A love story nine years in the making, a Sicilian castle overlooking the coast, 1,500 roses and a chandelier made entirely of bread. 🇮🇹
For their September wedding, model Malia Balmos and Jaden Balmos brought their vision of la dolce vita to life at Castello San Marco, celebrating with 69 guests amid centuries-old architecture, enchanted gardens and the beauty of Sicily.
From a lace-inspired ceremony and deeply personal family traditions to a long, winding dinner table, Sicilian folk dancing and a fashion-filled editorial shoot through Taormina the following morning, every detail felt considered, meaningful and entirely their own.
Discover the full love story, the extraordinary design and every detail of Malia and Jaden’s Sicilian celebration. Their story is now live on The Bridal Journey .
