The Venue
Giovana and Justin’s Hamptons wedding design embodied exactly who they are as people and as a couple: refined and elegant, yet equally sweet, playful, and fun. Taking place on the grand front lawn of the Topping Rose House in Bridgehampton, New York, the venue felt like a true reflection of their style. Having met out east through mutual friends when they organized a share house in 2020, the Hamptons hold a special meaning for the couple.
With it’s timeless setting and exceptional food, the venue was simply modern yet classic, and relaxed yet effortlessly elevated. It created the perfect backdrop for a celebration that felt like an intimate evening spent with close friends and family.
The Invitation Suite
From the very start, thoughtful design details set the tone for the weekend. The couple’s invitation suite introduced subtle green and white stripes, an element inspired by The Beverly Hills Hotel. This pattern carried through to the escort cards and cocktail menus, creating a cohesive look and feel throughout this entire Hamptons wedding.
The Bride
For the big day, Giovana wore a stunning custom Suzanne Neville Maisie gown from Wedding Atelier NYC. To make the look even more personalized, she customized the corset and adding buttons down the length of the dress.
The Groom
Justin’s look complemented Giovana’s dress in the most perfect way. He wore a custom Martin Greenfield tux featuring a tennis racket lining as a nod to the Hamptons. Together, both of their looks balanced modern sophistication with personal details that reflected their love story.
The Ceremony
The ceremony design for this Hamptons wedding was romantic and intimate, yet intentionally simple. It carried an effortlessly elevated yet relaxed feeling, another true reflection of who Giovana and Justin are as a couple.
To make the moment even more special, the ceremony was officiated by one of Giovana’s best friends, who was also Justin’s roommate on the infamous 2020 Montauk trip. After the couple exchanged their vows, guests rang little bells in celebration, filling the air with the sound of over 100 bells ringing at once.
The Cocktail Hour
Taking inspiration for their love of The Beverly Hills Hotel, their poolside cocktail hour incorporated nods to the iconic green and white stripes. These elements are seen on the escort cards and cocktail menus, and complemented the large glowing orbs that adorned the pool, creating a fun oasis for guests to enjoy cocktails to kick-off the night ahead.
The Reception
The reception was intended to be formal yet intimate and inviting, and from the very early stage of the wedding planning, the couple was drawn to a predominantly black and white color palette. Stripes continued into the tablescape through the chargers and tablecloths, bringing in a subtle art deco influence. Cane chair backs and velvet touches added depth and texture, while delicate florals, table lamps, and candlelight created a warm, romantic ambiance.
Special details included a champagne tower, chocolate from Kah-Kow USA made with cacao from Giovana’s family’s province in the Dominican Republic, and rainbow cookies from Fortunato Brothers in Brooklyn as a nod to Justin’s Italian heritage.
The After Party
Following dinner, the energy of the evening carried into the barn, departing from the formal look and feel, and becoming solely focused on the party. The ceiling was adorned with greenery, silver orbs, and disco balls of all sizes, setting the tone for a night of nonstop celebration. With a hybrid DJ setup, live instruments, LED lights, and a photo booth, the after party felt like a joyful juxtaposition to the elegant black-tie dinner.
As the night continued, Giovana changed into a showstopping Cult Gaia gown, perfectly matching the energy of the evening as guests filled the dance floor. Friends showered Giovana and Justin with money guns shooting out bills featuring their faces – a lighthearted callback to a long-running inside joke from Justin’s bachelor pad days. The celebration carried on in a relaxed yet elevated way, surrounded by the people closest to them, and ended the night on the highest note.
Giovana and Justin’s Hamptons wedding was a perfect balance of elegance, personality, and joyful celebration, reflecting their story in every detail. From the intimate ceremony to the lively after party, the day was filled with moments that were personal, playful, and unforgettable.
