Ed Westwick and Amy Jackson at their wedding reception in the Amalfi Coast, along with a sketch of Jackson's Atelier Pronovias dressAmy Jackson went into her three-day wedding celebrations with a bridal wardrobe that held as much grandeur.
The British model and actress, 32, wore multiple looks to celebrate her nuptials to actor Ed Westwick in the Amalfi Coast after their small civil ceremony in London on Aug. 9.
One of the many dresses worn by the bride was a Pronovias Atelier gown that she debuted at the reception — and we have the details.
According to the label, Jackson’s custom piece was crafted from pure silk satin and was designed with a “glamorous, sinuous silhouette" in mind.

Her gloves and corset were “entirely hand-embroidered” with bicolored crystals that added a “touch of light and magic” to the entire ensemble.
The attention to detail was made all the more evident by the amount of time it actually took Pronovias Atelier to create the dress. With the 32 hours reserved for pattern making, the 28 hours used up for embroidering and the 45 hours it took for the whole dress to be constructed, the entire look took more than four entire days to make from start to finish.

“By combining a modern embellished corset and diamond rain-like gloves with vintage elements, [it's] the perfect fusion of past and present," she said.

Jackson and Westwick, 37, kicked off the festivities on Aug. 23 with a sunset cruise on the Motonave Patrizia, for which she wore a romantic off-the-shoulder cream Vivienne Westwood number and eye-catching earrings.
The next day, the couple — who worked with wedding planning firm Bianco Bouquet, as well as concierge service Elite Villas — held the ceremony at the Castello Di Rocca Cilento. Jackson walked down the aisle in a custom-made Alberta Ferretti gown made from a light and airy mikado fabric, ideal for the Italian summer heat.
"The dress Alberta created made me feel like the best version of myself, indulging my hopeless romantic side for the day," she told PEOPLE. "The 15-foot hand-embroidered veil brought me to tears when I first saw it."
