A look inside beauty entrepreneur Irene Forte’s Sicilian wedding—an elegant, artisanal affair.
Writer Gabriel García Márquez said, “Going to Sicily is better than going to the moon,” and for Irene Forte, founder of her eponymous skin-care line, and tech entrepreneur Felix Winckler , it was the only place to marry. The destination magically combined both familiarity and discovery for the couple, who has vacationed there since they met four years ago.
Conversations about the dress started just before the pandemic with family friend Luisa Beccaria. “We spoke breathily about this wedding, then Irene came to Milan to our atelier in late spring,” says the designer. The bride fell for a floral-print organdy fil coupe in pinks and red. “Irene loved the print in the original dress, so we decided to reprint this organdy in the shades of white on white but leaving the leaves in the green.
The flowers for the church and tables were picked with symbolism in mind, including myrtle , eucalyptus leaf , olive branch , larkspur , clematis , and anemone . “Myrtle flowers have been used for centuries in wreaths during Roman festivals honoring Venus and Minerva,” says Sebastian, who also mixed in fennel, which was prized by the ancients. They believed it to give courage to the warriors prior to battle.
