PHOTOGRAPHY AND VIDEO
Italy is one of the main wedding destinations. Its undeniably fascinating landscapes, the lights, the colours, frame a special moments in your life which require complete attention and the best documentation. Thus the role of the photographer and the video operator is one of the most crucial!
Style A Wedding works with the best Italian photographers specializing in wedding photography.
An expert photographer knows about light and knows how to capture the individual characteristics of every place exalting its beauty; moreover all those moments and details, which for the emotion of the day could get lost, are captured with elegance and spontaneity.
The Reportage style is the most appreciated at the moment, capturing naturally and with discretion the emotions and the most important moments of your event with few posed photos and much spontaneity; reportage is a tale of your wedding or special event, through pictures which recount every moment, from the preparations to the wedding cake and the dancing, capturing smiles, tears, hugs, real and moving reactions.
In addition to the reportage of the wedding day you can also include the engagement and why not, unconventional fun moments before the wedding like a game of golf or wine tasting in a historical winery for the groom and groomsmen, or a fun bridal shower, a yoga session or a shopping expedition for the bride and her bridesmaids. Style A Wedding will be beside you suggesting numerous solutions to get to the wedding amused and relaxed; moments that can be fixed and relived through the masterly and discreet shots of the professional photographer.
Style A Wedding will deal with coordinating the photographers and the video operators so that every dear and important moment for you about this event is caught.
With the video of the wedding you can enrich the important emotions of the reportage of the day, not only the static pictures but entire moments to relive whenever you want; the delicacy of your mother’s movements while she arranges your veil, your father who holds out his arm for you, the glance of the man you love waiting anxiously at the altar who lights up when his eyes meets yours, the tear which overflows with emotion running down your face, intense instants that best tell the most important story, that of your wedding.
food & catering
That’s Italy! Where food is tradition, culture, history and passion. Good cuisine comes from good products: fish from our seas, fruit and vegetables and dairy products from our land, extra virgin olive oil DOP, citrus fruits, wine of the highest quality. Ours is a land rich in flavours and good smells which give added value to any wedding and event in Italy
Style A Wedding constantly looking at the details can do nothing other than promote chefs and catering capable of suggesting menus personalized at the request of the client but at the same time careful to respect the area and its traditions. Every wedding reception must be personalized carefully, choosing the right catering and the perfect menu. The key words for a successful reception are seasonality and typicality.
The tendency recently is a more dynamic wedding reception, which consists of different moments and no longer hours seated at a table. A rich buffet of appetizers and finger food is preferred. Rather than only one table there are little corners of themed foods like cheeses and cold cuts, fried fish and fried foods and lots of small, delicate tasters of traditional recipes reinvented with style. We advise organizing these buffets in large spaces where the guests can move freely with enough time to taste the food in complete calm enjoying the splendid frame that you have chosen for your reception. We suggest comfortable lounge areas and small tables for the guests and waiters who serve from trays to support the buffet.
The pasta course and main course however can be served at table, in the reception room or under the stars if you have opted for an elegant outside dinner; usually Italian tradition requires a sorbet which refreshes and cleanses the palate between the first and second course. The number of courses served at the table will be decided on the basis of your preferences; today no more than two/three courses are preferred with great attention to the quality and the taste of each dish and an eye on the harmony of shape and colour.
The wedding cake is often accompanied by a buffet of sweet finger food, mini fancy cakes and single portions are appreciated to allow every palate to be satisfied and more things can be tasted. The traditional Italian wedding cake is one tier only, with fruit and Italian custard; however the more expert confectioners are able to satisfy every request and can create wedding cakes in the American style of more tiers.
Wine is an important aspect of every Italian wedding and event and usually the best local wines are suggested to be matched with the dishes on the menu, of course keeping into account specific requests and tastes.
A special menu is always provided for children, but also for people with allergies, coeliac disease, vegetarians, vegans, etc… Style A Wedding will help you to manage this important aspect so as to offer all of your guests a classy reception in every detail. The final number of guests and special requests must be communicated generally within two weeks of the wedding.
Professionalism, personalization, attention and sensitivity are the basic ingredients for a successful event reception.
music & entertainment
For your event day, just as in a film, the soundtrack is certainly an essential aspect. Music helps to create the right atmosphere and underlines your emotions.
On your wedding, if you have decided for a Catholic rite the pieces must necessarily be liturgical and respect its sacredness. If you have chosen a civil or symbolic ceremony you will obviously have a greater freedom of choice in the pieces and the style. Whatever type of ceremony you would like we suggest a pleasant piece of background music while the guests wait for the bride’s arrival. During the aperitifs pleasant but discreet entertaining music like jazz is advised; for the wedding reception the ideal music is very soft in the background so as not to disturb conversation; for the cutting of the cake and of course for the first dance we suggest that you choose your song; the part of the evening dedicated to dancing and to the evening party must be aimed at fun but we suggest you take into account that your guests probably belong to different age groups, therefore it is better to include a wide variety of music to involve everyone.
We suggest you emphasize every moment of the reception with music of different kinds, alternating recorded music with live music suitable to the situation. The type of music can be chosen according to your taste, from classical music to jazz, rock, ethnic, traditional Italian or international. We will propose the top professionals in the sector. Live bands, DJs and classical musicians with great professionalism and experience who will know how to create the perfect soundtrack for your event.
To be noted that many venues have restrictions on music. In some cases there are time limits when music is allowed until midnight, but other venues have permission in particular conditions to allow music until the early hours. There are venues where only certain types of music are allowed, like historical palaces with stuccowork and frescoes which would be damaged by too strong vibrations; background music or classical music is preferred there. On the base of the event reception you want and the type of music you prefer we can guide you in the choice of the most suitable location. It must be remembered that in Italy there is a tax to be paid on musical entertainment; the amount of this tax (SIAE) depends on the venue, the number of guests and the kind of music played.
Would you like to add something even more unique to your event? We can secure very special services such as firework displays, acrobats and artists of all kinds, magicians, caricaturist, traditional dancers… and much more to entertain your guests and live up your event!
hair & beauty
On her wedding day or any special event a woman must be beautiful.
Try to sleep well and enough and stay as happy and as calm as possible…Good professional make-up helps but the light on your face must come from inside. So to be at your best on such a special day we can then suggest the top professionals in the beauty sector. We can suggest also specialized salons but the best choice is to trust professional hair stylists and make up artists who will come to your accommodation or at the venue you have chosen for.
Do not underestimate the importance of your make up. The bride’s make-up is absolutely the most difficult to realize because it must make her beautiful but also stand up to kisses, hugs and emotions; it must be natural and sophisticated to the eye but give the maximum in a photograph.
Of course it is advisable to have at least one trial before the day of the wedding with the hair stylist and make-up artist, to share your wishes and find the best solution to enhance your beauty. If you do not live in Italy and it isn’t possible to meet hair stylists and make-up artists before the wedding we advise you to send your ideas, a photo of your face and dress by email. A professional hair style and make-up will still be carried out studying your face and personality.
Our collaborators will be able to advise you on the best way to enhance your strong points. The only thing left to do will be to shine on your wedding day!
We will help you to best plan the time to dedicate to this important aspect so as to be peaceful for the day’s schedule. Moreover the tradition is for the mother of the bride and the bridesmaids to get ready together with the bride; for this exciting time we suggest a big room to accommodate the preparations and why not, tea time with cakes and pastries to relieve the tension of the moment.
rentals
We can advise on the best providers to hire any type of equipment or means of transport that you will need for your event in Italy. We can procure every type of luxury or vintage transport, carriages with horses or boats according to the location and the style you want for your event, but as usual offering a high class, professional service. You can hire an elegant car with a chauffeur for the day of the wedding or a sports car to drive during your stay in Italy along fascinating itineraries in which landscapes, art and food and wine are absolute protagonists.
And if you have fallen madly in love with a venue with lovely outdoors but without a plan B in case of bad weather, we will suggest the most experienced marquee suppliers to create a spectacular greenhouse and enjoy the surrounding beauty in any case.
