23rd Jul 2024

Sun-soaked and devastatingly chic, Amber Jean Rowan and Benjamin Prevezer's Italian island wedding was like a glimpse into paradise.

THE COUPLE

Benjamin Prevezer — CEO and founder of Mason & Fifth

Amber Jean Rowan — Model and founder of Amber Jean

THEY LIVE
in London.

THE VENUE
A beautiful villa we found on AirBnB in Ischia, our favourite spot we have been going to for seven years, The Villa Gancia.

PHOTOGRAPHY

Louise Golding, Destination Wedding Photographer.

THEY MET
In London on the street before walking into a bar.

THE PROPOSAL

Ben proposed to me on a trip of a lifetime travelling in an RV around Arizona USA.

THE DRESS AND THE SUIT

My dress was Vivienne Westwood. Ben had his suit made just for him.

THE CEREMONY

Was one that beautifully mixed both our cultures together.

THE ENTERTAINMENT

An amazing Italian band, Ars Nova Napoli. My talented cousins Holly and Greg were singing Irish songs throughout the night, and there was even a surprise Irish dance.

THE RECEPTION
Was full of delicious Italian food and our favourite cocktails looking over the villa’s cactus field and ocean.

THE DECOR
Rustic Italian chic.

 

THEIR TOP TIPS

Only have the people you adore at your wedding. Breathe deep and take it all in. Have moments with just you and your husband throughout the night.

THEY WISH THEY HAD

Nothing — it was perfect.

THEIR BEST MOMENTS

There were too many to choose from… The whole two weeks were surreal.

THE FIRST DANCE SONG
That’s just for us!
