Homebodii Bride of the Month: Sandra Catania

A little bit about me…

Sandra and Mario got married on September 28th in their favorite place on earth,the enchanting Taormina, the heart of Sicily, where the Mediterranean Sea kisses the sky. The exquisite backdrop for their wedding served as Villa Mon Repos, known for its breathtaking vistas. Here's a lil glimpse into their memories they made that day.

Looking back on the day we are grateful for.. 

Planning a wedding that truly reflected our personalities, making all decisions together from major aspects like venue to smaller details like the shade of green for the flowers or romantic calligraphy wedding stationery. We are so glad that we created a day that was uniquely ours. We also appreciated the fun we have during the delicious dinner with perfect wine pairings, and dancing the night away.

We knew we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together when... 

There wasn’t a specific moment we knew we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together. It happened over time. We have so much in common, work incredibly well together, and Mario is just an amazing person. He’s so kind, loving, understanding, caring, respectful, and funny. Couldn’t imagine being with anyone else. When I look back on the day now I feel…. a sense of warmth and happiness when I remember the joy of our wedding day and the people who were there to share it with us, a sense of contentment knowing that I shared this important milestone with my loved one and are now embarking on a new chapter together. I would like to go back to that day.

A word of advice to new brides would be…

to embrace flexibility and remember the big picture. Marriage is a journey with many twists and turns, so be prepared to adapt and adjust, and don't let the little things derail your happiness. Focus on the love and commitment that brought you to this point, and cherish the journey together. Also, Find the right style that makes you feel comfortable and true.

Homebodii moment was special because and I wore… 

The beautiful Helena robe that made me feel romantic and confident! I live in Italy and I searched carefully for my long lace robe until I found Helena robe and I fell in love with it. For me it's the perfect getting-ready robes. It was a very special moment to wear that robe because it was the perfect way to start the day, feeling comfortable, beautiful, and completely in the moment before all the excitement began. I truly felt a REAL bride in it.
