TikTok star Rebecca Ma, known to millions as Becca Bloom, brought her modern-day fairytale to life when she married software engineer David Pownall at the legendary Villa Balbiano on Lake Como. The celebration wasn’t just about romance, luxury, and Italian charm, it was a love letter to flowers. Every moment of the multi-day event was infused with vibrant blossoms that reflected the couple’s style and the breathtaking garden surroundings.

A Rehearsal Dinner in Full Colour

The festivities began with a rehearsal dinner that set the tone for the weekend. The evening was awash in pinks, coral, and fresh greens, with an abundance of hydrangeas, roses, and dahlias spilling across long tables and entryways. The palette gave the lakeside villa a playful yet deeply romantic atmosphere, perfectly suiting the intimate gathering of family and close friends.

Wisteria and Hydrangeas for “I Do”

For the ceremony itself, Becca and David tied the knot beneath a spectacular arch draped with cascading white and purple wisteria. Guests were surrounded by a garden-like scene of blue and white hydrangeas paired with roses, creating a timeless, almost ethereal setting. The flowers seemed to mirror the rippling waters of Lake Como, blending the natural beauty of the landscape with the artistry of floral design.

A Reception of Blush and Bloom

As the sun set, guests moved into the reception where the tables told their own floral story. Roses, peonies, and dahlias filled the room in shades ranging from soft blush to rich mid-pink, creating a cohesive yet layered effect. The mix of textures and tones gave the grand villa a softness, making the opulent setting feel intimate and inviting. Every table became a living artwork, blending classic elegance with contemporary romance.

The Bride’s Petal-Inspired Gowns

The floral theme reached its peak with Becca’s gown. Designed by Oscar de la Renta, her wedding dress was inspired by the delicate structure of a peony, with layered petals of fabric cascading down the skirt. The dress not only complemented the floral styling of the day but also embodied the bride’s own name and brand, Becca Bloom, tying her love of flowers into every element of the celebration.
