Italy wedding Confetti

Confetti are the fruit of an antique tradition, the first finding on the use of confetti for celebrating weddings, goes back to the year 447 A.D., in fact we find this mentioned in scripts regarding the rich Roman family “Fabi”. This tradition therefore, was created by the Romans, who celebrated reunions and births with the use of confetti, obviously the confetti of those days were not produced with the same ingredients, in fact, instead of sugar they used honey.

From the year 1500, confetti became the ideal conclusion of every big expensive get-together of high prestige and it was in fact a common procedure to offer the confetti to the most illustrated guests.

Confetti have always been considered very auspicious, in the past centuries they were the most prestigious sweets and therefore were reserved for the important ceremonies, like the higher rank weddings.

In general, the tradition has it that the confetti are placed in a separate bag inside the confetti box with the number of confetti ranging from 3 to 5; usually in the event of a wedding, the number of confetti chosen is 5 for it’s symbolic reason, happiness, wealth, longevity, fertility and health.

Generally, each event is associated with confetti of a different colour: Baptism (blue or pink), holy communion and confirmation (white), university degree (red), marriage (white), anniversary (gold, silver, etc, depending on the anniversary that is celebrated).

The classic confetti for a wedding is an almond in white sugared coating: this symbolizes the union of the couple (the two halves are held together by the almond).

Wedding in a vineyard in Orvieto Umbria Italy

Umbrian Hillside is a wonderful sea of green. A land whose rolling hills are dotted with castles, fortresses and watchtowers, well-preserved hill towns produce world-renowned handmade ceramics, and a tasteful wine.
Umbria is exactly in the centre of Italy, north of Rome, east of Tuscany, west of Marches. In this scenery there is a winery company close to Orvieto, one of the top-quality wine producer in Umbria and a wonderful Villa to rent surrounded by vineyards. The villa with his swimming-pool and ancient furniture can accommodate up to 10 people in 5 bedrooms.

The villa is a property of the wine estate that covers 140 beautiful acres where it is also located a deconsecrated church to hold the weddings. In this exclusive setting a couple of Norwegian people helped by Fabrizio Mengasini, owner of the www.italyprestige.com held their wedding with 79 guests all arrived from Norway, somebody from Rome with helicopter too. When the bride and groom arrived in March 08 to have their wedding inspection at the venue their eyes immediately lightened and they said: “this is our wedding venue”. We visited the deconsecrated church, the Villa, walked in the vineyards and of course a visit in the winery to see and taste wine.

The couple wanted for their wedding a special focus on music and Italian food. The couple and their parents rented the villa and the guests slept in villas around and in hotels in the historic centre of Orvieto town. The morning of the events the sky was cloudy and the groom with a gold coloured closed umbrella was already in front of the church to welcome the guests. After the hairdresser finished her work with the bride a glass of ‘spumante’ is just some to give energy for the day.

The florist delivered the light violet roses bouquet and the old Alfa Romeo Duetto Cabriolet dated 1974 left the Villa to the church. All the guests were inside listening to classic music playing by a string quartet when the bride arrived in front of the church just closed the vineyard. The ceremony was long about 50 minutes with soprano and organ music. After the celebration all the guests went outside in the garden with the gorgeous view of Umbrian hillsides to have the cocktail with typical Umbrian food.

That’s the moment that the bride and the groom left the church by the Alfa Romeo and reached the Villa to change the dress (the groom). After the cocktail the couple chose to have a long meal composed by three different first courses like ‘Rise with yellow pumpkin’, ‘Ravioli filled with mozzarella cheese and spinach’, ‘Strengozzi -handmade pasta- with Porcini mushrooms and truffle’, and a delicious ice cream with chocolate. Each single course was accompanied by different kinds of Wine depending on the food. Wine began to have its effect and there was a familiar atmosphere with Italian music songs by Sonia. After the first courses and ice cream at about 4.00 P.M. all the guests have been invited to a wine tasting tour. Just 5 minutes walk and then the visit of the vinery in the tuff caves, all accompanied by a sparkling wine tasting.

When the guests went back to the reception room the bride and groom decided that the man had to change the table seats. They prepared two table seating cards, one for the first courses and one for the second course. In this way the woman seated at the same table of first courses, but they found near them other men talking. The waiter started to serve the second courses, composed by a delicious piece of wild boar served with blueberry and “Leccarda” Pheasant. To drink red wine in Magnum bottles. All the wine was served by the waiters. The second course finished and it was an occasion to stand up a little bit, but also to talk with everybody before the three floors eggnog and fruits wedding cake arrived in the room for the first cut and the party could start with DJVincenzo. It was a long wedding day immersed in the vineyard and of course in the wine too.
