"While spending some time in Italy a couple of weeks ago, a friend of mine, American wedding accessory stylist and designer Jessica Gallo mentioned something she noticed over the past year she has lived in Northern Italy---a fun drink all the Italians sip before meals. That drink is The Aperol Spritz. It's fun, summery, and completely refreshing. The perfect drink to sip on before your meal arrives and an absolutely wonderful signature cocktail for a Summer wedding! We were set on bringing this tradition back home to American weddings and events." -Danielle Nichol Photography
