where they’re sitting and with whom and if you’re having a considerable number of guests, a hundred or more, you’ll want to make sure everyone sits at the right table.
There are many couples who start their seating arrangements just some days before their ceremony, but I’m sure you will have more important things to think about at such times. Since you have enough time to think about one of the last tasks on your wedding-to-do-list ….Here come my tips on how to arrange the wedding seats!
Table shapes come first
Before you start your seating arrangements, you should have already pick the shape of your tables. The size and the shape of your tables will tell you more about the number of invitees who can be seated at each one. Traditionally, round tables tend to be the most preferred ones… but lately even the imperial tables are in vogue allowing a greater number of seats due to their capacity.
Bear your venue in mind
When it comes to setting tables and guests up, the second most important point is definitely your venue! Older guests, for example, may prefer to be seated a little further from the band or out loud music. On the flip side, your friends may prefer to be given the best seats in the room to join the dance floor with you!
Mix & Match your guests
Once you’re sure about who’s coming to your ceremony, mix and match your invitees according to their relationships and interests creating true and proper small groups of people, such as: family members, old friends, work colleagues, distant relatives and so on. This will help you to make every guest feel comfortable with other invitees during the wedding ceremony having a pleasant chat or why not meeting new people.
Where and with Whom?
Classically, the newlyweds seat at their ‘special table’ in the middle of the room – where everyone can see them – and depending on how large the table is…the Groom and the Bride could sit with the maid of honor and the best man. Regarding the parents of the couple, they often take sit opposite each other at large family tables, with grandparents or close family friends. Considering another option, you could also arrange them at the same rectangular table if it is long enough!
Keep your friends close
Your friends should take a seat at the third-best tables in the entire room. You should bear in mind: the first is the newlyweds’ table, the second is parents’ table and the third nearest table is reserved to your coolest friends!
Don’t forget the kids
If you’re inviting several kids to your ceremony, you should seat them together at the ‘kids’ table’. Do not forget give them some activities in order to keep the kids busy during the lunch or dinner – their parents will appreciate it! On the other hand, if your flower girls and the ring boy are the only kids invited, let them simply seat with their parents.
Wedding tableau & place cards
As soon as you’ve figured out where to seat everyone, you need to decide how to lead them to their seats. Usually, places are displayed by table in a Wedding Tableau placed near the entrance of the reception, listing your guests’ names with their assigned tables. In addition, if you want you can place cards at each table to give clear seats or leave your invitees free to choose how to seat by themselves.
I’m here for these and many other tips on how to plan your #destinationlove together.
Let 2021 be the happy one!

M&S: when love grows like a seed!
A Wedding in the name of Nature planned by Wedding Amalfi
M&S are two extra-ordinary human beings who live in total respect for nature and in a very deep mutual love.
Like many couples, S&M, want their Wedding Day to be unforgettable: from the ‘Yes, I will’ to the ‘Yes, I do’ I was by their side.
Here, I’ll tell you some details about their life and story… they’re Salvatore and Michela!
Salvatore is a landowner and Michela works as a nutritionist using natural products to give wellness to her patients. Their love is so real and strong
They respect and support each other in their work and personal adventures
and truly wanted to share the rest of their lives together.
Where to set up the flawless Marriage Proposal? Definitely on the Amalfi Coast!
On the occasion of the marriage proposal, with my complicity, Salvatore planned a great surprise for his beloved Michela tooking part in a photoshoot in Positano made by the well-known photographer Gianni Di Natale. After the shooting, Salvatore booked a room and arranged a dinner on a private terrace to make that day by far the most romantic one.
At the end of the dinner, the waiter brought a cake with two flutes of champagne: in Michela’s one there was the ring! And then what? On September 18, they chose Saint Peter Church in Cetara and Giardini del Fuenti to celebrate their Love.
Nothing was left to chance, every single choice made by the couple during the planning process of their Wedding Day had its symbolic meaning: the Church honors Saint Peter, a great worker and wise man, just like Salvatore is!
In his company, La Palma, Salvatore helps people who arrive in Italy looking for a better life, donating lands and teaching them to cultivate and produce high quality products. The products are sold throughout Italy under an important Italian brand, Conad, with particular names: the tomato is called ‘R Accolto’, in Italian stands for the fusion between the words collected and welcomed. Moreover, the fishing village of Cetara for its history and tradition strongly linked to his work ideology and Giardini del Fuenti, the perfect venue where beauty and nature coexist, exactly like they wanted.
The key elements were generosity, prosperity, roots and nature!
This was the reason why their cards were printed on paper containing seeds. Their guests received the cards with steps to plant those seeds that will tell the story of their love again and again. Every single detail of M&S’ Wedding speaks the language of nature and love: from the original tableau de mariage to the monogram on their wedding table made of asparagus, fennel, wheat, broccoli and olive tomatoes kept together by the initials of the newlyweds names.
A Wedding I will remember forever!
