Under the Apulian Sun: A Fairytale Wedding Through the Lens

The Fashion Wedding expertly captures the essence of the celebration: the breathtaking beauty of Apulia, the raw emotions of the couple, and the undeniable elegance that permeates every detail. On May 8th, 2024, amid the historic charm of Masseria Potenti, Valentina and Christian pledged their forever after.

Their love story began eight years earlier, blossoming from a first dinner in Milan. For Valentina, this wedding was a dream come true, envisioned with a touch of southern Italian flair and a dash of high fashion. Three stunning dresses, each a perfect complement to a different moment of the celebration, allowed her to showcase her unique style.

The first dress, a breathtaking vision in light peach designed by celebrity favorite Monique Lhuillier, set the tone for the day. The corset style flowed effortlessly into a voluminous skirt, reminiscent of blooming flowers. A headpiece by Mariene Elena and jewelry by Aulire completed the look.

For her second act, Valentina stunned in an elegant white gown by Parisian designer Stéphane Rolland. The body-fitting silhouette featured dramatic sleeves and an open back, a testament to Rolland's expertise honed during his years at Balenciaga. Maison Alaïa's clear cap-toe mule pumps in white provided the perfect finishing touch.

The final dress, by Muse by Berta, was a short masterpiece crafted from lace. A flowing tulle skirt added a touch of whimsy, perfect for twirling the night away. Rettore's photographs capture all the rich details of the Apulian landscape and the intimate moments that made this dream wedding a reality.
