In a celebration that epitomized romance and elegance, "Gossip Girl" star Ed Westwick and actress Amy Jackson tied the knot in a breathtaking three-day wedding on Italy's Amalfi Coast. The festivities, held from August 23 to 25, 2024, combined timeless charm with modern sophistication, creating an unforgettable experience for the couple and their guests.
A Sunset Cruise to Begin the Celebrations
The wedding weekend commenced with a sunset cruise aboard the Motonave Patrizia on August 23. Sailing along the picturesque coastline of Ravello, Positano, and Sorrento, the couple and their guests anchored at Capri to enjoy a dip in the sea as the sun set behind the iconic Faraglioni rocks. The cruise featured blue-and-white décor and live Italian music, capturing the nostalgic glamour of Capri's golden era.
A Fairytale Ceremony at Castello Di Rocca Cilento
On August 24, the couple exchanged vows at the historic Castello Di Rocca Cilento, nestled in the hills with stunning views of the sea. Amy Jackson walked down the aisle in a custom Alberta Ferretti gown made from light and airy mikado fabric, complemented by a 15-foot hand-embroidered veil that brought her to tears upon first sight. Ed Westwick looked dapper in a white Giorgio Armani tuxedo jacket paired with black pants.
A Star-Studded Guest List
The couple hosted approximately 220 guests from the U.S., India, and various parts of Europe. Notable attendees included Westwick's former "Gossip Girl" co-star Kelly Rutherford, model and actress Daisy Lowe, comedian and actor Jack Whitehall and his partner Roxy Horner, film producer Mohammed Al Turki, and cosmetics mogul Dr. Barbara Sturm.
A Reception to Remember
Following the ceremony, the reception featured a multi-course Italian meal and a five-tier cake. Amy Jackson changed into a custom Pronovias Atelier gown for the reception, which took 105 hours to make. The dress featured a glamorous, sinuous silhouette with sheer off-the-shoulder sleeves and a subtle train made of silk chiffon. The gloves and corset were entirely hand-embroidered with bicolored crystals, adding a touch of light and magic to the ensemble.
A Journey of Love
Ed Westwick and Amy Jackson's love story began in 2021 during a race day with Aston Martin at Silverstone racetrack. After two years together, they got engaged in January 2024 in the Swiss Alps. Their wedding on the Amalfi Coast was a testament to their shared love for timeless romance and vintage charm, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
