Let's dive into some cheesy history! 🧀🍯🍇
Pecorino cheese has a rich history, starting as a Roman favorite. In 1884, a ban on salting cheeses and high salt taxes moved production to Sardinia, where it flourished until after WWII.
Post-war, many Sardinians moved to Tuscany, bringing their sheep and cheese-making skills. Today, Tuscany is known for producing some of the best pecorino cheese in Italy. 🤩
Pecorino is a star in many Tuscan dishes and a fantastic appetizer at weddings, delicious with honey, jam, fruit, and nuts. 🍯🥜🍇
Have you thought about cheese at your wedding?

Please don’t worry about the weather 🌧️☀️🌈
Weather is something we cannot control, we can predict but sometimes even that is wrong so I always say please don’t worry about the weather, the main goal can still be achieved come rain or shine! 💍✨
On this beautiful wedding day a gift came directly from the sky… 🌈🌈🌈
Rain threatened with clouds all day but we resisted having the ceremony inside which would have spoilt the atmosphere.
We held on and we were blessed with a sunny ceremony and an incredible all round rainbow 🌈 just as the newly weds walked into the reception room full of cheering guests!
How magical and a lasting memory for all 🥰

GROOMS FAVOURITE - CARS!😅
If you have moaned at your husband-to-be for not getting involved in the planning of your wedding, this will definitely be the time that he will prove you wrong. 🤞🏻
Bear in mind that the bridal car will appear in many of your photos, so an old banger won’t do! 🫣
However, you do not need to hire a Lamborghini or a Ferrari to have a stylish entrance. A modern Mercedes or Alfa Romeo would just do the trick! 🛞
If you want to go for a truly Italian touch then better to go for an Alfa Romeo or even a Lancia – a totally unknown Italian car manufacturer in the UK, but extremely popular in Italy.
Your fiancé will probably be thrilled to have discovered something new in terms of cars! 😉
Modern cars such as Merc, Alfa Romeo, and Lancia will be easier to source and prices will be more reasonable than say vintage cars which are rather expensive in Italy. 🤑
So you have no excuses for not making a real entrance on your very special day! 🤩

EVERYBODY LOVES CAKE🍰
Cake comes at the very end like a special VIP guest that has to make an important entrance in the scene of your wedding.
In Tuscany the queen of wedding cake is called Millefoglie.
This consists of layers of puff pastry filled with fresh vanilla cream (or chocolate) covered with either cream or caster sugar or cocoa powder...
The variation are endless..
the end result is an exquisite,
luscious mouthful of pure heaven.
What kind of cake will you have?
Have you picked your flavour/s? 🤭

Let’s talk romance 😉
Romance:
~ A noun; a feeling of excitement and mystery associated with love.
~ The purpose of romance is to enhance feelings of joy, passion and to show that special person how much you love them.
~ A gesture of romance is gift giving, maybe this is something you could incorporate into your own wedding, maybe it’s something your partner can wear on the day or a performance during the reception.
Just remember your day is all about you and the person you love, everyone you’ve invited has come to witness the strong love you both share.
How beautifully captured is the love between these couples, in this reel! 🥹

Inviting Loved Ones to Your Destination Wedding: Tips and Considerations! 🎉💕
Planning a destination wedding brings its own set of joys and challenges, especially when it comes to inviting your loved ones to share in your special day. Here are some tips to ensure a smooth and heartfelt invitation process:
🥂 Prioritize Your Guest List
With a destination wedding, you may need to be more selective with your guest list due to logistical constraints and budget considerations. Start by making a list of your must-have guests, such as immediate family and closest friends, and work your way down from there. While it can be tough to leave some people off the list, remember that this day is about celebrating YOUR love with those who matter most to YOU.
🥂 Coordinate with Key Attendees
Before finalising your wedding date and venue, ensure that your maid of honour, witnesses, and best man can make it on that particular date. Their presence is essential, and you'll want to make sure they can be there to support you on your big day.
🥂 Accommodation Options for All Budgets
Choose accommodation options that cater to a range of budgets, ensuring that all your guests can find suitable lodging within their financial means. Providing recommendations for nearby hotels, resorts, and rental properties will help your guests find comfortable accommodations that fit their budgetary constraints.
🥂 Navigating Family Dynamics
Family dynamics can be delicate, especially when it comes to wedding invitations. While you may feel obligated to invite distant relatives or acquaintances, a destination wedding allows for a natural selection process, as not everyone may be able to travel. Be mindful of family balances and considerate of any potential sensitivities when finalising your guest list.
🥂 Remember, It's Your Day
Ultimately, remember that your wedding day is about celebrating your love and commitment to each other. While it's essential to consider the needs and desires o
The bride and her maids 👰🏻♀️👯♀️👯👯
Whether you choose to have 8 maids, 2 or 1 having that special friend beside you on your big day is amazing.
From calming your nerves, to fetching your glass of fizz to helping you lift your dress while you do the toilet (yes we we did go there) but what are maids for?!? 👯♀️🤣😜
Having special people at your side cheering you on, who has probably seen you through all stages of life and relationships… there is no better calling.
Now tell me how many maids are you planning on celebrating your special day with?
And if you are already married, who was your wonderful Bridesmaids and Maid of Honour?
