The symbolic blessing is the simplest, most intimate and most flexible way to arrange your event in Italy.
Italyweddings will arrange the celebrant - a non religious, mother tongue English speaker, and in the weeks and months leading up to your wedding, we will work with you on all aspects of the celebration. You'll be free to choose the text of the ceremony, and we will assist you with the details such as:
Music: classical musicians, such as harp, violin, viola, cello, Spanish guitar, and combinations of these.
Music: help with the repertoire, and timing during the blessing.
The bride being given away, and other entrances.
Readings, prayers and blessings.
Exchange of vows and personal pledges.
Ring exchange.
A signed certificate.
The symbolic blessing is entirely suitable for a number of situations. We are more than happy to work with you, regardless of gender, religious, secular or nondenominational background
The content and style of the blessing is really limitless, and depends on the requirements and personal situation of the couple. We have a few standard texts for the blessing and for readings that we feel are appropriate, but each couple is encouraged to give their personal input.
As for the location of the blessing: a symbolic blessing may be held anywhere that fits your needs - most often outdoor villa settings, overlooking the Tuscan countryside, on the terrace of a medieval castle, on beaches, or in unconsecrated chapels at private villas and hotels.
Our in-house floral designed will be on hand leading up to the event to discuss with you the style and aesthetics of the event. We can arrange arches, chuppahs, marquees, or just allow the Italian countryside to be your frame.
