<\/a>Wedding Trends: Outdoor Wedding<\/h2>\n

In recent years, the trend of holding weddings outdoors has been gaining increasing popularity. This applies not only to the banquet but also to the ceremony itself. Italy is the ideal country for a celebration in this style. Rainy days here can be counted on one hand, and in some regions the temperature never drops below +15 even in winter.<\/span><\/p>\n

When choosing a venue for your wedding, a garden, a forest glade, or a beach will dominate over the traditional banquet halls in restaurants. According to surveys, 55% of Italian couples would prefer to celebrate their event in the great outdoors.<\/span><\/p>\n

This will also affect the wedding d\u00e9cor. The motto will be “the closer to nature, the better”<\/strong>. The guiding principle of the wedding ceremony will be harmony with nature \u2013 with fabrics and materials made of linen, wood, moss, lanterns hanging on trees, and candles. All of this will add magic and create an atmosphere of enchantment.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>Wedding Trends: Aperitif and Wedding Banquet<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

In Italy, there is a tradition to serve an aperitif before the main feast. This applies not only to dinners with friends but also to weddings. While the newlyweds are being photographed, guests can mingle over a glass of Prosecco and light appetizers. According to new trends, in 2026 most couples will want to move away from the classic restaurant scheme of “aperitif, first course, second course, and dessert.”<\/span><\/p>\n

There will be a preference for an “easy” style banquet \u2013 a light and relaxed atmosphere where creativity has its place. For 40% of couples, the banquet is primarily about a rich selection of dishes. But the main thing is that this selection must be original. It is not enough to simply feed the guests deliciously; they must be surprised! The trend toward small portions of assagini<\/strong> is growing, as they say in Italy. Guests will have the opportunity to sample several first courses, several second courses, and there will also be room for a variety of desserts.<\/span><\/p>\n

The choice of the menu itself is also becoming eco-friendly \u2013 wedding trends dictate a fashion for closeness to nature and natural ingredients. Preference is given to so-called 0 km products \u2013 cheeses and meat from small farms, fruits and vegetables from local gardens. The balance tips in favor of a restaurant that produces its own cheese, makes fresh pasta from farm-fresh eggs, or grows vegetables in its own garden.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>Cake or Sweets Buffet?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

The tradition of cutting a cake at a wedding is unlikely to ever disappear. However, more and more couples are opting to make their main dessert single-tiered, so that guests literally receive just a piece. The focus is shifting to a sweets table featuring pastries and mini-cakes to suit every taste. In this way, the tradition of a huge wedding cake takes a back seat. For beautiful photographs, a mini version is perfectly sufficient, according to 55% of surveyed Italians.<\/span><\/p>\n
