The process of selecting the wedding wardrobe was a favorite part of the planning process for both the bride and the groom. “We had an amazing stylist, Gabrielle Hurwitz, who understood the vision,” Haein explains. “We wanted to pay homage to our surroundings and location, while being comfortable and reflective of our personal styles.”
To that end, Haein wore the iconic Monique Lhuillier Bloom gown—a dress that her grandmother actually picked—with Amina Muaddi shoes and Mateo baroque pearl earrings. She also wore vintage diamonds, pearls, and a 24k ring, all from her mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, and Giovanni’s grandmother. “I wanted to carefully incorporate a tasteful mix of new and historic pieces, honoring the women that brought me to the big day,” she says. Meanwhile, makeup artist and hair stylist Chloe Schlossmann was on hand to bring Haein’s beauty vision of natural, glowy skin to life.
Giovanni wore his favorite suit designer, Paul Smith, paired with a Canali shirt. His Gucci shoes paid tribute to his Italian roots, while his socks were from Comme Si and his bowtie from Charvet in honor of the couple’s favorite city, Paris. “His handkerchief was from Hermès, a wedding day gift from me,” Haein adds.
Guests arrived via boat, which docked at the villa, and were greeted by a string quartet and champagne at the jetty. They then enjoyed a spritz or two while they waited for the ceremony to begin on the lower terrace near the lake. “During the ceremony, I kept thinking I was in a dream and could not believe the wedding was happening right before my eyes,” Haein admits. “All of the people that we love and love us most, in one place celebrating us is a surreal feeling and unlike anything we have felt before. Also, having the opportunity to have such a wonderful celebration with our puppy Mela and baby Aerin Lina made our hearts so full!”
A signature scent, Altar by Byredo, was burning at every table, while a jazz band played to welcome guests into the aperitif area before the dinner. “As dinner was wrapping up, I surprised Giovanni with this incredible electric violinist Andrea Casta, who was so much fun. “It definitely kick-started the party into the evening!” Haein says. For the after-party, the bride changed into a Peter Do fall 2021 look and Chloe created a bold look with a smoky eye and sparkly jewels to tie the full party look together.
The day after, the wedding guests went on a sunset cocktail cruise to Bellagio and had dinner at the couple’s favorite restaurant, La Punta. The bride wore a Philosophy by Lorenzo Serafini dress, Prada heels, and Celine sunglasses, and the groom wore a Prada suit paired with a Kiton shirt with The Row loafers.
“Looking back, I am so thankful and grateful for being able to have such an incredible wedding,” Haein says. “Every partner that we worked with, our family, and our friends’ support means everything to us—and it was a fairy-tale dream wedding come true.”
