Rice, rice, baby
At the end of the ceremony, flower or rice is thrown at the couple to symbolise a shower of prosperity and fortune. All guests will be provided with cones full of flower leaves and confetti to throw on us... have fun!
Food, glorious food!
Italian weddings are big on food. Please come hungry and expect several courses. Buon appetito!
Molto vino!
No Italian wedding is complete without traditional local wines. This region is well known for its range and quality of wines, which will be served throughout the appertif and dinner. Cheers!
Bouquet toss
Both Italy and England share the same tradition. So, good luck to all the single ladies and looking forward to know who will be the next victim!
Bomboniere
At the end of the wedding day, just before you leave, we'll give you a small gift which is traditional in italy, called Bomboniere. Please don't forget to take it.
The Garter Toss
The garter toss represents the male counterpart to the bouquet toss: the groom removes the garter from the bride, and then throws it to the celibate guests. Who will be the next?
