Last year my husband and I flew on Delta/Alitalia direct to Venice and went on a cruise -- the cruise was wonderful!



what cruise line did u take and how long was it for?


It was a first cruise for both of us.

We went on a 7-Day Mediterranean cruise (with Costa Cruise lines)/and 2 days in Venice, Italy - it was wonderful! Left out of Venice and visited:
1-Bari, Italy;
2-Katakolon, Greece;
3-Izmir, Turkey;
4-Istanbul, Turkey and
5-Dubrovnik, Croatia and
then back to Venice for 2 days

I didn't want to come home.

She says there are alot more that she has...she just sent some of the more popular ones...

Their website is http://www.steckli.it/bomboniere.htm

You need to send them an email and they will get back to you. It has to be written in Italian because they don't speak English.



thanks so much for the info

we attached the confetti to the favor box. We used the fabric that after your done looks like a flower. I dont have a pic from my wedding but this should give you an idea..These are what we ordered. I got them from Marianne at Magical Favors and instead of the ribbon saying Rosaria & Anthony October 30, 2005..we had the bomboniere tag..it is little and it had a thank you saying inside. We got all from a vendor in Italy



gorgeous! does she sell them or did u have to order them through her? and did they come assembled or did u have to put it together?

***edited to ask if you have her website? i just tried looking her up on the vendor page and it says she's been de-activated as a member

The lace on those is beautiful...I love the way they look...

My mom actually has one of them from her cousin's 50th wedding anniversary and they got them from here...and she was so persistent that I find out about getting them...she was so happy when I told her I got in touch with them they are really pretty in person...

Rosaria - these are beautiful - so elegant.
I also want to have them with the little tag on it that says 'il nostro matrimonio' when I asked FH what he thought of that idea he was like 'I like that - what does it mean

she wants us to put 'L&M's' in the candy buffet translation 'M&M's' or she asks my FH if he wants a 'Krispie Rice teat' - yup 'Rice Krispie Treat'...or the joke in the family when it starts to rain and the windows are opened...'Sabrina...go closa da windows...theres a 'hunder' storma coming
