Pink dreamy wedding in Ravello

Holly is the author of the following dreamy wedding in Ravello

When I woke up on our wedding day I was filled with a wave of happiness and excitement. The man that I had been in love with for almost 10 years, was on that day, officially going to become my husband.

How the beauty of Ravello cherishes feelings

I spent a moment by myself, capturing my own thoughts and gazing out over the glistening Amalfi Coastline reflecting on how truly lucky and grateful I felt. The morning ran smoothly, and I felt relaxed drinking champagne and eating Italian pastries whilst getting my hair and makeup prepped with my bridesmaids. Different family members arrived during the morning and the opportunity arose to have fun and meaningful photographs taken with the backdrop of the dramatic views.

The preparation for a dreamy and timeless wedding in Ravello

The atmosphere in the suite was full of laughter and joy and I attribute this to the skill of Emiliano, our fabulous photographer who knew exactly how to put everyone at ease and how to interact with all of my friends and family.

My favorite photograph from the morning of the wedding is captured when my Father popped the cork of a champagne bottle. The room came alive as the cork smashed into the ceiling and champagne was poured into our glasses. This is a memory I will always treasure, as one of the last moments I spent with my Father alone before being married, doing what we do best, drinking champagne.

The arrival at Palazzo Confalone in Ravello

It was finally time to enter the gardens of Palazzo Confalone and my heart stopped when I saw the setting for the first time.

The floral arrangement hanging from the pergola was a perfect frame to the vastness of the sea. It was set as a fairytale. I could not contain how delighted I was, and I felt like I was beaming with happiness like sparks of fire were flying out of me.

During the ceremony, I felt like the whole world melted away. As our celebrant spoke our chosen words to us, all I could think to do was gaze into my soon-to-be husband’s eyes. Our celebrant followed our personal promises and vows with the following words:

‘May you love deeply, laugh heartily, practice patience, and smile often. 

May you dream together, grow together and experience all life’s wonders together.

May you give, give in, and trust enough to take. 

May you see many sunrises, listen to the rain, savor special moments and rediscover each other over and over. 

May you have health, wisdom, serenity, and joy, a home that is a haven, a family bound by togetherness, and a lifetime rich in excitement and contentment.’
