Frequently asked
Glossary
- Promessi sposi
- Italian for 'the betrothed' or 'engaged couple' - the name of this Bari bridal fair and the everyday Italian term used for couples planning a wedding in Puglia.
- Sposa / sposo
- Bride and groom. Exhibitor catalogues at Promessi Sposi separate bridal (sposa) lines from groomswear (sposo) lines so couples can book both consultations on the same visit.
- Atelier
- A bridal or tailoring studio where gowns and suits are made, adjusted and fitted. At the fair, ateliers present sample collections and take first fitting appointments.
- Abito da sposa / abito da sposo
- Wedding dress and groomswear. Most Bari exhibitors show a signature dress line plus made-to-measure options.
- Su misura
- Made to measure. Italian ateliers use the term for garments cut to the couple's measurements rather than sold off the rack.
- Prova
- A fitting appointment. After an initial consultation at the show, couples typically book one or more prove at the atelier before the final garment is completed.
- Bomboniere
- Traditional Italian wedding favours given to guests, often presented in tulle, boxes or ceramic holders. A dedicated product category at Promessi Sposi.
- Confetti (wedding confetti)
- Sugar-coated almonds offered to guests in Italy, distinct from paper confetti. Usually matched to the bomboniere and the wedding colour palette.
