"They wanted to create a relaxed and family-friendly atmosphere, which we achieved by incorporating elements like a beach club and a family-style lunch," Costanza told The Style List. Surrounded by close family and friends, the couple exchanged heartfelt vows under the clear Italian sky, with the Mediterranean breeze adding a touch of natural beauty to the occasion. The setting, with its terracotta hues and olive trees, created a rustic yet refined ambience, perfect for the couple’s romantic vision.
The festivities kicked off in true Italian fashion with a glamorous welcome party aboard a private motorboat, where guests sailed along the Amalfi Coast, sipping cocktails and enjoying a sunset over the Faraglioni. It sounds almost too idyllic to be true—champagne, Michelin-starred menus, and live music against the backdrop of a sparkling Mediterranean. "It was as if the couple had stepped into their own personal dream sequence, with the sparkling sea and the vibrant sky providing the perfect backdrop," said Costanza.
The actual wedding day, held at Rocca Cilento Castle, was no less spectacular. With floral arrangements designed by Federica Sotilli and a décor palette that blended classic and modern elements, the ceremony radiated an understated elegance. "The highlight of the wedding decor was undoubtedly the stunning floral arrangements," Giaconi explained. "We worked with Federica Sotilli to blend classic and modern elements, using soft, romantic colours. The result was both elegant and unforgettable." The reception, featuring a parade around the castle with local flag bearers and a wedding cake by renowned chef Damiano Carrara, was as grand as it was heartfelt.
The third and final day was dedicated to relaxation at Giardini del Fuenti in Vietri sul Mare, where a beach club was recreated in the gardens. The couple bid farewell to their guests in true Italian spirit, hosting a relaxed lunch at the Giardini del Fuenti, complete with fried pizza and pasta. This wasn’t some over-the-top extravaganza; it was a simple, family-style meal, perfectly reflecting their desire for an intimate, personal celebration.
A Style Icon’s Moment
No wedding, of course, is complete without the fashion.

The cascading layers, delicate lace, and fitted silhouette were perfectly complemented by a dramatic veil, making her the centre of attention as she walked down the aisle. Ed Westwick, too, was the embodiment of classic elegance in his tailored suit, exuding a sense of effortless luxury that perfectly matched Amy’s bridal look. Together, they were the epitome of chic.
This wasn’t just a celebrity wedding; it was a beautiful celebration of love, set against one of the most romantic backdrops imaginable. And, really, isn’t that what all weddings should aspire to be?
