Another Chicweddings event in southern Italy! It was fresh, fun, romantic, and especially it was a wedding where friends wanted to laugh and girls wanted just to have fun :)

A beach wedding is beautiful in winter as well. Think of deserted coastal villages, long stretches of sand with nobody around, fur coats and straw baskets, a lighthouse, warm blue blankets and soft striped cushions on a hot February morning. I was born by the sea and of course got married right by the sea. I could not think of a BETTER place to tie the knot, I could not think of ANOTHER place. For me, my special day had to be all about swimming, enjoying the calm Mediterannean waters, drinking Malvasia and feeling the warm sun on my skin.
My sister though likes cold weather, she loves when the northern breeze caresses her cheeks in wintertime. She likes to cycle along the shore wearing thick jumpers and confy cashmere hats, boots and velvet trousers. She is probably the kind of person who would choose a winter month for her wedding celebrations.
Thinking about that…about the fact that not everybody likes to get married when it’s hot and sticky, I have created this February beach setting for a lovely, seaside wedding breakfast. I can picture the guests arriving at the church, located right on the beach, with their bicycle and a pic nic basket full of tasty delicacies to be enjoyed after the ceremony. A light breakfast, followed by a stroll on the beach where laid back pictures are taken while the bride and groom play in shallow water with their rain boots. Then, after sunset, everyone reaches the fishing village for a superb meal at the local “Osteria”.
What would the perfect attire for such an informal authentic wedding day be?
- A fur coat
- A chiffon dress
- A pair of Hunter boots
- A cashmere hat
VIVE LA MER….

Today I blog to you on the beloved Waterfall Braid. Waterfall braids can be sported at the beach, out for tea with friends, or for a fun night out…its true, any occation.
How to create the Waterfall braid:
1. Start with front pieces of your head
2. Begin to add new pieces with the French Braid method (going around the head, and cascading down)
3. Each time doing this dropping the bottom piece
4. Continue as far around the head as you would like
5. End by pinning the end of the braid in place
We love the Waterfall braid. It is so complex and so unique, and is perfect for any bride to wear for their beach wedding.

Sorry gals and pals but I cannot think about anything else than the three “S” at the moment (Sand, Sea and Sun!).
I bought these sandals today and I think they would work out extremely well for a casual beachside wedding.
So I started surfing the net to find a matching accesory and I fell in love with this lace bridal summer hat by Jane Taylor Millinery.
Extravagant and ethereal: superb!
