Dove Cameron and Damiano David's Tuscan Wedding Extravaganza

Musicians Dove Cameron and Damiano David recently exchanged vows in a breathtaking Tuscan ceremony, marking the culmination of a unique love story that began with a serendipitous meeting at the MTV Video Music Awards. Their journey from a chance encounter to a lavish three-day celebration in Italy is a testament to their deep connection, filled with intimate moments, bespoke fashion, and memorable festivities. The couple, who split their time between Los Angeles and Rome, meticulously planned every detail to create a romantic and joyful occasion for their family and friends.

Their initial interaction at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards was brief, with Damiano, lead singer of the Italian rock band Måneskin, offering a quick congratulations to Dove on her Best New Artist win. It wasn't until the following year's awards, after both found themselves single, that their paths truly converged. Damiano's renewed interest led to an invitation to a Måneskin concert at Madison Square Garden and a subsequent after-party, igniting a whirlwind romance. In October 2025, just over two years later, Damiano proposed to Dove in a private and meaningful moment at their Los Angeles home.

For their dream wedding, the couple chose Tuscany, a region deeply significant to Damiano, as the perfect backdrop. Working with planner Alessandra Grillo, they focused on creating an event that was both romantic and celebratory. The primary venue for their weekend-long festivities was Castiglion del Bosco, a historic Rosewood resort nestled in the Montalcino hills. Dove described the planning process as overwhelming but rewarding, emphasizing their dedication to every detail, from floral arrangements to invitations and the overall flow of the weekend.

Dove, known for her distinctive gothic-influenced style, collaborated with her stylist Marc Eram to curate an all-Italian wedding wardrobe. For the civil ceremony in Montalcino, she wore a custom Giorgio Armani bridal suit featuring a dramatic cape. Later, at the dinner back at Castiglion del Bosco, she changed into a playful Blumarine dress perfect for dancing. Her welcome party attire included an Alberta Ferretti suit accessorized with a Damiani necklace, and for the after-party, she sparkled in a beaded and sequined mini dress by Fausto Puglisi for Roberto Cavalli.

The centerpiece of the celebrations was the main ceremony on Saturday, held at the historic 12th-century castle ruins at Castiglion del Bosco. Dove's choice for her main gown was a custom Valentino creation by creative director Alessandro Michele. She envisioned an ethereal, flowing design with movement, and her four-meter-long veil, intricately embroidered with crystals and micro-beads forming star constellations, paid homage to her middle name, Celeste. Her hair, styled by Jacob Rozenberg, was adorned with crystal stars for the after-party, and her refined beauty look was crafted by makeup artist Kale Teter.

Damiano also meticulously planned his wedding looks with his long-time stylist Michele Potenza. He opted for a double-breasted ivory suit from Roman tailoring house Giuliva Heritage for the civil ceremony and a Valentino by Alessandro Michele ensemble of a cream jacket, navy pants, and a burgundy foulard for the welcome ceremony. For the main ceremony, a classic Giorgio Armani three-piece suit, complete with Bvlgari high-jewelry brooch and cufflinks, and an Audemars Piguet watch, was his undeniable choice.

The wedding festivities commenced on Thursday, September 24, precisely three years after their first official date. The intimate civil ceremony in Montalcino, attended by close family and friends, saw them arrive in a vintage white Lancia convertible and walk down the aisle of the Palazzo dei Priori to a three-string rendition of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah." Following the ceremony, guests enjoyed a risotto dinner and danced into the night in the resort's atmospheric secret cellar.

Friday's welcome dinner featured a breathtaking long table set amidst the vineyards, adorned with wine-red satin linens, cherub statues, silver candelabras, and overflowing red grapes. This gothic, romantic vision, which Damiano described as "Dove's dream table," served as the setting for a feast of fresh buffalo mozzarella and paccheri al pomodoro.

The climax of the weekend was Saturday's main ceremony. Alessandra Grillo and her team transformed the 12th-century castle ruins with cascading sheer white fabric, green foliage, white hydrangeas, and calla lilies. With Damiano's Måneskin bandmates among the guests, Dove walked down the aisle with her mother, Bonnie, to meet an emotional Damiano. Kenny Ortega, who directed Dove in the Descendants films, officiated the ceremony. The couple exchanged vows that included their recurring phrase, "The best part of being alive," which is also engraved in their engagement rings and embroidered into Dove's Valentino corset. Dove described the moment as one of "true presence and joy," wishing it could have lasted forever.

Afterwards, guests gathered in the town square of the medieval hamlet, where candlelit tables laden with white roses were set for dinner. Emotional speeches from the bride's mother and sister moved many to tears, followed by the cutting of a magnificent cake by Milanese baker Mami Louise. The evening concluded with Dove changing into her Roberto Cavalli after-party dress, paired with lace-up socks and Jimmy Choo heels, for Martini vermouth cocktails and dancing late into the night with DJ Nicky Macha.

The union of Dove Cameron and Damiano David, celebrated over a magical three-day period in Tuscany, culminated in a truly unforgettable experience. From their initial encounter at an awards ceremony to their heartfelt vows, every aspect of their wedding reflected their unique style and deep affection for one another. The carefully chosen venues, bespoke fashion, and intimate moments shared with loved ones created a celebration filled with joy, romance, and lasting memories for the happy couple.
