Tying the knot at a cliffside villa on the Amalfi Coast…

Handbag designer Brittany Powers + tech executive Grant collaborated with event designer Joy Proctor Design and planners from The Wedding Boutique Italy to create a dreamy and timelessl day full of ivory and blush florals at Villa Cimbrone, a UNESCO World Heritage site in the small Italian town of Ravello.
