Let's start this 2023 by scrolling through the main trends of the year.
At what time?
In the early 20th century, ceremonies took place in the morning and receptions in the evening. So guests had time to relax. The banquet was concentrated exclusively in lunches of interminable length and everything took place mostly in closed locations.
Over the years the habit of the afternoon ceremony has taken shape, especially in the summer.
The heat of recent decades, at least in our country locations in Tuscany, discourages the appearance of the couple in the early afternoon hours: and the guests thank them.
While for winter weddings, the problem does not arise by reducing the party to indoor spaces, for summer weddings the ceremony tends to be postponed in the second part of the afternoon, after around 4 pm….
It follows that the rest of the party, the funniest and most awaited part, runs fresh in the shade of the last sun: Buffet, cocktail, elegant dinner, cake cutting ceremony, night dance, open bar cocktail, night dessert, chocolate tasting, cigars…someone starts again late at night with spaghetti or pizza.
Another thing is the Destination Wedding, that sort of journey undertaken by couples and guests from all over the world who came together specifically for the wedding. Albatro Ristorazione is an expert in creating recreational banquets suitable for every part of the trip and stay.
For example, fantastic welcome buffets, BBQ evenings that anticipate the party, light feast-style banquets that anticipate the fateful day to conclude the event with a cheerful pizza party.
It is up to the creativity of the couple to insert, between one banquet and another, recreational moments such as guided tours of the cities of art, dips in the pool, moments of Tuscan cooking school, walks on foot or on horseback, etc. In this case, the entire ceremony will take place over several days from 3 to a week and the celebration times are considerably extended.
