WEDDING FEVER

Since I'm getting married in June 2017, it's the right time to do something or it will never happen :-) Last weekend, after coming back from Florence we went at wedding menu degustation organized by catering from Varese Il giardino dei desieri. Check them out: CLICK HERE




What can I say after 5 hours of eating? Huge surprise! Positive surprise! Everything was perfectly planned, in very profesional way. We got all the info we wanted plus the ladies that works at Il giardino dei desideri replied all our questions about wedding organization. I'm not one of those women who enjoys planning it so I'm happy I found a company that can help me a bit with something more than just food.



As for menu... usually after big italian lunches or dinners I feel heavy and I wanna sleep. But not this time :-) The food was well prepared with high quality ingredients. All looked and tasted fantastic! We've been told, we can change the menu for our wedding, so that's another big plus because we know that there are many caterings that offer only already created few menus without possibility of making changes.







The prices depends from what you want to serve to your wedding guests, but standard prices starts from 90€ and includes tablecloths, cutlery, wedding cake, service at the wedding and more things...

We still have two more caterings to check but... something tells me we'll go back to Il giardino dei desideri!

BETWEEN ART AND FASHION IN FLORENCE

My best friend says I'm crazy and probably she's right :-) I am obsessed with Yves Saint Laurent and his art work, especially Mondrian dress which was also main subject of my thesis. 
In my obsession I was only dreaming of seeing Mondrian dress in MET in New York one day until I read about the exhibition taking place in Florence that I wrote about HERE
The day of my trip to Florence finaly came and I saw the masterpiece...





 It's incredible how Yves Saint Laurent got inspired by Mondrian's painting and created magnificient haute couture dress.

The exhibition takes place in Salvatore Ferragamo museum in Florence (Piazza di Santa Trinita 5), so there were also most famous shoes made by Ferragamo and those beauties:


Marylin Monroe:


Audrey Hepburn:


Beautiful. Just beautiful. 

It's open until 7th April 2017 so something tells me I'll visit it again :-)

Tickets 7€, but for it's worth paying even 100€ :-)
