A New York Bride on the Amalfi Coast

There is something magical about an Amalfi Coast wedding.

And when a New York bride arrives in Amalfi with a look that is completely her own, the result can be unforgettable.

Her wedding dress was beautifully simple, with clean lines and an unexpected asymmetrical silhouette. Nothing overly decorated or traditional — just a wonderfully original shape that felt very much like her.

And somehow, the pillbox hat was the perfect finishing touch.

The whole look had that rare quality of being both sophisticated and completely individual. The hat, the dress, the sunglasses, the shoes and the Valentino clutch all worked together without looking overly styled.

She wore Dries Van Noten sunglasses and shoes, a Valentino clutch, and beautiful earrings by Atalante Fine Jewelry.

And as she wrote in her own Instagram post:

“A little bit of Dolce Vita in Amalfi.”

Looking at these photographs, I think she captured the feeling perfectly.

A New York girl, a wedding on the Amalfi Coast, beautiful Italian sunshine — and a pillbox hat along for the journey.

Sometimes the most memorable style is not about adding more.

It is about choosing a few beautiful things that feel completely, unmistakably you.

The pillbox hat featured in this story is available in my collection.
