admin Beyond the fashion, the bride and groom’s family and industry friends offered their services on the entertainment front, too. The couple’s son, Raymond, was “contemplating a bubble gun”, while a rendition of “Love Me Tender” by the father of the bride, who wore a purple Gresham Blake suit to walk his daughter down the aisle, was included on the order of service. “Elvis Presley was my first love,” Jaime explains. “My beautiful sisters have written poems to read, and we’ve also got an amazing traditional Sicilian band that has played at every ceremony we’ve had here, including our son’s christening. And hopefully, Bobby Gillespie will get his tambourine out…”
The many DJs in the congregation—including Princess Julia, Chloé Caillet, Itchy Rich, Blunt Shank, and Damian Lazarus—were tasked with keeping the celebrations going into the night at the post-ceremony “cave rave,” with Jaime changing into her Annie Doble party dress and a Mia Farrow-inspired headdress, sourced by hairstylist Eamonn Hughes and designed by Ashish. “I love a headpiece! And my party dress is stunning, so fun to dance in—with wings so that I can float around as a new goddess wifey.” The couple’s friend, designer Martine Rose, provided the groom’s party look, and sneaker maker Benji Blunt and Adidas consultant Gary Aspden collaborated on one final pair of shoes for Jaime: bespoke bridal Sambas, “for when things get really serious on the dancefloor.”
“I’ve had to pinch myself many, many times,” Jaime says of watching her vision for her wedding come to life, and in such a special place. “There’s something about Sicily, the volcanic land, the energy… it’s basically a giant crystal,” she adds, explaining why she and James chose to make the beauty of the island and the elements central to their celebrations. “Tonnara di Scopello is so rustic and real, it doesn’t need any additional decoration. It’s about love at the end of the day.”
