Choosing the mood of the party
The mood of your wedding party is crucial in determining the atmosphere of the evening.
Do you want something chic and sophisticated, or do you prefer a more relaxed and informal atmosphere?
Here are some ideas:
- Classic elegance: if you want to maintain an elegant and refined theme, opt for a stunning location such as a historic villa or castle. Use soft lighting, candles and floral decorations to create a romantic and luxurious ambience.
- Beach party: if your wedding is in a coastal location, a beach party can be perfect. Think tiki torches, colourful cocktails and live music for a relaxed and fun atmosphere.
- Rustic chic: for a more informal but equally charming party, consider a party in a wine cellar or farmhouse. String lights, wooden tables and rustic decorations can create a cosy and festive atmosphere.
Dance party: if what you want is to get wild design a real disco set, platform, DJ lights. A cheerful young and truly carefree ending.
Music: the heart of the wedding party
Music is essential to create the right atmosphere and entertain your guests.
Here’s how to choose the perfect music for your wedding party:
DJ or Live Band: a DJ can offer a wide range of music to suit all tastes, while a live band can add a touch of authenticity and class. Choose the solution that best suits your style and party mood.
Customised Playlist: if you opt for a DJ, be sure to create a customised playlist with your favourite songs. Include a variety of genres to keep the energy high and please all guests.
Italian music: don’t forget to include some Italian classics in your music selection. Songs like ‘Volare’ by Domenico Modugno or ‘That’s Amore’ by Dean Martin can add a touch of tradition and get everyone dancing.
Elements of Italian Tradition: a pleasant surprise
