Italy beat France in the final stretch of the 33rd International Gelato World Cup held in Rimini this past week. Held every 2 years, the 2010 winner was the French team making this year’s win even more heartfelt for the Italians!
The next edition in 2014 with be in the UK – get your spoons ready! (Photos courtesy of ENRICO MINASSO)
July’s couple of the month could be not other than Richard and Bethan, knottied in Venice.
We really can’t thank you enough for all you did for us to make our wedding day go so perfectly. Tammy was absolutely fantastic and was able to haggle us a great price for our wedding gondola ride. It was quite surreal walking over the Rialto bridge and having our photo taken by so many tourists! We lost count of the number of times people shouted ‘Auguri!!’ at us!
Thanks again and best wishes,
Richard and Bethan
I was frantically looking in the thesaurus for a word to describe these …. delightful (too weak) …. gorgeous (not enough) …. amazing (close, but no cigar) Italian Wedding Confetti.
Can you imagine someone – namely Francesca from Dolce Creazioni – hand-decorating each single petite candy-covered almond by hand? Outstanding (still not there …)
P.S. Special thanks to Atelier delle Amiche for posting about Francesca on twitter xxoo
P.S.S. I included a pic of bride and groom cookies because they were too cute :0)

The best part about planning weddings in Tuscany is seeing how talented people put together a bride’s colors, ideas, and style to create the most wonderful works of art for a magical ceremony and reception setting. And of all the details, the flowers are the most personal and the most awe-inspiring for family and friends who travel so far to be part of the unifying moment. There is nothing as memorable as the bride’s bouquet and there is no other detail that projects her feelings like her flowers, sprinkled like pixie dust throughout every room and at every stage of the celebration. Here are samples of the finest in Tuscany, young and vibrant Francesca from Franci’s Flowers.
No winter weddings? No problem! Wedding planners have plenty to do in the off-season, including PR on the slopes. Look at what great snow the Dolomites are covered with this year and how our wedding planner and celebrant Luca is making sure the runs are clear! 
Traditional, personalized, glamorous, old-fashioned – design your wedding to reflect yourself and your feelings when you’re together. Just like Jen, your Zen will influence your choice of venue but unlike the star, yours is geared to accommodate the two of you.
Just ask Heather and Greg, who eloped to Florence and soaked up every minute of bliss in the old renaissance town. Even on their military budget (active duty get 50% off with us) their legal wedding was regal and romantic.

Pampering is not just a girl thing, it’s a guy thing too and that’s how those Italian stallions get the bod! So get your groom going with a day at the Spa with the boys and let them indulge in the company of their favorite blonde …. a frothy beer!
Let them soak in the suds and sauna while they sip on 5 different Italian brews served in the tub with snacks and munchies. Just like at the pub, a little more sophisticated since, he IS marrying you A full 6 hours with tub time, beer tasting and eats, haircut, massage, all for under 100 euros per dude.
Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake have it right, if there’s anywhere on the Amalfi Coast that merits consideration for a celebrity wedding, it’s Ravello. Continue reading…
