There are few elements that you can include to your wedding, to create a unique Destination Wedding in Sicily.
1 - Ceramic tiles theme
You can use Sicilian ceramic tiles for your table numbers, invitations, wedding cake, menus etc... soooo D&G!
2 - Lemons & Boungainvillea
Add colours and a fresh summer atmosfere! You can use lemons together with Boungainvillea as part of your centrepiece or you can have one lemon for each plate with the guest name.
3 - Teste di Moro (Moro heads)
The Moro heads have recently become super popular and have been used as centrepieces filled with flowers. They are either made of white ceramic or very colourful and they are always bought as a pair; a man and a woman. You can add lemons or flowers or mix the two together. Lately we have used them in a small version for each guests as favours. It is a unique and very Sicilian idea!
4 - Sicilian handcrafted bags
This is super nice to have as gift bags for your women guests or just for your bridesmiads. You can embroid their personal names, the date of the wedding or a cute Italian word like "Bella" or even better a nice Italian sentence like "La Dolce Vita" (The sweet life)
5- Tamburi Siciliani
The drum is a traditional instrument for the Sicilians. They create this instrument with goat skin which makes a particular and unmistakable sound.It is a very original idea to use as your seating chart.
6- A typical Sicilian cart
The Sicilian cart (in Sicilian Carrettu) it was used as a mode to transport goods throughout the Sicilian territory from the 19th century until the second half of the 20th century. Built with different qualities of wood, often embellished with carvings and pictorial decorations. Nowdays it has become a craft art object, as well as one of the symbols of Sicilian Folkloristic iconography. We recently use it for the bridal entrance, with men playing drums in the background. A super fun way to make a unique entrance!
What element will you add to make your Sicilian Destination Wedding special?
