A Summer Garden Wedding Infused With Spanish and Italian Notes at Capo Santa Fortunata
This wedding was designed to celebrate color in its purest essence. We wanted every detail to evoke hints of Spain while also honoring the region where the celebration took place: Campania, with all the vibrant energy of the Amalfi Coast. Set in a stunning garden overlooking the Gulf of Naples, the scene was nothing short of magical. As the sun set, Capri stole the show, reigning as the undisputed queen of the moment. The vibrant hues and carefully curated decor created a perfect blend of a summer garden infused with Spanish and Italian notes. It was a breathtaking symphony of color and freshness, a true feast for the senses.
Antonello and Simona: a love story straight out of a romantic movie! It all began by chance, during a casual aperitivo that, unbeknownst to them, would change their lives forever. The matchmaker? Simona’s dear friend, who had long been convinced that these two were meant to be. Determined to bring them together, she insisted until that fateful meeting finally happened. And she was right: it only took one glance for sparks to fly! Antonello, completely captivated by Simona’s beauty and charm, didn’t waste a moment. Head over heels in love, he soon decided to ask her to marry him. Simona, who had nearly given up on the idea of finding the love of her life, found herself swept off her feet and into Antonello’s arms. Since that day, they’ve been inseparable, writing one beautiful chapter after another in their very own fairy tale.
Simona’s wedding dress was the perfect blend of simplicity and elegance. She didn’t want anything overly flashy but dreamed of something that would make her feel like herself—confident, beautiful, and undeniably sexy. Her choice? A stunning gown from Le Spose, which captured her personality and style flawlessly, made her shine on her special day.
The elegance and sophistication of the Ferragamo tuxedo perfectly highlighted the groom’s quintessential Italian charm. He captivated everyone, exuding the charisma of a modern-day James Bond.
The wedding feast was expertly curated by the incredible Alba Catering, a renowned name on the Amalfi Coast that has been delighting guests at weddings for years. Known for their authentic flavors and sophisticated dishes, they can cater to any taste or request with unmatched class. As for the drinks, they were in the skilled hands of the bartenders from Tania Future Bar Catering, who ensured that no guest was ever without a refreshing cocktail, especially appreciated during the high July temperatures of the Amalfi Coast. Together, they created an unforgettable culinary and beverage experience!
The entire design—both floral and decor—was thoughtfully created by Ester Chianelli, founder, designer, and creative director of the Italian Wedding Agency by Ester Chianelli. Her original ideas perfectly combined lightness, vibrancy, and freshness, inspired by the lively and energetic personality of the couple, which set a playful yet elegant tone for the event. All the stunning floral arrangements were brought to life by La Magia dei Fiori, while the custom-made or specially procured decor pieces were handled by Effegi Eventi, a leader in the industry. Together, they brought the couple’s dream wedding to life with unmatched creativity and style.
In the church, the couple chose a traditional Catholic religious ceremony, accompanied by the most beautiful and moving classic pieces befitting such a celebration. The bride walked down the aisle to the timeless notes of Pachelbel’s Canon in D, bringing many of the guests to tears with the sheer emotion of the moment.
Entertainment was a key part of the organization, and the fantastic Blunotte Eventi Band truly delivered. They had the guests dancing from the aperitif through the dinner, with hardly a pause—just long enough to enjoy the delicious offerings from Alba Catering before jumping right back into the rhythm for some wild, non-stop dancing!
