Elopement Villa Cimbrone, Ravello Italy | Kelly & Poston
12/10/17
With the love and support from family and friends, Kelly and Poston married in a private ceremony at the Villa Cimbrone in Ravello, Italy. Just the two of them, the officiant and I, taking photos. They exchanged vows in the morning, which left the entire day to enjoy being newlyweds. Drinking champagne in the town square, having ice cream and taking beautiful photographs around Ravello. The inspiration for the wedding was “La Dolce Vita”. Creating a day that was all about their relationship and represented the romance they share. Read more from the bride Kelly about planning a destination wedding so far from home below.
From the bride:
What do you love about your destination that was specific only to that place?
What was the best idea you had for planning your destination wedding?
Best advice to future brides and grooms of destination weddings:
Best memory of the wedding:Aside from saying “I Do”, our favorite memory from our wedding day was spending an unplanned afternoon wandering around and exploring the town of Ravello in our wedding attire. We were able to relax and take in the beauty of the moment and day and just have fun! Did you use a wedding planner? If yes, how did he or she contribute to the event? If no, how did you organize a wedding that was so far from your hometown?We did not hire an official wedding planner in Italy, but our sister-in-law Tiffany Pritchett of Hart & Co. in Charlotte, NC, is an experienced event planner that helped us outline the major decisions associated with destinations and a timeline for completing them, as well as vetting the vendors we used. After we hired Isabelle at 2 Brides Photography, we relied heavily on her for recommendations for flowers, hair, and venue selection since she was experienced in the area (well beyond her photography duties). Between these two professionals, I felt very confident about the decisions we made for our wedding day. If we had actual guests, I would have hired a local wedding planner to help with logistics and day of events.
In retrospect, is there anything you would have done differently in the planning?
The only thing I would have done differently was to stay a few more days in Ravello because it was so amazing!
