WITH THIS RING As Claire and Luca exchanged rings, Claire’s band held special significance—a vintage Cartier Love ring once belonging to Luca’s Nonna, who passed away during his childhood. As Claire shared, “It was the exact style I had dreamed of and fit perfectly,” making the heirloom feel truly meant to be.
VINTAGE TOAST Before the ceremony, Luca gathered with his groomsmen for a celebratory toast in the wine cellar, where they opened a bottle of Dom Pérignon Vintage 2003.
“My favourite memory was walking down the aisle and exchanging our vows.” -Claire Di Donato, Bride
BOLDLY BESPOKE Claire’s wedding gown was custom-made in Miami by couture designer GABRIELLA ARANGO. Crafted from 100% Italian silk, the gown featured a subtle nod to menswear with a tailored vest- style collar that fastened into a bow at the nape of her neck. “I wanted something elegant, bold, and entirely unique, and Gabriella brought that vision to life,” shares Claire.
ETHEREAL MOMENT The ceremony was held outdoors at CASA LOMA within the landmark’s permanent chapel installation, a striking metal structure nestled in the gardens. Enhanced by an extraordinary floral installation from INFINITUDE DESIGN, the setting became a masterful tribute to nature’s quiet majesty. Guests entered the gardens to find a breathtaking floral arch composed of over 6,000 stems of baby’s breath, fresh white garden lilies, and forest branches Cascading strands of amaranth created the illusion of florals suspended midair, gently swaying in the breeze.
