Dove Cameron and Damiano David did not exactly do the low-key courthouse wedding. After getting engaged at home in Los Angeles in October 2025, the couple took their love story to Tuscany for a three-day celebration that somehow managed to feel intimate, theatrical and incredibly chic all at once.
The couple chose Castiglion del Bosco, the historic Rosewood resort in the hills outside Montalcino, as the home base for their wedding weekend, with celebrations beginning on Thursday, September 24, exactly three years after their first real date. From there came an Italian civil ceremony, a vineyard welcome dinner and, finally, a ceremony staged among the ruins of a 12th-century castle.
The styling was equally considered. Dove worked with Marc Eram on a wardrobe that moved from Giorgio Armani to Blumarine, Alberta Ferretti, Valentino and Roberto Cavalli, while Damiano collaborated with Michele Potenza on a series of sharply tailored Italian looks.
For couples planning a destination wedding of their own, this is exactly where the details matter. A venue, wardrobe, flowers and schedule all have to work together, which is why having the right wedding team can make the difference between a beautiful idea and a weekend that actually flows. Wedded Concierge can help connect couples with trusted wedding professionals, venues and suppliers suited to their celebration.
But back to Dove and Damiano. Here are 10 details we cannot stop thinking about.
The main ceremony unfolded at the ruins of the original 12th-century castle at Castiglion del Bosco, and honestly, the setting was doing a lot of the work before the décor even arrived.
Ancient stone walls, towering cypress trees and the Tuscan landscape created a dramatic backdrop, while sheer white fabric was draped across the terraces, steps and ceremony space. The result felt almost otherworldly without trying too hard.
White hydrangeas, calla lilies and abundant greenery were arranged along the aisle, bringing softness to the weathered stone. It was romantic, but with just enough darkness and drama to suit this particular couple.
One of the most unexpected details was the seating.
Rather than leaving the curved wooden chairs untouched, each one was wrapped in layers of translucent white fabric. The material fell loosely around the backs and legs, creating an almost ghostly effect as the sunlight passed through it.
Seen across the entire ceremony setup, the chairs looked less like traditional wedding seating and more like part of the installation itself.
It was a clever way to make a huge guest setup feel connected to the rest of the design without relying on elaborate chair florals or heavy decoration.
The Valentino wedding gown was designed around movement, with Dove asking for an ethereal, drapey look that would move as she walked without overwhelming her.
But the veil might have stolen the scene.
Four metres long and embroidered with crystals and micro-beads arranged into star constellations, it was designed to catch the sunlight as Dove walked down the aisle. The celestial motif also nodded to her middle name, Celeste.
And the detail did not stop there. Crystal stars were incorporated into her hair for the after-party, extending the celestial idea beyond the ceremony.
The most personal detail of the entire wedding may have been a phrase that appeared throughout the celebration: “The best part of being alive.”
The words were engraved inside both of their engagement rings and embroidered inside Dove’s Valentino corset. They also became part of the ceremony itself, appearing in the couple’s vows.
The phrase even appeared in the wedding décor, handwritten across a sheer fabric covering a large potted plant.
It is the kind of detail that makes a wedding feel less like a collection of beautiful things and more like a story about two people.
The ceremony flowers stayed within a restrained palette of white and green, but that did not make them understated.
Large arrangements of white hydrangeas and calla lilies were mixed with loose greenery along the aisle. The flowers were allowed to spill outward rather than sitting in perfectly symmetrical arrangements, giving the aisle a more organic quality.
Elsewhere, close-up floral arrangements revealed layers of white blooms, including roses and hydrangea-like clusters, creating a monochromatic garden effect.
Even the calla lilies growing among the tall grasses around the property became part of the visual language of the weekend.
Friday's welcome dinner took the maximalist route.
A long table ran through the vineyards, dressed in wine-red satin linens and layered with silver candelabras, cherub statues and overflowing bunches of red grapes.
It was dramatic without feeling like a generic wedding table. The combination of deep red, silver, candlelight and fruit gave the whole setting a slightly gothic Italian feel.
Damiano reportedly called it “Dove’s dream table,” which feels accurate.
And because this was Tuscany, the food was just as important. Fresh buffalo mozzarella and enormous bowls of paccheri al pomodoro were served to guests, keeping the menu firmly rooted in the setting.
Dove's wedding weekend wardrobe deserves its own article.
For the civil ceremony in Montalcino, she wore a bespoke ivory Giorgio Armani bridal suit with a dramatic floor-length cape. Later that evening, she changed into a playful Blumarine dress for dinner and dancing.
The welcome party brought an Alberta Ferretti suit paired with a white gold and diamond Damiani necklace.
Then came the Valentino ceremony gown, followed by a Roberto Cavalli mini dress covered in beadwork and sequins for the after-party, styled with lace-up socks and Jimmy Choo heels.
Damiano kept pace, wearing an ivory double-breasted Giuliva Heritage suit for the civil ceremony, a Valentino look for the welcome event and a classic Giorgio Armani three-piece suit for the main ceremony.
This was not a one-dress wedding. This was a wardrobe itinerary.
The music was not treated as background noise.
At the civil ceremony, the couple walked down the aisle to a three-string arrangement of Leonard Cohen's “Hallelujah.” For the main ceremony, the live musical atmosphere continued, while the wedding itself was officiated by Kenny Ortega, who directed Dove in the original Descendants trilogy.
The first image of the musicians performing outdoors captures the atmosphere beautifully: a string ensemble surrounded by trees, with warm afternoon light filtering through the branches.
It feels less like a traditional wedding orchestra setup and more like a concert quietly happening in the middle of Tuscany.
If there was one detail that could convince someone to get married in Italy purely for the visuals, it might be this staircase.
A long, rumpled white fabric runner cascaded down an old stone staircase, with rows of candles placed along both sides. As evening fell, the candles transformed the historic pathway into a glowing passage through the gardens.
It is a perfect example of why destination weddings can be so effective visually. Instead of completely transforming the landscape, the design worked with what was already there.
The old stone, trees and winding paths stayed visible. The candles and fabric simply made them feel more cinematic.
After the ceremony, guests gathered in the square of the historic medieval hamlet for a long dinner surrounded by candles and white roses.
There were emotional speeches from Dove's mother and sister, plenty of food and drinks, and a towering cake covered in fresh fruit and flowers, created by Milanese baker Mami Louise.
Then Dove changed into her Roberto Cavalli after-party look and the party moved into a greenhouse on the property for Martini vermouth cocktails and dancing with DJ Nicky Macha.
The wedding did not end when the ceremony was over. It kept changing moods.
And that may be the biggest thing to love about Dove Cameron and Damiano David's wedding. It was not built around one perfect photograph or one big decorative moment. It unfolded like an entire world, moving from medieval ruins to vineyards, from couture to cocktails, from candlelit staircases to a late-night dance floor.
For all the couture, historic architecture and wildly beautiful florals, the most memorable parts of Dove and Damiano's wedding were the details that had meaning behind them.
A veil inspired by Dove's name. A phrase woven into their clothes and rings. A wedding date tied to their first real date. A destination that connected Damiano to his home country. Even the dramatic styling felt intentional rather than simply extravagant.
It was romantic, a little gothic, deeply Italian and very fashion-forward.
Basically, if you're going to get married in Tuscany, this is one way to do it.
