You can’t beat the Italians for their effortless style – just look to the sultry sex appeal of Sophia Loren and the chic island of Capri off the Amalfi Coast – a mecca of glamour and sophistication. So if you’re looking for ideas to make your day truly unique then why not have some traditional Italian wedding customs at your ceremony?
Wedding breakfast...
The Italians are passionate about their food. Follow Jamie Oliver and serve an informal meal of cured meats, bresaola and grilled Mediterranean vegetables.
Drinks...
For upscale drinks, it has to be limoncello – the zesty lemon liqueur made in Capri. Serve it the way the Italians do – chilled as an after-dinner treat.
Or spoil your guests with lemon-based cocktails such as a citrus martini or long island iced tea.
Meet and greet...
Rather than a receiving line, Italian couples visit each table individually before slipping away on their honeymoon.
And for afters...
Dessert tables offer guests a medley of delicious sweet treats.
