 Cass DiMicco’s wedding was a sophisticated and emotionally charged getaway into the undulating hills of Tuscany, full of style, simplicity, and remarkably intimate details. It was not a show of grandeur. Being a fashion-forward businesswoman with an eye for detail, she was able to plan an event that unfolded beautifully over several days and felt more like a shared memory than a show.

After meeting Matthew Hoyle at Coachella’s infamously wild Neon Carnival in 2017, Cass embarked on a collaboration that would turn out to be immensely flexible—one that combined romance, business, and creativity. By the end of the same year, their lives had become so intertwined that Aureum Collective—a jewelry brand notable for its vintage glamour and modern sophistication—was born.

Even more significant was what transpired after their encounter in the Utah desert at Amangiri: a change from spectacle to intimacy. After international travel was disrupted by the pandemic, the couple decided to change their original plans for a wedding in Marrakech. They greatly decreased stress and improved the genuineness of their celebration by embracing change instead of fighting it. Embracing intimate celebrations often creates the most meaningful memories, and the right decor can transform any space into something magical.

The planning was both bold and logistically difficult because the new venue, Castello Di Vicarello in Tuscany, was reserved without an in-person visit. However, the risks were worthwhile for Cass and Matt. The venue, which was surrounded by olive groves and offered expansive views, provided subtle elegance that was ideal for their vision. With its organic textures and rustic charm, the location provided a very clear background that needed minimal adornment.

The wedding week was not limited to a single city or day. It was intended to be a journey through Italy, starting in Rome and ending in Florence, Tuscany, and Venice. This lengthy schedule was a particularly creative approach to reinterpret the contemporary wedding narrative as a journey that permitted love, connection, and celebration to develop organically rather than as a static day of stress.

Deliberate contrast was used to curate her bridal looks, which were anticipated by followers on social media. Cass selected a white-and-blue feathered set from Valentino’s Fall 2020 collection for the welcome dinner. It avoided clichés while maintaining an unmistakably bridal vibe, feeling both playful and elevated. In order to seamlessly and incredibly effectively tie her personal brand into her story, she accessorized with Aureum Collective chain necklace and wide gold hoops.

She chose a bolder silhouette for the rehearsal dinner, wearing a black-and-white Celine dress with oversized ruffles and Jimmy Choo platforms with pearl accents. The selection emphasized Cass’s conviction that bridal attire could be expressive, playful, and still incredibly clear in tone by striking a tone that was equal parts edgy and romantic. Every evening had a unique vibe, reinforced by carefully chosen styling that seemed both natural and deliberate.

One of the simplest choices was what to eat, which is frequently a cause of wedding-day stress. They chose a full truffle menu for the rehearsal dinner, which was especially advantageous for guests who valued both luxury and location. Heartfelt remarks from their mothers and Matt’s sisters during the meal provided warmth and significance, highlighting the intimate and intimate nature of the occasion.

Cass reverted to classic elegance on the wedding day. In order to focus the event on love and connection rather than over-the-top styling, she chose a simple gown with a delicate pearl veil. It was a very grounded look, intimate without being overly casual, and polished without being performative.

The couple’s unexpected visitor, the estate’s dog, Uva, may have had one of the most heartwarming moments. Cass revealed that when she and Matt were missing their own dog, Pepperoni, Uva, whose name appropriately translates to “grape” in Italian, provided unexpected solace. An already emotionally complex experience gained authenticity from these spontaneous components.

Later, Cass revealed that her one regret was not using her phone to record more behind-the-scenes footage. She underlined how important those unpolished, unrefined footage can be in maintaining the day’s emotional undertone, even though the expert photography was breathtaking. This advice, which encourages future couples to record more intimately, is particularly pertinent in a time when authenticity is frequently overshadowed by carefully chosen content.

Cass DiMicco’s strategy represented a significant change in the context of digital influence and the expanding trend toward destination weddings. She adopted presence, which is far more resilient, in place of mass spectacle. Her choice to simplify, concentrate on herself, and spread the celebration over several significant venues provides a positive model for those organizing contemporary weddings.

The occasion also demonstrated how well-chosen fashion can tell a story instead of just being a decorative element. Cass developed a visual arc that relied on truth rather than trend by approaching each ensemble as an extension of the scene, the time of year, and her changing mood. Her appearances were especially memorable because they were intended to reflect and enhance rather than to shock or provoke. Creating visual narratives that enhance rather than overshadow your love story is at the heart of exceptional wedding design.
