A Modern Romance in Black Elegance: Tiffany & Michael’s Wedding at Masseria Salamina

Love Story

Tiffany and Michael's journey together spans over 20 countries—a testament to their shared wanderlust and deep connection. But it was in the crystalline beauty of Jackson Hole, Wyoming,where their story reached its most magical moment.

At Amangani Resort, surrounded by snowcapped peaks that seemed to touch the sky, Michael orchestrated a surprise that would change everything. He had arranged a photoshoot and makeup artist, and though Tiffany had an inkling something special might happen, knowing didn't prepare her for the reality. "The stillness, the view, the feeling—it was pure magic," she recalls. "The kind that changes you in an instant."
There, against one of nature's most breathtaking backdrops, he proposed. It was the perfect crescendo to a love story written across continents and deepened by countless shared adventures.

About Your Wedding

Tiffany and Michael wanted a wedding that broke from tradition. After a year of thoughtful planning, they brought 100 loved ones to Masseria Salamina in Fasano, Puglia, on October 17, 2024, for a celebration that was entirely, unapologetically them.

"The theme of our wedding was black, a color we chose for its elegance, depth, and symbolic meaning," Tiffany explains. "We wanted something different from the traditional white — something that reflected our personal style: sophisticated, modern, and a bit mysterious."

This wasn't just a color choice; it was a philosophy. Every detail, from the carefully selected florals to meticulously arranged table settings, followed this concept with dark tones, golden accents, and soft lighting. The result? “It was an unconventional wedding, but it suited us perfectly.”

About Morning details

Bride Getting Ready

Tiffany's journey to her wedding dress was as serendipitous as her proposal. Designer Ines Di Santo created both of her gowns—and the story of finding "the one" is pure romance. "I actually tried on only three dresses before slipping into the one," she shares. "It was such a serendipitous moment—I hadn't planned on finding my dress that day. My mom and cousins came along to 'look,' but when I saw myself in that gown, surrounded by them, it felt like time paused. I just knew." That certainty, that immediate recognition of rightness, perfectly captured the essence of Tiffany and Michael's entire wedding philosophy.

The bride's final look was a masterpiece of intentional details. A dramatic 20-foot veil floated behind her like a whisper of dreams. Elegant gloves added a touch of old-world glamour, while a custom scarf—crafted from leftover fabric during alterations—provided a second, softer silhouette later in the evening. "Every piece felt intentional," Tiffany reflects, "a whisper of modern romance woven into timeless elegance."

Her bridesmaids, too, were given the freedom to shine. Each woman wore a black gown from the designer that made her feel most confident. "I wanted every woman beside me to shine in her own light," Tiffany explains. "Individual yet unified, just like our friendships."

Reception

As evening fell, the celebration reached its crescendo. The couple chose "Whenever You Call" by Brian McKnight & Mariah Carey for their first dance—a song that perfectly captured their modern romance. “But in true us fashion, we never stopped for the first dance - we were too busy twirling across the dance floor with everyone we love," Tiffany laughs. "Our night was one long first dance."

As the night progressed, guests dined, danced, and celebrated a couple who had dared to do things their way—who had chosen black over white, tradition over convention, and created something altogether their own.
