Danielle and Jimmy’s wedding at Castello di Ugento was a dream. They had about 80 guests total, and the event flow started with a beautiful symbolic wedding ceremony in the garden of Castello, followed by a cocktail aperitivo with live music by Saxobeat.

In the glow of the early-morning Italian sun, Danielle lounged in a silk robe and sipped champagne as she prepped with her ladies for the big day. Jimmy also took his time getting ready, stopping to take in the fresh air on the terrace of his castle suite.

We love how effortlessly chic this couple is. Danielle rocked an ornately beaded lace dress with a nude illusion lining and accessorized with pearl-studded heels. Jimmy looked equally cool in an ivory tuxedo and black velvet Christian Louboutin loafers. Then, when it was time to get the party started, Danielle surprised everyone in a sequin mini dress.

They then followed the candles and garland by Zair’Art Flower Deco into the main courtyard. It was a wonderful dinner with family and friends, speeches, dances, and a lot of laughs! After dinner, the party continued inside the Aula Magna and Scudera, the ancient stable and armory of the castle. There was dancing and partying all night long, along with snacks and drinks. They also set up a Vanity Fair-style photobooth for the wedding guests inside the museum wing of the castle under the frescoes.
