melodies—a melodic overture to the grandeur that would follow. e next night, the rehearsal dinner at the opulent Aman Hotel unfolded as an intimate golden-hour aperitivo, drenched in elegance and anticipation. But it was New Year's Eve that redefined magic. Held within the frescoed chambers of the 15th- century Palazzo Pisani Moretta, the ceremony channeled the decadence of Renaissance nobility. Lusso Events orchestrated each element with sublime precision, while Centrofiorii transformed the space into a dreamscape of deep burgundy, rich ivory, and liquid gold. Roses tumbled in romantic abundance beneath the glow of a thousand candles. Victoria, ethereal and breathtaking, spent the morning with her mother and grandmother at the Aman. Her look? Vogue-worthy. e bride wore a couture Monique Lhuillier gown adorned in artisanal lace and hand-sewn beadwork, paired with Manolo Blahnik Mary Janes and custom Diana M Diamonds. Sauro Parrucchiere sculpted her hair into so, sweeping waves, while Lara Navarrini's radiant makeup imbued her with an angelic glow. Michael, the very definition of Italian elegance, wore a custom Veroumo velvet tuxedo with satin lapels, Dolce & Gabbana accents, and hand-craed Italian shoes. As a string quartet played "Mi Sei Scoppiato Dentro Il Cuore" by Annalisa, Victoria walked down the aisle between her parents. e crowd held its breath. Under the opulent frescoes of the palazzo, they exchanged vows that were tender, heartfelt, and cinematic—infused with laughter, tears, and unscripted joy. When their lips met, the room erupted in applause, a collective exhale of awe. e moment was sealed with e Ronettes' "Be My Baby" as the newlyweds made their grand exit. e reception unfolded in the palazzo's grand ballroom, dripping with candlelight and crystal. Peg & Co.'s custom stationery elevated each table setting, while seven opera singers filled the room with soaring arias. e menu, craed with Savour Venice, was a sensory voyage: handmade pastas, delicate seafood, and bold local wines. e finale? A divine dessert table crowned with Italian pastries and in lieu of a traditional cake, a gleaming fruit-topped Crostata. VUE ON | WEDDINGS 84 VUENJ.COM
