dress for the intimate ceremony for just a handful of guests, which was followed by a black-tie dinner at the St. Regis on the Grand Canal—a meaningful choice, given it was the scene of Cristian’s proposal. “We had returned to our suite after a Vivaldi concert, and Cristian had filled the room with red roses and romantic handwritten notes,” the bride recalls. “It was a complete surprise and utterly perfect.
Annastasia, who was previously global CEO of the luxury concierge service Quintessentially, took full advantage of having two ceremonies when it came to planning her wedding looks. “I love fashion,” she enthuses, adding that “chic and elegant” was the aim, as well as dresses befitting the “dream views and majesty of Venice”. “I knew I could be more playful with the first dress, and then definitely wanted to be more traditional—with a long veil—for the church service.
This level of attention to detail informed every aspect of Annastasia and Cristian’s wedding celebrations. Their wedding bands—bespoke designs by Manhattan-based Zameer Kassam—were engraved with tiny symbols representing their love story: a white diamond for the Dolomite mountains where they love to ski, and hand-carved vines inspired by the Murano glass chandelier at the St. Regis in Venice.
