A Tuscan fairytale come to life. 🇮🇹✨ Our CCL Europe team brought magic to Villa Gamberaia, one of Florence’s most enchanting villas. Every detail captured the essence of a sun-drenched Tuscan summer—fragrant, bright, and full of joy.

For the welcome dinner, guests dined al fresco under glowing bulbs and lemon-dotted greenery, surrounded by blue hydrangeas and wild herbs. The next day, vows unfolded in the villa’s historic gardens, followed by a reception of soft blush, peach, and ivory tones with lush arrangements of pastel blooms.

Dating back to the early 1600s, Villa Gamberaia is one of Tuscany’s finest villas, famed for its formal gardens, terraces, and reflective pools, which have enchanted noble families, diplomats, and artists for centuries.

✨ Contemporary Southern dreams in New Orleans ✨

Our bride was married at her childhood home in New Orleans wearing a breathtaking Vivienne Westwood gown. The ceremony featured a white lacquered aisle lined with towering blown-out roses and cascading orchids beneath lime-washed arches. After saying “I do,” the couple led a boisterous second line parade through the streets with a brass band – a true New Orleans celebration. ✨

Guests dined on grilled oysters, caviar deviled eggs, and Louisiana crab cakes beneath 50 glittering chandeliers in a custom-built glass tent overflowing with orchids, hydrangeas, and greenery. The night ended with glittering makeup makeovers, a neon-lit after-party, and the groom backflipping into the pool. Pure Southern magic. 🤍🪩🌿

Talk about painting the town red. 💃 For their spectacular Valentine’s wedding, Jimmy Iovine and Liberty Ross threw out the rulebook. Female guests wore red – even Oprah – while Liberty stunned in a black lace vintage Givenchy Haute Couture gown with a couture crown by Stephen Jones. 🖤 Jimmy wore a navy velvet Tom Ford tux. Their wedding celebration at David Geffen’s Beverly Hills estate featured performances by Lady Gaga, Tony Bennett, Mary J. Blige, and Swizz Beatz.

I remember a very special moment when Mary J Blige sang “When a Man Loves a Woman” for Liberty’s entrance as she walked down the aisle in a pool of dramatic light. Another special moment happened during the dinner when Tony Bennett was singing and was joined onstage for a duet with Lady Gaga.

✨💍 It’s Wedding Season and there’s no place more magical to say “I Do” than the Hamptons!

✨An ode to the desert, sculptural landscapes and bohemian elegance set the stage for this Amangiri wedding. 🏜️ Against the stunning backdrop of craggy canyons and the golden glow of magic hour, we created a ceremony defined by refined contrasts: rose-gold upholstered barrel chairs, a pampas-lined aisle, and deconstructed teepee adorned with dried florals.

The bride wore a tassel-tiered Naeem Khan gown that swayed with the breeze, while the groom embodied sophistication in a cream-colored tuxedo. The guests, all in white, dined under glowing orb lights at one long, love-filled table, surrounded by roses, Himalayan salt candles, and raw, natural textures. 🌾

During dinner, we transformed the ceremony space into an intimate desert nightclub — where guests danced for hours. A wedding that could only happen at Amangiri. ✨

For five years, I have been consulting on the incredible @cloud39hk glass penthouse ballroom project @thehenderson_hk, which is finally opening on March 27. Last week I flew to Hong Kong for production meetings, and experiencing this architectural masterpiece in person was mind-blowing. Every inch of this magnificent building is an iconic example of the legacy of Zaha Hadid and her architectural firm. After two productive days collaborating with the Henderson’s teams, we’re even more excited for an epic opening event. Stay tuned for more updates and behind-the-scenes peeks as we approach the big launch. Hong Kong, get ready for something truly unforgettable.

We pulled off the ultimate surprise with Oprah to celebrate our dear friend Gayle King’s 70th birthday! Gayle was genuinely shocked when she walked into her favorite restaurant Ci Siamo in New York City and saw so many of her friends and family gathered for this special milestone celebration. We created a vintage motif in gold, yellow, and orange which threaded its way through the décor, dancefloor, cushions, and even the cake. Plus, custom cutout caricatures of Gayle graced all the food stations. It was an evening of love, fashion, gourmet food, and endless cocktails hosted by the ultimate BFF, Oprah! And, of course, we danced all night to the fabulous music of DJ Suss. Happy Birthday, Gayle!
