Un mariage à Syracuse en Sicile
Gennaio 3, 2022

Un mariage à Syracuse en Sicile - Photos : Anne Letournel Photography - Blog mariage : La mariée aux pieds nus

L’amour est patient. Juliane et Vincenzo ont dû revoir, reporter, et réorganiser les détails de leur mariage à Syracuse en Sicile plusieurs fois à cause de la pandémie. Mais ces déconvenues leur auront permis une chose, se concentrer sur l’essentiel, et finalement le plus important, se dire oui, entourés de leurs proches, en vrai ou à distance. Ils partagent avec nous leur histoire, immortalisée par Anne Letournel Photography.LA RENCONTRE

« Notre rencontre a eu lieu en 2013 dans un avion en partance pour Sao Paulo, au Brésil. Par chance ou juste le destin, nous avons eu la même destination et avons effectué un stage dans le même CHU. Des années difficiles ont suivi, Je (Juli) suis Allemande et Vincenzo est Italien et bien que l’Italie et l’Allemagne nous semblaient très proches après notre retour du Brésil, Vincenzo a été obligé d’effectuer des missions de sauvetage de réfugiés en Méditerranée avec la Marine italienne pendant 6 ans. Nous nous voyions très rarement, mais avions toujours rêvé d’une vie ensemble. En 2018, après que Vincenzo ait passé son certificat d’allemand, il y a eu une demande en mariage assez surprenante à New York. Nous ne savions pas encore quand et où nous vivrions ensemble, mais la première pierre de notre avenir ensemble était posée. »

« Il était immédiatement clair que nous voulions nous marier dans la ville natale de Vincenzo, Syracuse, en Sicile. Nous avions imaginé une grande fête avec tous nos proches – afin de saisir l’opportunité de rassembler nos deux familles après tant d’années de relation à distance. Et par là même, permettre à nos proches venus de loin de profiter de la douceur méditerranéenne.

Immédiatement, nous avons choisi pour la réception le magnifique Castello Pupillo avec son arbre et son jardin particuliers et sa cour élégante. L’église devait être une petite église ouverte dans la vieille ville. Pour la restauration, nous voulions une vraie cuisine maison sicilienne et savions que nous n’aurions cela que chez Rizzo Catering. Le reste des prestataires est arrivé petit à petit : de la musique brésilienne pour le dîner, notre talentueux photographe et assez spontanément nous avons décidé d’engager un vidéaste. C’était une belle tâche commune que nous maîtrisons en couple. Malheureusement, la pandémie a jeté un stop dans l’organisation, de sorte que nous avons dû reporter la fête trois fois, changer notre église, revoir l’organisation du dîner qu’il ne pouvait plus avoir lieu autour d’une table et malheureusement la famille de Juli du Brésil ne pouvait participer qu’à distance par vidéo. Mais nous avons toujours su : l’amour est patient. Et en fin de compte, ce sont ces nombreux changements, espoirs et rêves qui ont rendu notre journée si unique. »

« Notre mariage n’a pas duré qu’un jour, mais a duré presque une semaine entière, car la plupart des gens avaient parcouru un long chemin pour célébrer avec nous. Et nous avons apprécié ce moment au maximum avec tous nos amis et notre famille. De l’anniversaire de Juli la veille du mariage, à l’after party sur la plage le jour suivant le mariage et la petite virée d’après avec les invités qui ont pu rester. Nous avons vraiment pris le temps de profiter.

Dans le sud de l’Italie, où les mariages et les prestataires de services ont des structures bien définies, nous avons essayé de donner à notre célébration une touche personnelle et de sortir de la routine classique.

Tout d’abord la découverte a eu lieu avant la cérémonie de mariage, nous avons donc eu un moment intime rien que pour nous. Un moment inoubliable dans les ruelles de Ortigia. La cérémonie fut chargée d’émotion et que dire du lieu si magnifique.

Pour le dîner, il n’y avait pas de plan de table, mais cela consistait en une cuisine ouverte avec des places libres. La musique était brésilienne comme nos origines et nos amis ont animé la soirée avec des jeux typiquement dans la tradition allemande. Notre DJ – une connaissance de la famille a spontanément fait la musique pour nous et a fait danser les invités jusqu’à la dernière seconde.

En fin de compte, il s’agissait d’une chose : passer beaucoup de temps avec nos invités, s’amuser et célébrer notre amour. »

« Après deux ans de planification, de report, de reprogrammation, nous étions déjà habitués à ce que les choses arrivent comme elles viennent et cela nous a procuré une paix intérieure incroyable. Et c’est aussi notre conseil le plus important : le jour du mariage, il s’agit de profiter. Oubliez les listes de tâches et les horaires. Pour les amis et la famille, ce sera toujours une célébration parfaite lorsqu’ils verront que le couple est heureux.

Un moment inoubliable: pendant la soirée nous sommes juste allés dans le jardin en couple et avons eu cinq minutes rien que pour nous deux. Nous conseillons à chaque couple de s’accorder un très court moment de retrouvailles en ce jour spécial et de revoir les événements ensemble. »

Maria and Sebastian's Soft and Romantic Wedding in Sicily

Happy Friday everyone, I hope you are all well and happy and have had a productive week? Are you feeling festive yet? Have you got your tree up? Normally by now we would have our decorations up, but this year because of the building work on the house we have had to wait a couple more weeks. I am hoping we can get the decorations up next weekend, inside and out. This weekend we are hopefully going ice-skating (weather permitting) and also buying a few more decorations from our favourite Christmas decoration shop. On Sunday we are doing Christmas at Chatsworth, which will be very festive, I can’t wait! On with today’s wedding and it’s the turn of Maria and Sebastian who held their romantic wedding in Sicily, with the most gorgeous flowers and soft, elegant decoration. Big thanks to Simona Parisi of Brilliant Wedding for the lovely submission.

JUST PERFECT, PURE MAGIC.

Maria and Sebastian's Soft and Romantic Wedding in Sicily

Maria and Sebastian were married on 4th September 2020, with the reception at Baglio Aversa in Sicily. ‘We loved the The immense magical atmosphere in nature, the essence of the tradition emanating from the environments and objects, the possibility of having a cozy and intimate space, the helpfulness and kindness of the owner Giovanni. We had 110 guests and it took one year to plan.’

Special moments
The moment you zip your dress and you think ‘ok, that’s it’. When our eyes met at the end of the aisle, the descent of our entrance into the room with the joy and smiles of our friends and relatives, the fun and engaging dances.

Have fun and enjoy the process and every single moment

We Think You Should Elope At Sicily’s Mount Etna, Here’s Why…
Novembre 18, 2020
Blog Wedding

Wild & unkempt, Sicily’s Mount Etna is a rugged Italian wonderland perfect for the laid-back elopement.

Photographed by Deborah Lo Castro & designed by Simona Parisi, this Sicilian wedding inspiration shows why we think free-spirited brides & grooms looking to elope in Italy should set their sights on Sicily’s Mount Etna. Casual & rugged – with plenty of stunning villas and venues – the Mount Etna region provides a more laid back atmosphere than the more traditional, manicured wedding destinations of Tuscany and Northern Italy.

The talented wedding vendor team based in Italy captured that relaxed, Sicilian vibe so beautifully. With a bride in modern, easy bridalwear & her gorgeous natural curls, we can imagine ourselves gliding aside vineyards of Sicilian grapes as we say I do aside the rustic & breathtaking Villa di Bella.

UN MATRIMONIO GREEN AL PROFUMO DI ERBE AROMATICHE
Settembre 2, 2020
Blog Wedding

Quello di Davide e Alessandro doveva essere una celebrazione del loro amore, più che un classico matrimonio. Simona di Brilliant Wedding ha curato insieme a loro tutti i dettagli, tra sfumature di verde, legno ed erbe aromatiche, portando la natura all’interno della cornice industriale del Future Lab.

Dagli sposi… Il nostro non matrimonio è stata una vera e propria celebrazione dell’amore. Il nostro: sofferto, temuto, conquistato, coltivato giorno per giorno con non poche difficoltà, cadute e risalite. Quel giorno lo abbiamo sognato, immaginato e pianificato ma l’emozione più grande e inaspettata è stata arrivare uno dietro l’altro ai nostri celebranti accompagnati e protetti dalle nostre madri tra chi già ci conosceva e chi ancora non aveva vissuto a pieno il nostro sentimento. Condividere questo giorno con tutti loro e vedere nei loro occhi la gioia e la voglia di esserci, è sicuramente il ricordo più bello che abbiamo oggi. Love is Love.

Covid19 & weddings
Marzo 24, 2020
Blog Wedding

As a professional wedding and events planner based in Italy and working with many international clients we have been keeping a close eye on the story of Covid19.

Heres the current situation as we see it.

 

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/italy/

 

In essence, what should you do about your wedding in light of Coronavirus concerns?

Now that the virus is spreading rapidly through Italy and not limited to, you will want to take precautions to ensure the safety of yourselves and your guests.

This might include making the hard decision to postpone your wedding.

I think the risk for late spring and summer weddings should still be currently manageable as hopefully we should be returning to normal by then.

 

What about Destination Wedding in Italy?

The coronavirus pandemic has caused families all over the world to cancel or postpone life’s biggest moments.

The travel industry is being majorly impacted, with many flights getting grounded and canceled. This could prevent your out-of-town guests from attending your celebration.

Keep an eye on official sources to stay informed.

 

What happens if I need to reschedule or postpone my wedding?

Most venues and vendors are being flexible with couples by allowing them to postpone or reschedule without penalty. Under the circumstances, they want to do right by their couples and their businesses.

 

Final Note

Move Forward

As soon as possible, move with positivity towards your new wedding plan.

Your Plan B, with the help of your wedding planner and your partner, no matter when or how it takes place, will still be an unforgettable day.

 

Is Wedding planning stressing you out?

Let me help you, email me at  info@brilliantweddingsicily.it

 

Waiting for good times coming  I leave you with a beautiful gallery of my spouses.

Professione Wedding Planner: la mia storia
Ottobre 30, 2019
Blog Wedding

“Consiglio vivamente Simona come Wedding Planner, ha esaudito ogni nostra richiesta, rendendo il nostro giorno indimenticabile. É stata impeccabile in tutto, e soprattutto si è dimostrata da subito presente e ci ha saputo consigliare in tutto, facilitando i nostri dubbi. Che dire sei stata non solo la nostra WP ma un amica su cui puoi contare! Grazie ancora hai reso il nostro giorno una favola.”

Martina e Giuseppe

 

Professione wedding planner: dal sogno alla realtà

Queste parole le ha scritte Martina, una mia sposa di luglio e quando le ho lette mi sono letteralmente commossa ma non per le parole in se, ma perché apprezzare e ringraziare una persona che in quel giorno si divide in quattro mi fa capire che gli sforzi e i sacrifici, la cura di ogni dettaglio…é stato apprezzato dalla coppia, nulla é sprecato. E mi convinco sempre di più che lavorare sulla qualità mi rappresenta. Mi permette di curare personalmente ogni coppia come se fosse l’unica coppia di cui prendermi cura.

Questo piccolo intro mi serve per spiegarvi che fare la “wedding planner” non é un gioco e soprattutto non si diventa wedding planner dopo un corso di tre giorni.

Sposarsi in Sicilia a primavera
Marzo 7, 2019
Blog Wedding

English version below

Sposarsi in Sicilia: la Sicilia è una delle regioni più belle d’Italia per il suo fascino e per le sue tradizioni antiche che sono ancora oggi rispettate

 

Per i più tradizionalisti, di certo svolgere un matrimonio con la persona amata in Sicilia è l’ideale perché è una terra ancora oggi ricca di sapori, profumi e tradizioni.
Per chi ha la possibilità di sposarsi in questa meravigliosa terra, semplicemente perché ci vive o perché l’ha sempre desiderato la regione offre ai novelli sposi di scegliere differenti scenari che la natura offre tra mare, collina e luoghi di montagna, insomma ce n’è per tutti i gusti.
