Italian edible wedding favors

Offer your guests a "piece of Italy", to taste immediatly or to take home as a souvenir.
Italy food and drinks are excellent and an original wedding gift can be a typical product of the location where are you going to get married or a gift from the italian tradition.
Here they are some ideas from our past Weddings:
 
THE CLASSIC EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL, producted in different italian regions: Apulia, Tuscany, Liguria...You can offer your guests a small nice bottle of organic olive oil or an aromatic oil with truffle or pepper.
 
 
 
 
If you are going to get married on the Amalfi Coast , I'm sure you will love the nice bottles of the local LIMONCELLO, in different sizes and shapes or in  small hand-painted earthenware jars.
 
 
 
Another nice and lovely wedding favor is the BALSAMIC VINEGAR from Modena or Emilia Romagna. They  are  in different sizes and shapes.


If you chose a Vineyard in Chianti or on the Barolo countryside you can offer your guests a bottle of good italian red wine. I'm sure they will appreciate the gift!
 
 
 
And why not offer guests a touch of sweetness and goodness with jars of organic JAM  or HONEY ?
 
 

If you like to follow the italian tradition , offering your guest 5 sugar almonds "confetti", there are different "bomboniera" style packages like an organza bag or a nice paper box. You can even offer a  tasting box with sugar almonds of different flavors or a lovely sugar almonds flower.

A beautiful day on the Lake

 
 
We know, it's a while that we didn't post on the blog! The wedding season began and we had not time to write few words! But today we would like to share this beautiful wedding on Lake Maggiore.
A catholic ceremony in the Church of Stresa , followed by a welcome cocktail on the garden of a beautiful hotel on Lake Maggiore. You could not miss a boat ride on the lake with stop for pictures on Bella Island. The weather was perfect , warm sunny, but not so hot and the newlyweds cut the cake under a starry sky!
 
E' un po 'che non aggiorniamo il blog ! La stagione dei matrimoni รจ cominciata e non  abbiamo avuto il tempo di scrivere poche parole! Ma oggi ci facciamo perdonare e vogliamo condividere con voi questo  matrimonio sul Lago Maggiore.
Una cerimonia cattolica nella Chiesa di Stresa, seguita da un aperitivo nel giardino di un bellissimo hotel sul Lago Maggiore. Non poteva mancare un giro in barca sul lago con sosta per le foto sull' Isola Bella. Il tempo era perfetto, soleggiato e temperato, ma non eccessivamente caldo e gli sposi  hanno tagliato la torta sotto un cielo stellato!
