Wedding traditions in Italy
What a local guest expects to see on the wedding day.
Confetti (sugared almonds)
In Italian, confetti are the sugared almonds — not the paper strips. Given in odd numbers in small bags (bomboniere) to each guest.
La serenata
The groom sings —or brings a band— under the bride's window the night before the wedding. Especially alive in the south.
The busta (envelope)
The main wedding gift in Italy is cash in an envelope. Handed personally to the couple at the end of the banquet; no Nordic-style gift list.
Italian wedding cake
Usually millefoglie with chantilly cream or a giant tiramisù, not the multi-tier fondant cake of the British tradition.
