A wedding flat lay is the perfect way to showcase those lovely little touches that might not always get the spotlight, like your invitations, sentimental pieces or even your wedding rings. It’s also a wonderful way to start your wedding album, setting the tone and telling your story right from the first page.

💡 A little tip from us... We recommend selecting your pieces the night before and keeping them in a separate area, so your photography team can work on them without interrupting you!

Why we love Hotel Santa Caterina, Amalfi as a wedding venue...

💫 breathtaking coastline views
💫 six stories of cliffside Italian-authentic architecture
💫 in-house Michelin starred restaurant
💫 it’s Amalfi Coast elegance through and through

Nestled in one of the Amalfi Coast’s most stunning locations, this luxury hotel is a true hidden gem. The sun-soaked, secluded seaside retreat and beach club provide an idyllic setting for a dream destination wedding. Guests can enjoy the breathtaking coastal views, crystal-clear waters and the radiant Mediterranean sun. The hotel offers panoramic terraces, a beach area, and lush gardens with abundant lemon groves, providing fabulous photo opportunities. It has a very laid-back luxe vibe, so is ideal for couples looking for something less formal.

In our weddings, we're seeing brides mixing it up with mismatched bridesmaids' dresses, creating truly unique ensembles featuring gorgeous gowns with different styles, fabrics, hemlines, and colours.

But if it's not carefully coordinated, you can end up with a disjointed-looking bridal party rather than a cohesive, complementary one. You could opt for the same dress in different colours, or the same colour in different styles.

For a really stunning look, incorporate both different designs and colours into your bridal party ensemble. Just make sure you have the time to see all of the dresses together beforehand.

The beauty of having various bridesmaid dresses is that everyone can feel beautiful and confident in their own look while still fitting into your desired vision and colour scheme. Everyone wins!

Although we love designing with vibrant colours, there is always something so elegant and timeless about white wedding flowers! 🤍 White symbolises purity, innocence, and new beginnings.

For Nicolette & Michael's wedding, we elevated the white flowers with textures from grasses and amaranthus, playing with shape and form.

Villa del Balbianello is grand, idyllic, and picturesque. It is one of the most scenic wedding venues in Lake Como, with the gardens offering beautiful views of the lake. Situated on its own peninsula, it feels very private.

The gorgeous villa is known to host elite weddings and has been the backdrop for fashion shows, James Bond and Star Wars movies.

For an extra touch of magic, guests arrive by boat. 🛥✨

Bold colours at a wedding 💚🩷💜💛💙

In a world of classic white weddings, dare to be the rainbow.

Timeless and ever-elegant, white weddings will always hold their charm, and their popularity shows no signs of waning. Yet, as wedding planners, we are witnessing a shift towards vibrant celebrations, with 2024 being the defining year for this trend. Whether you choose to embrace this movement boldly or opt for a more understated approach, there are countless ways to infuse colour into your special day. Pairing a single bold colour with a neutral background can elevate your wedding's elegance while making a statement.

🌟 It’s a leap year…and that means….

➡️ according to Irish tradition inspired by the tale of St Bridget and St Patrick, today is the day that every four years ladies propose to their gentlemen!

Historically St Bridget complained to St Patrick in the 5th century that women had to wait too long to marry because men were too slow to propose.

It once had legal basis in Scotland and England too.

🌟 The custom was reported to allow women to initiate dances and propose marriage. There are also traditions for if the proposal was refused, namely that the man would have to give recompense to the woman. This could come in different forms, though typically the man was expected to buy the woman gloves, a silk gown or, by the mid-20th century, a fur coat…

➡️ What are your thoughts? Ladies have you proposed or would you propose? In a much more open and inclusive society, should we be looking to adapt our rhetoric more?

Your comments please, we’d love to hear them or tell us about your own proposal ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Always travel in style in Lake Como! Our gorgeous C&G stealing some moments together with a little boat trip out after their ceremony before joining guests at their aperitifs

TOP TIP:
Try and steal time together wherever you can on the day, to enjoy the moment and take it all in because it passes by very fast!

Ways to do this:
🌟 Organise a ‘first look’ together before your ceremony. This isn’t for everyone but there are so many pluses. Enjoy this intimate moment and have ample time for your couples portraits so you don’t feel rushed, and this way you won’t too much time away from your guests later on.
🌟Head out for a little time together at the start or end of your cocktail hour, not too long so as not to miss this time with your guests this leads onto…
🌟 Maximising the time during which guests are moving (eg. Being seated for dinner) to hang back and catch a moment together
🌟 Ask your planner how best to maximise your timings! Your timeline is absolutely key; especially if you’re working to venue imposed restrictions. We can’t hurry or jostle your guests too much, but we’ll always try our absolute best to make things efficient and smooth!

➡️ Today is National Drink Wine Day 🍷
As if we needed any excuses!!

Wine is celebrated as much as food in Italy, and the perfect accompaniment to dinner. We make sure to try wines on your behalf and generally know what we’re talking about!

It’s not commonplace to have an open bar during dinner in Italy (it’s a little bit sacrilegious!) and most of our clients are happy to go with the ‘Italian way’ and enjoy wine that only serves to highlight the sumptuous flavours during dinner service- and honestly in the many hundreds of weddings we’ve done guests don’t tend to miss spirits too much.

Of course we have some weddings who know their guests will want beers or spirits so we make sure to have an Open Bar available during dinner but it’s an added cost and inevitably slows down your dinner service…

A few useful tips:
🍷 Choose local wines for a lower cost option; even the most accomplished wine lovers won’t be disappointed with a well chosen local option

🍷 Calculate an average of 1/2 bottle of wine pp during dinner service, and a little extra just in case if you know your guests love it

🍷You’ll get 5/6 glasses of Prosecco or sparkling wine per bottle

🍷Despite clients’ worrying, of course we’ve never had a caterer or venue run out of wine! Even if you have an unlimited wine ‘package’ for dinner

🍷To save on costs you can have guests toast with their wine during dinner for speeches; unless you want to have Prosecco served especially

🍷 Having red and white available is most common, also depending on your menu and wedding location (a hearty Tuscan red can’t be missed along with a bistecca Fiorentina!). A crisp rosé is popular for sun soaked farewell parties by the pool, boat trips and sundown aperitifs before dinner

Hit us with any wine Q’s or ideas!!

Tara & Eric bringing the 🔥🔥🔥

Swipe ➡️ for even more sexy!

Tara has gone down in the history of our brides for having the sexiest dance moves everrr (pretty sure Eric still hasn’t recovered) and Pony by Ginuwine can never be the same for us ever again; in the best way possible.
We still attempt to recreate the 🔥 when it comes on!

Top tips for a great party and a full dance floor:

🌟Adding some live elements is fun; we always love a good sax or an electric violin to add to the DJ!
🌟 Have a hand in your playlist so that it reflects you as a couple and the vibes you love, and then let your DJ do their thing
🌟Get your set up right; ideally the bar isn’t miles and miles away from the dance floor, and there is some lounge furniture close by so you can rest your tired dancing feet but keep vibing ready for the next dance session
🌟Ask you guests so submit their fave song to get them on the dance floor when they RSVP
🌟Brides (and Grooms if you like!) maybe have a dress change part way through the night and get some more comfortable heels or cute trainers so you can bust the moves in comfort!
🌟 JUST ENJOY!

🌟’T’ is for TRENDS🌟

➡️ SWIPE TO SEE & SAVE OUR ‘INS’ and ‘OUTS’

In all honesty we kind of dislike the word trend; it implies something fleeting and without originality or authenticity, things which are important to us. In the world we live in, they now come and go faster than ever.

That said, from a business perspective we are conscious of them and look at them from an analysis perspective; we prefer to be trend setting rather than trend following!

So here are our 2024 predictions of what’s IN.

PLEASE be aware that there is authenticity and originality are ALWAYS IN, regardless of any trends!

A few others we wanted to mention:
🎀 BOWS: they’re here to stay, sorry not sorry. They’ll be bigger, more statement, textured and everywhere. Like it or not, they’re here to stay.
👸🏼 SELF CARE & SKIN CARE: the precursor to feeling the best version of yourself on your wedding day; taking care of yourself mentally and physically, finding a skincare routine that works for you.

➡️ PICTURED HERE: Mackenzie & Jason’s statement ceremony installation, with fabulous colour blocking - a perfect example of number two in our list. You’ll be seeing a lot more colour blocking which we are so HERE FOR!! Making a statement and maximising spend in one area makes for a wow moment that you’ll love, and an epic backdrop!

🌟’S’ is for sunset 🌟

The best light of the day, those precious golden moments before the sun slowly drops away. The warm light bathes everything it touches, creating a softness that isn’t there during the day.

We have chosen to mention sunset because it’s important to schedule time in the best light of the day for portrait photos; even if you pop out in between courses during your dinner service.

Your planner should check the time/location of sunset and collaborate with your photo team to build this into your timeline; and your photographer will make the best they can of the time available as it’s not always easy to build it in with so many other things going on at this point of the day.

➡️ Team work makes the dream work 💫

LOVE this capture at the iconic infinity pool - you can start the see the soft peach light reflect over the mountains 🤍

🌟HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!🌟

2023 you’ve been a wild ride; you’ve taken us to places we never expected and to heights we couldn’t have dreamed of (or that we are allowed to share publicly 🤣).

We’ve met incredible people and never lost sigh of the ADVENTURE that this wonderful life beholds 🤍

Thankful for 2023, and soooo excited for what fun 2024 will bring! Thinking as always of those less fortunate and grateful for everything.

We’ll get to running through our 2023 archive but for now enjoy Ally & Tommy’s champagne tower because let’s be honest, this trend is going nowhere in 2024 and we’re here for it!

Our 2023 in numbers:

🌟13 weddings created
🌟2 continents spanned
🌟1 proposal planned (with a yes!)
🌟1 50th birthday milestone celebrated
🌟Countless amazing vendors and couples
🌟An even more amazing team
🌟Memories and gratitude to last a lifetime

➡️’I’ is for well….’I’, YOURSELF, YOU!🌟

Of course we could have done ITALY and we can regale the wonderful things about our country of choice until the cows come home (the food, the wine, the views, history, architecture, just everything!) but that was almost too obvious…because we know you know, or you wouldn’t be here on this post!

For maximum enjoyment of the special day that you’ve been planning for months, it’s important to look after yourself both mentally and physically in the run up to the big day.

It’s easy to feel that crescendo of cortisol coursing through your veins, but this will result in you feeling tired and less able to step back and enjoy everything.

A few top tips:

➡️ GET A PLANNER! Seriously though, this will save you a lot of stress and heartache. Planning a destination wedding is difficult, it’s usually your first time planning a wedding too so you can’t be expected to know what works and what doesn’t, or what the pitfalls are or generally manage everything. You wouldn’t get a divorce without a lawyer, so don’t get married without a wedding planner 😜😜😜

➡️SELF-CARE. Set time aside to look after your skin, hair and physical body; whatever that means for you, and whatever makes you feel great so that you can feel the best version of yourself on the day. A simple walk and a solid hair and skin routine can do the world of good.

➡️WEDMIN TIME. The dreaded wedmin can feel like a lot; try to set aside dedicated time to do this, and make it fun with drinks and nibbles!

➡️BUDGET FOR DOWN TIME. With the pressures of work, wedmin and daily life adding up, make sure to set aside a little extra into your wedding budget for some dates, spa, days out or down time together to make sure that all your free time isn’t wedding or chasing your tail with work!

➡️MENTAL HEALTH. All of the above are geared to this; read, reenact and repeat.

You’ve got this 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

🌟’R’ is for rentals!🌟

We’re back with the 9 letters of Christmas!

‘Rentals’ refers to the furniture, mise en place and decor items that you hire in to bring your wedding design to life. There’s so much to write on this topic, so we’ve tried to cover some key points.

They can make or break your look; but can also be quite expensive so how can you strike a balance?

Our top tips:

🌟 WHAT IS INCLUDED? Your venue or caterer will usually include ‘standard’ items so if you don’t have a large budget for rentals, see how you can base your wedding design around the standard provided. Bring in some key essential items to personalise your design.
🌟CHAIRS, CHAIRS, CHAIRS! A good chair is important in terms of visual impact; they’re a ‘large’ item and therefore have a big impact on your overall look. If you’re a smaller wedding it might be possible to move your ceremony chairs to dinner, but more often than not this is not the case due to time/location/workforce so best to budget for two sets.
🌟WHAT ELSE IS IMPORTANT? After chairs, good linens and a nice charger plate are something we look to be ‘essential’ for a great design. Most venues/caterers include a white linen but this can often be too stark for the setting. Cutlery/glasses/flatware are easier to overlook and an area save on if needed- although we are partial to gorgeous glasses that reflect the candlelight!
🌟LOGISTICS- make sure your rentals budget also considers delivery to the venue, but also set up and take down! A lot of rental companies may delivery, but charge extra for set up.

🌟SAVE this post for the list of standard rental items below, to consider for an average production wedding;

🤍Ceremony chairs
🤍Lounge furniture & high tables for cocktail hour (plus linens)
🤍Glasses for cocktail hour & party
🤍Bar counter (and maybe back bar) for cocktail hour & party
🤍Dinner chairs (second set)
🤍Dinner table linens & Napkins
🤍Charger plate aka. underplate
🤍Cutlery (UK)/flatware (US)
🤍Glasses (water, wine x 2, flute)
🤍Serving plates
🤍Dance floor (often provided by your lighting/tech vendor)

🌟MERRY CHRISTMAS🌟

So sorry that the nine days of Christmas hasn’t continued as planned; with a mixture of illness, a new arrival and not having pre-scheduled my posts it looks like the nine days of Christmas will continue through to New Year 🤣

Not sure how we didn’t manage to get a full team photo this year (we’ll get better at this!) so recycling one from last season which is sadly missing our lovely who is enjoying Paris this Christmas.

Daisy became a first time Mum to Giulia just a few days ago, we’re delighted and both are doing amazingly back home in SA.

Sarah is drowning herself in cheese this Christmas and Elise is avoiding birds of all kinds, plated or live. She has a very acute phobia.

Catherine is nursing a very painful herniated disc and sciatica and has been heavily medicated for a few weeks; still sadly missing Lulu after she passed away from a liver tumour in November. She only arrived last Christmas as a Romanian rescue so went too soon - swipe right to see how happy she was to have her first Christmas as a loved family pet. Keep swiping to see the ball of mischief that has arrived in the last few days (also a Romanian rescue) and who is already causing havoc! 🐩

Anyway enough babbling, wishing you all a wonderful Christmas and thinking of those less fortunate at this time of year 🤍

Thank you for capturing us looking angelic in white; before things went largely downhill at our end of year party last year 😂

9 LETTERS OF CHRISTMAS….

H is for Hair & Make Up

Often an area that is left a little late or not deemed such a key investment but it’s one to get RIGHT! It impacts how you feel on the day so much; you want to feel your best self 🤍

Top tips HERE:

✨ TRIAL- get one! Whether it’s during your visit trip or a day or two before the wedding, a trial is the best way to understand what you do and don’t like. You may have a look that you love in mind, that doesn’t mean you’ll love it on yourself so it’s best to try it out!

✨COMMUNICATE- this one is SO important. Communicate with your stylist, if you’re not happy with something during the trial then let them know so that they can find a way to improve it so that you love your look. It’s totally normal not to be 100% convinced on something so be sure to mention it and don’t feel shy- your stylist will be pleased that you’ve let them know how you feel!

✨STYLE- not all HMUAs are made equal. Find one with a great reputation (they get booked up quickly so consider this early on) and whose portfolio you love, and you feel resonates with your preferred look. Some are more natural, or sometimes a little bolder; the right style team is really worth investing in, and you may be surprised at the costs of a good HMUA service (it’s worth it!). Do they use products and brands you love? Collect your photos beforehand (and your bridesmaids) so that you can give a clear vision to your stylist, then they can advise. DM us for some great recommendations.

✨PREP, PREP, PREP- healthy hair and skin are the best base for your look, and prep can start months before. Drink that water, eat a balanced diet with vitamins and nail a skincare routine that you love. Your stylist and planner will advise you on how your hair and skin should be on the day; usually washed the night before for hair up and no product - and no product on skin. But each stylist may have different requests.

✨TIMINGS- this is CRITICAL! We always create a timetable together with the stylists for the wedding day, that’s achievable and is stuck to. As a general rule, an hour for bridal hair, an hour for bridal make up and then 30-45 minutes for hair or make up for the bridesmaids/mothers of the bride depending on the stylist. Allow your team 20-30 minutes to get set up too, and a 15-20 minute window at the end of the timeline for any touch ups if there are a few of you. Make sure that you as the bride have optimal timings within the timeline (not too early or late) and give yourself an hour between finishing hair and make up and needing to be ready, so you don’t feel rushed.

🌟✨THE 9 LETTERS OF CHRISTMAS….

‘C’ IS FOR COLOUR PALETTES ✨🌟
As voted by you! We could write about this topic FOREVER but here are our top five tips; it’s easy to have a colour you love but how do you build the palette?!

A few images from a gorgeous elopement back in 2021 whose palette we loved; soft shades of peach and blush, with depth from burgundy and interest from gold and dusty blue in details and accents.

➡️ SWIPE RIGHT & SAVE the colour wheel

1️⃣ HOW MANY- ideally 3-5 colours. Too many can feel confused instead of cohesive, and too few can lack depth. 1-2 colours can act as main focal hues, and 1-3 colours can act as tones to add strength and depth. See our next tip for accents!

2️⃣ CHOOSE AN ACCENT- adding an ‘accent’ to finish off your palette is always a good idea; this can be a material or texture as opposed to a colour specifically- gold, silver, glass, pearls, wood, stone etc.

3️⃣ OPPOSITES ATTRACT- without getting too much into colour theory (we could write a whole book honestly!) it’s good to remember that opposites on the colour wheel look great together and are the perfect step towards identifying a unique look with a wow factor. Check our stories for some colour wheel options- we love a split complimentary! BUT don’t get too hung up on the technical aspects, go with your gut and what feels good to look at for you.

4️⃣ ‘TIS THE SEASON- yes it actually is, but you can also consider the time of year that you’re getting married, as this may affect your chosen palette/feel. This is an easy way to build your palette around your favourite colour! Think about the venue too- is it lush and green, by the sea or an architectural marvel? You can use the location and surroundings to choose an authentic, representative palette.

5️⃣ WHITE & GREEN- so you love the white and green aesthetic? It’s timeless, elegant BUT it can look like every other photo you see on Pinterest… so add tone depth (taupes, neutrals, greys, creams, sages, emerald) and texture via accents, details, stationery, linens (embossed stationery, silk ribbons, textured candlesticks, neutral patterned linens.)

✨The most beautiful Amalfi Coast invitation suite we ever did see✨

By for last year’s wedding - we’ll try and dig out the envelope liner from our archives too as it was also stunning!

‘La Rondinaia’ means ‘Swallow’s Nest’ so we chose to weave beautiful swallows throughout the suite, and celebrate the Villa’s iconic architecture too.

The symbolism of the swallow is that of freedom, faith, love and prosperity 🤍

Love that shot this gorgeous suite in a few different ways, and the artistry by uniquely for K&D’s wedding is unforgettable✨💪🏽
