Decorative Figurine Abbraccie Aroore Mio Alessi

The Embrace Me My Love figurine rests on a small base, which allows stable placing decorations on the wedding cake. This unconventional decoration presents a newly married, young couple. Massimo Giacon decided to a slightly unconventional step. With a slight disregard of tradition, the author imagines a marriage in which a woman holds in her husband's arms in a ritual gesture inaugurating the entrance to a new common home.
