REAL WEDDING Claire & Luca

REAL WEDDING Claire & Luca

CULINARY CREATIVITY Naturally, for the Di Donato family— renowned in Toronto for hospitality and culinary excellence—the dining experience was as intentional as the design. Dinner was catered by the Michelin-awarded DON ALFONSO 1890, followed by playful indulgences from sister restaurants PARIS TEXAS and PIZZA WINE DISCO, all part of LIBERTY ENTERTAINMENT GROUP. Guests enjoyed elevated courses paired with curated wines and cocktails, before the menu shifted to comfort-food favorites like crispy fried chicken and crowd-pleasing pizza slices. As a playful nod to Claire and Luca’s distinctive hair—her fiery red and his signature salt-and-pepper—guests received personalized “Spicy Red” chili oil and “Silver Fox” tequila favors. After the wedding, the newlyweds departed on a 3.5-week honeymoon across Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji, staying in luxury hotels, road- tripping from Christchurch to Queenstown, and relaxing in an overwater bungalow in Fiji.

“One of the most memorable highlights was being the first wedding to project a video onto the iconic façade of Casa Loma—an awe- inspiring moment made even more magical by a surprise fireworks display that lit up the sky as the video played.” -Claire Di Donato, Bride

ART & SEOUL Beyond aesthetics, the wedding was a true labour of love, with each floral installation reflecting an exceptional level of artistry and craftsmanship. To ensure the highest level of precision in floral design, one of the floral designers from INFINITUDE DESIGN traveled to Korea for specialized training, refining techniques that brought unparalleled elegance to every arrangement.

For her late- night look, Claire wore a modern, shortened version of her mother’s wedding dress— a stylish tribute to close the night.
