Photo: Sergio Sandona1/58Happy Menocal did our invitations, my favorite part being our two dogs featured on the reply card!
Photo: Sergio Sandona2/58A great shot of Masseria Cimino, an 18th-century farmhouse converted into a hotel, where some of our guests stayed.
Photo: Sergio Sandona3/58The unique chimneys of the Borgo. Every rooftop is accessible, so we would go up top for this view every time we got the chance.
Photo: Sergio Sandona4/58They say part of the experience is getting lost, and you can see why it’s not that bad in this photo! Two of my best friends and I played Marco Polo to find each other on the first day they arrived.
Photo: Sergio Sandona5/58The setup in the piazza for Thursday’s welcome. Local merchants and chefs surrounded the tables, making things like fresh orecchiette and mozzarella—two things the region is famous for.
Photo: Sergio Sandona6/58Pure happiness! This was taken right before we walked out to the piazza to greet all our friends and family.
Photo: Sergio Sandona7/58Fresh rosemary, lavender, sage, and tomatoes stretched down each table.
Photo: Sergio Sandona8/58One of the local merchants pinned a small straw bride doll to my dress, and another made me a traditional Apulian crown of leaves.
Photo: Sergio Sandona9/58Smiling with my father-in-law, Andrew, at the beginning of the evening. The attire was festive Italian, so I wore a white Dolce & Gabbana dress, with my favorite huge vintage clip-on earrings.
Photo: Sergio Sandona10/58Local band Terraross played Puglian folk music and had us dancing for hours. Here I am trying to pretend I can dance.
Photo: Sergio Sandona11/58Happy Menocal also designed these beautiful crescent-moon menus for Friday’s rehearsal dinner. They turned out even better than I had imagined, and coincidentally, the moon also looked exactly the same in the sky that night.
Photo: Sergio Sandona12/58The rehearsal dinner table of my dreams. Lisa worked with Tearose of Milan on the flowers, and she found these delicate ocean-inspired vases for the all-blue arrangements. I love the crystals and coral interspersed throughout.
Photo: Sergio Sandona13/58The restaurant is right by the sea, and we did these lounge beds for people to sit before and during cocktails. It was so windy that we couldn’t light the fires, but it all died down for dancing later on.
Photo: Sergio Sandona14/58Sitting with Jake on our picnic-style floor cushions during cocktails. I have lots of little baby hairs around my face, so I needed a windproof hairstyle for the night—I loved these braids so much.
Photo: Sergio Sandona15/58I wore a Giambattista Valli dress with a delicate floral print and long, flow-y pleats.
Photo: Sergio Sandona16/58Jake; Russell Simmons, whom he works with; and Jake’s brother, Ben.
Photo: Sergio Sandona17/58My mother-in-law, Lynn, surprised us the most that night when she sang us a parody of the “What Comes Next?” song from Hamilton, which earned her a standing ovation from the entire room. In the song, she threatened to kidnap our future children if we didn’t come visit more—it was incredible.

Photo: Sergio Sandona19/58With two of my best friends, Milena Lurie and Isaac Flanagan. Their respective roasts of us had us in tears. I am actually still laughing.
Photo: Sergio Sandona20/58I love the shock on Jake’s face while opening his present on the morning of our wedding. I am so bad at surprises; it was really hard for me to keep my mouth shut, but so worth it.
Photo: Sergio Sandona21/58One of the stunning villas at Borgo Egnazia. We were so lucky to get ready and relax that day somewhere this perfect.
Photo: Sergio Sandona22/58I fell in love with this Reem Acra dress from a photo of it on the runway. The bottom of the dress is pink when it’s on the hanger, but when it’s on the body, it just looks like a soft white.
Photo: Sergio Sandona23/58Lots of baby’s breath in my hair! I loved every second of getting ready that day. It is a feeling I will never forget.
Photo: Sergio Sandona24/58I have never taken longer to do my makeup. I wanted to do it myself all weekend so that I felt natural, but I was so nervous I would mess it up.
Photo: Sergio Sandona25/58Some of the bridesmaid dresses hanging together. I wanted them to all wear different white dresses with similar soft and feminine lines.
Photo: Sergio Sandona26/58This is right after my sister, Liz, zipped up my dress. We both couldn’t stop crying or laughing all day.
Photo: Sergio Sandona27/58Putting on my earrings!
Photo: Sergio Sandona28/58I got ready with my bridesmaids for most of the day, but they had to leave to get their hair done before I finished getting dressed. This was the first moment two of my bridesmaids, Molly Berman and Ariana Sanudo-Kretzmann, saw me with my dress on.
Photo: Sergio Sandona29/58Feeling so incredibly happy just before I left the villa to see Jake for the first time that day.
Photo: Sergio Sandona30/58I love these blue doors all throughout Puglia. I kept calling it Puglian blue to Lisa, and we used the color as a theme throughout the weekend.
Photo: Sergio Sandona31/58I snuck up behind him while he was waiting for me in the piazza. This was the first moment we saw each other before the ceremony.
Photo: Sergio Sandona32/58The intricate lace back of my dress.
Photo: Sergio Sandona33/58I wanted a very long veil because my dress did not have a train, and I had to keep it from blowing off my head because it was so windy that day!
Photo: Sergio Sandona34/58With the best dad there is.
Photo: Sergio Sandona35/58I love my sister’s simple slip dress next to mine.
Photo: Sergio Sandona36/58We both feel so lucky to have families that get along so well. I love this shot of us with his mother and my father.
Photo: Sergio Sandona37/58Walking through the Borgo together before the ceremony. I wanted to do a first look so we could spend time, just the two of us, before it all started.
Photo: Sergio Sandona38/58All my bridesmaids and my two nieces, the perfect flower girls.
Photo: Sergio Sandona39/58Jake and all of his groomsmen, looking dapper.

Photo: Sergio Sandona41/58A mix of neutral, white, and deep blush flowers in our chuppah.
Photo: Sergio Sandona42/58I love the entrance to our ceremony spot. I was nervous about the wind, but my dad knew it would be the perfect place. He was so right.
Photo: Sergio Sandona43/58Flowers draped the backs of the chairs leading up the aisle.
Photo: Sergio Sandona44/58My dad and me, taking the first step down the aisle together.
Photo: Sergio Sandona45/58It was so surreal seeing Jake standing up there.
Photo: Sergio Sandona46/58This is either one of the many times I was wiping tears from eyes, or the exact moment a fly flew into my eye during the ceremony.
Photo: Sergio Sandona47/58The ceremony was perfect. Jake kept instinctively trying to kiss me before the whole “you may kiss the bride.” It was really funny. Then he asked the rabbi if he could hold my hand.
Photo: Sergio Sandona48/58Officially husband and wife! The happiest moment of my entire life.
Photo: Sergio Sandona49/58We walked back down the aisle to Father John Misty’s “Real Love Baby” while our friends and family threw rose petals.
Photo: Sergio Sandona50/58A rare photo of Jake with his wedding ring on before a monkey stole it on our honeymoon.
Photo: Sergio Sandona51/58Our reception table. I love dahlias and lots of small interesting flowers mixed together.
Photo: Sergio Sandona52/58Lisa found these beautiful vases that doubled as name card holders.

Photo: Sergio Sandona55/58A kiss before cutting the cake!
Photo: Sergio Sandona56/58A surprise fireworks display that my dad arranged, above where we danced all night by the beach.
Photo: Sergio Sandona57/58We handed out these masks at the entrance to the party for all the guests to wear.
Photo: Sergio Sandona58/58I changed into a custom sequined jumpsuit, and we all danced until sunrise.
