Happy anniversary to one of the nicest couples!

The past year has flown by since my lovely bride and groom said 'I do' a year ago in front of their loved ones at their wedding in Tuscany! I  really miss not having the weekly contact with Cassandra and Sean, who are a truly delightful couple! Hopefully they will come visit me again soon! 

Happy anniversary Cassandra and Sean! 

Lots of love from all of us but especially from Penny x

A beautiful and unforgettable wedding in Tuscany part 2

The groom and guests waited for the bride atop of a beautiful hill in the Chianti region, for a outdoor civil ceremony, through olive groves and a medieval church restored by my the brides grandparents. A thrilled dad accompanied his daughter through the wings of friends and family who clapped their hands while the musicians played a jazz aria.

Where is the best place to get married in Italy???

Siena

Today I spoke to a lovely couple on skype, they have visited Italy before for the wedding of a relative and feel that Italy is the perfect place for a wedding. The only question now is where? 

Venue of the month- April

This is a gem of a venue and perfect for  intimate celebrations. With jaw dropping views of the gulfs of Naples and Salerno. Relais Blu Belvedere is a charming 11 bedroom hotel, located in the village of Termini, in the Massa Lubrense area, right in the heart of the Marine Reserve of Punta Campanella.

Candles make everyone look absolutely fabulous!

COURTESY OF PRESTON BAILEY 

One of our lovely bride has asked for an alternative to flowers and instantly candles came to mind.  

Aside from the fact that they make everyone look absolutely fabulous, they add an immediate air of romance to any space.  Available in every color and shade, heavily scented or just a whisper of fragrance, candlelight can evoke an unlimited amount of emotion.

GREEN FALSE WRAP PRINTED SILK JERSEY MAXI DRESS

by ISSA

€840.95

Wedding invitations are sliding through the letter boxes, now the wedding guests start to ponder on that very important dilemma.... What does a wedding guest wear to a wedding in Italy?

1920's

An age of decadence, grand baubles, sumptuous fur stoles, feminine frocks in vintage creams and neutrals, retro waves, and delicate lace kid gloves. Fascinating time, the Great Gatsby era, and quite the style inspiration!

Spring blooms

The wonderful thing about a Spring wedding is the choice of delicate, fragrant and colourful blooms! 

From the vibrant yellows to the soft lilacs Spring offers many different possibilities for your wedding flowers. 

Something turquoise!

This May a very good friend of mine from Treviso is getting married. With just over a month until her wedding day the final touches are being decided... Some might just change the whole look of her wedding!

So this one is for you Deborah, be daring and add turquoise to your wedding!

Venue of the month- March

Masseria Torre Maizza in Savelletri, central Puglia, is a charming hotel in south Italy is set on a large estate overlooking the Adriatic sea. I would describe this venue as relaxed chic. A delightful location for a wedding in southern Italy!
