Ed Westwick from Gossip Girl and Amy Jackson's wedding was held on the Amalfi Coast at Castello Di Rocca

The bride and groom wore Chopard jewellery. "Our wedding bands were perfect, as were the diamonds and watches, which we sported over the course of the weekend. Once again, the look we were going for celebrated timeless elegance," Amy explains. “I have been working with Valentino Beauty for several years, so I chose it on my special day. My hairstyling was taken care of by Nikki Wolfe and Patrick Wilson, two dear friends. Patrick I've known forever; his son, Jesse, was one of my groomsmen!”

Amy Jackson's bridesmaids

Deciding on bridesmaid dresses was the most difficult task for Amy. "I wanted a dress that they all felt comfortable in. Each of them has an amazingly unique personality and fashion sense so the dresses all had to be fun and fabulous just like them. This is exactly what I found in Rebecca Vallance's floral dresses. Their strapless necklines matched mine perfectly, and the pink flowers were a nod to the ceremony theme of our "Secret Enchanted Garden." The little bridesmaids and pageboys stole the show for us! They were perfection. We opted for powder pink gowns for the girls by Marchesa and white shoes by Age of Innocence, while the children wore elegant but simple neutral linen shorts and shirts with dark pink cummerbunds and custom-made short boat hats. Martha, Scarlett and Rakhi walked down the aisle with their woven baskets, tossing rose petals to add that final touch to the enchanted garden."

The marriage between the Amalfi Coast and the Cilento region

“We fell in love with Italy for its extraordinary style, delicious food and deep sense of family-it was the perfect destination for us! The Amalfi Coast with its timeless romance and that vintage charm was the perfect place for our celebration.”

The event began on Friday with a sunset cruise aboard the Motonave Patrizia. “We sailed along the coast of Ravello, Positano and Sorrento stopping in Capri for a dip as the sun set behind the famous Faraglioni rocks. Day two was our big day, and it took place at the historic Rocca Cilento Castle, a 16th-century castle nestled in the hills of southern Italy with panoramic views of the sea.”

On the third and final day, the bride and groom greeted guests at Giardini Del Fuenti in historic Vietri Sul Mare, a picturesque garden and beach club carved into the rock of the Amalfi Coast. "It was the perfect setting for a family-style Italian brunch under the lemon trees." This moment was followed by an afternoon of relaxation, during which guests could sunbathe and to admire the beautiful view.

The wedding was held in Cilento. Castello di Rocca Cilento, a 16th-century castle recently renovated by the Sgueglia family, has a breathtaking view. The ceremony took place on the terrace at sunset at 5 p.m. "The sun was setting in the distant horizon ahead of us. We wanted to recreate a ceremony reminiscent of one of our favorite places in the world, the garden of our new home in the English countryside, that would make us both feel happy and at peace. Our wonderful wedding planner, Constance of a Bianco Bouquet, and florist Federica (@theblondeflower) designed a magical enchanted secret garden that paid homage to our love of nature and especially our backyard. One of the most exciting moments was the procession around the castle walls after the ceremony. We made the rounds with glasses of limoncello in hand, accompanied by musicians and flag-wavers who led us, our friends and family through the cobblestone streets. We then returned to the castle courtyard for an aperitif. Under the arbor that accompanied guests, we recreated a tunnel filled with chandeliers, lights and plants. There was food for all tastes: a barbecue area with delicious vegetables, seafood, and meat skewers; an oyster bar; and a vegetarian corner with fresh salads and colorful bowls. The La Friggitara section was a crowd favorite: it served montanarine (fried pizzas) with tomato, basil and Parmesan cheese, along with mortadella with pistachio and lime. The seafood counter, with salmon and tuna tartare, was incredible! As the sun finally set, our guests were led to the tables for dinner." For the mise en place, Constance and the Bianco Bouquet team used lots of warm candles and alternated between tall centerpieces and low arrangements. The pergola was covered with a mix of white flowers such as wisteria to create a magical and extravagant ambiance.

The star-studded menu, and the traditional Italian dinner

"For us, happiness is a table full of friends and food, and that's exactly and this philosophy was the focus of our weekend celebration."

For the day on the boat, the newlyweds welcomed Michelin-starred chef Salvatore Lazzetta, of Ristorante Rear. The menu was a celebration of classic Neapolitan cuisine and innovative flavors of the region. Dishes included pacchero allo scarpariello with pecorino and parmesan cheese, zucchini scapece cream sandwich, scampi tartare, and oyster and champagne risotto.

"For our wedding day, we wanted a traditional and authentic dining experience that was a bit elaborate but still healthy, explains Ed Westwick. Our guests really enjoyed the tortello with Neapolitan-style escarole, restricted anchovy sauce, and black truffle, the raviolone with beef stracciata, smoked provolone, and chestnut fondue, and the gnocchetti with asparagus fondue, guanciale, dates, and caciocavallo cheese. Equally tasty is the snapper with scampi and clam guazzetto sauce, perfectly paired with roasted endive. Since Amy is a vegetarian, we made sure to have equally delicious vegetarian dishes." The main vegetarian course consisted of a carrot flan with low-temperature vegetables, roasted cashews, Jerusalem artichoke cream and Norcia truffle. “The feast really celebrated the rich flavors of Italian cuisine and added a special touch to our unforgettable day.”

The farewell brunch at Del Fuenti Gardens was a dream. "We gathered under the lemon trees around a large family-style table, beautifully decorated with ceramics from Vietri Sul Mare. We then indulged in a feast of fresh, local foods, Ciro from the famous Concettina restaurant in the heart of Naples joined us, serving his fantastic pizzas, including Ciro Oliva Concettina's delicious Pizza ai Tre Santi. We also enjoyed the rich flavors of buffalo mozzarella, basil, and Sorrento tomatoes. We visited the restaurant while we were making preparations and had a great time making pizza with Ciro! And he is probably the only person in history allowed to put pineapple on pizza in Naples!!! As for spirits, we fell in love with the local organic wine from Villa Mathilde and also chose a wonderful imported champagne from the Alexander Johnson distillery." Personalized labels were designed for each bottle for the occasion.

Ed Westwick and Amy Jackson's wedding cake and wedding reception

Damiano Carrara designed and created not only the wedding cake but a whole range of all kinds of sweet treats. The cake had five tiers. It began with a crispy layer of white chocolate and candied roses, followed by a luscious vanilla Bavarian cream. The base was a delicate choux pastry cookie, topped with a light and airy lychee mousse and finished with a vibrant raspberry jelly. "After we cut the cake, we went wild with our first dance to "Fly Me to the Moon," and to "Dancing in the Moonlight," all our friends and family joined us, it was an unforgettable moment! Then the band came into action with four singers, an electric guitar, three trumpets, a saxophone and drums. The energy was absolutely electric!" The band was high on the castle walls, overlooking our mirrored dance floor where everyone was - it felt like our own mini-concert under the stars!
