Overview
- The couple exchanged vows at Villa Cora in Florence over the weekend of June 27 in a private, multi-day celebration that the pair designed to feel like a holiday for family and friends.
- Events included a hanbok welcome party, a Western-style ceremony, and a pyebaek — a traditional Korean post-ceremony ritual to honor the groom’s parents that the couple held as a late-night, intimate gathering when flights delayed relatives.
- Arden Cho wore a custom Vera Wang gown for the main ceremony and changed into vibrant ceremonial hanboks for Korean rituals, while designers and planners created multiple couture looks across the weekend.
- Planners and the couple overcame several last-minute setbacks, including four checked bags temporarily lost in transit, delayed or canceled family flights, and a Level-3 Florence heatwave that forced later ceremony times and extra cooling measures.
- The coverage frames the wedding as a personal milestone that foregrounded Cho’s Korean heritage and public profile — she voices the lead in Netflix’s KPop Demon Hunters — and reflects a broader trend of destination ceremonies that blend cultural tradition with contemporary bridal fashion.
