Junebug reader, Kara, recently wrote to tell us all about her wedding plans, and one of my favorite things she's chosen for her June wedding is to have an Italian pasta reception instead of a traditional sit down dinner. "A few kinds of noodles and sauces, Caesar salad, a mix of breads and then our cake. Cheaper and not as formal, but still sexy. Italian, easy and romantic, and this bride loves her pasta!" What a great way to add personality to the reception! Some other fun Italian touches to throw in could be some antipasti dishes to start the guests off before Kara and her new husband arrive, a yummy Prosecco for the toast and a few gelato flavors to be served along with the cake. Thanks Kara! Good luck!

# re: Your Wedding, Italian Style

Since my intended (almost husband) is Australian, for the toasts? He and I are toasting with an aussie drink called Bundaberg GingerBeer. The guests and our families have either punch or sparkling cider to toast with. (The church we're marrying and also having our reception in does not allow alcohol.)

How about a Italian carbonated lemonade? It would go really well with the pasta bar. Limonata is yummy.  Trader Joe's sells bigger bottles of a different brand that I can't remember the name of but love. You could probably order cases of it. Not Australian-- but an idea!
