Chiara Clemente and Tyler Thompson's Wedding on the Amalfi Coast
Photo: Emanuele Anastasio1/14The Amalfi Coast is where my mom s family is from and where I ve spent every summer since I was born. It s the place, besides New York, that s really been my second home through my whole life. We kept the wedding really intimate, inviting only our closest family and friends. It was exciting to have all of these good friends of ours come to a place that s been such a big part of my life and become part of Tyler s as well.

She has a beautiful bridal collection, but I actually ended up choosing one of her beautiful white silk collection pieces with all of these embroidered flowers.
