Former Miss Universe, Italy, Miriam Polverino naturally chose her homeland as the backdrop to her picture-perfect nuptials. She shares pointers on how best to savour the day.

Miriam didn’t have to go far to find the love of her life, marrying her best friend’s brother. She shares their journey together, from the epic proposal atop Mount Batur in Bali, to hen parties spanning Sardinia to South Korea, culminating in the ultimate celebration of togetherness in Sant’Agnello, Italy (and a honeymoon in Oman!). Every detail of the wedding, from their timeless rings to Miriam’s elegant dresses reflected their personal, minimalist style. Miram also shares her tips on how to make the day as seamless as possible, to ensure that it feels authentic to you as a couple, and allows you to savour each incredible moment.

How did you and your husband meet?

Our love story began thanks to my best friend — he’s her brother! From the start, it felt like destiny was weaving its magic.


Every bride has a proposal story. What’s yours?

He proposed on top of Mount Batur in Bali during sunrise. Picture this: a breathtaking view, golden hues illuminating the sky, and the love of my life asking me to spend forever with him — it was a dream come true.

Tell us about the ring. How does it reflect your style?

My engagement ring is a reflection of my personal style: simple yet timeless. It features a sparkling central diamond with delicate smaller diamonds on the sides — understated and elegant. As for my wedding band, it is the classic love Cartier ring.

Take us through your hen party — spare no detail!

I was lucky enough to have not one, but two hen parties! The first was in Sardinia with my closest friends from Italy, filled with laughter and sunshine. The second was in South Korea with my Hong Kong friends — a completely different vibe but equally special. Both celebrated who I am and the wonderful friendships I treasure.

What was the most daunting wedding planning challenge you faced?

Planning a wedding is no small feat, and while it had its stressful moments, I savoured every second. It was such a joy to see all the pieces come together for the big day.

What was the absolute highlight of the day?

The highlight for me was seeing all my family and friends genuinely enjoying themselves. Living far from them, I cherished every moment spent together. Witnessing their pride and love was truly heartwarming — it was a celebration of togetherness.

Is there anything you wish you had done differently?

If I could go back, I’d adjust the timing of the day. There were a few delays, so I’d make sure things started earlier to keep everything running smoothly.


What was your favourite thing about the dress(es)?

Both my dresses were elegant and minimalist — crafted from luxurious silk satin and paired with long, flowing veils. They perfectly reflected my love for timeless simplicity.

Where did you spend your honeymoon?

Our honeymoon in Oman was magical. The stunning landscapes, vibrant culture, and the incredible experiences we shared made it an adventure we’ll never forget. It was the perfect mix of relaxation and exploration.


Any advice for future brides-to-be?

  • Savour every moment; the day goes by in the blink of an eye. 
  • Don’t strive for perfection — it’s the love and joy that truly matter.
  • Take a quiet moment with your partner during the day to soak it all in.
  • Start the day early to avoid any rush or delays. 
  • Most importantly, focus on what feels authentic to you as a couple. It’s your day, and it should reflect your love story.

Alex brings her Pinterest wedding board to life with a dreamy venue at Lake Como and her dream dress…

Straight out of her Pinterest wedding board, Sassy Partnerships Manager Alex makes her dream wedding a reality. From her gorgeous venue at Lake Como to a serendipitous opportunity to try on the dress she’s been eying, she shares how everything fell into place for her Italian destination wedding. Most memorable of all, however, was the quality time spent with her partner Calvin (like picking out her engagement ring together), and the joy of celebrating with their loved ones from around the world.

That Bride, Alex

How did you and your husband meet?

We went to the same high school, but weren’t that close until one sports day. We were hanging out with mutual friends, cheering on one another, and I think discovering our shared sense of very questionable humour was the spark that started it all. 11 years later, and here we are.


Every bride has a proposal story. What’s yours?

We’ve had the marriage talk, which made sense given how long we’ve been together, so I knew it was difficult for Calvin to surprise me. He popped the question during the pandemic, on our first trip post-lockdown. We were going to Thailand and it turned out our friends were making bets on whether or not he would propose on the trip (the majority were betting he would).

Of course, they were right. Calvin went down on one knee in Phuket. Once I saw the poolside dinner set-up with flowers under a canopy, I knew it was coming. What really was the most surprising thing was that he managed to hide a large photo album behind his back (inside his shirt!) that was filled with pictures of us throughout the years, along with small notes of memories we shared. Stuck on the last page was one last note asking me to marry him, and in my blubbering state, I obviously said yes.

That Bride, Alex, wedding ring

Tell us about the ring. Was it a surprise or did you pick it out together?

We picked out the ring together, which I think is the best way to do it. That way, I’m 100% guaranteed to love it and it also took the pressure off Calvin.

I went in with a very clear idea of what I thought I liked. I suspected I was either a round or princess-cut girl, but after trying several rings on, I ended up picking an oval-cut ring with a setting neither of us even knew existed! It was really fun to go through that process together and we came out with a better understanding of what we wanted for our wedding bands as well.

Read More: Where To Buy Your Wedding Ring In Hong Kong


What did you do for your hen party?

In the beginning, I wasn’t sure if a bachelorette was possible just because a lot of my friends were living in different areas across the world. However, I am super thankful to have an amazing group of friends that made time during the holiday season to plan and organise a trip to Boracay, Philippines.

The funny thing is I was the only person that’s actually ever been there so while they did ask for advice, I truly loved all of the activities, dinners and games that they planned from massages, beach days and dinners. One of the most memorable moments was definitely going on a sailing paraw boat and laughing hysterically when one of us would get dunked in the water.


That Bride, Alex, Wedding Dress

What was your favourite thing about your wedding dress?

My wedding dress was one I had pinned on Pinterest for a while but never thought I would be able to try on because it wasn’t available in Hong Kong. But the stars had aligned when I was visiting New York for another friend’s wedding. There was a trunk show happening for this designer at the same time and luckily one of my bridesmaids was able to come with me to try it on and see if it lived up to the fantasy I had in my head.

My favourite thing about the dress is how it mixes modern and traditional elements – I love how the cut and pattern was modern, yet it also reminded me of traditional Filipino lace that I really wanted to incorporate.

That Bride, Alex, Lake Como, Italy

Let’s talk about your gorgeous venue. What made you pick Lake Como in Italy?

Honestly, never in my wildest dreams did I ever think we would get married at Lake Como. It was also one of the places that I had pinned on a Pinterest board as a dream wedding venue. Calvin and I knew that we didn’t want to have a wedding in Hong Kong, especially after feeling quite cooped up during Covid. We also realised that since so many friends and family would be flying in from different countries, it would be a destination wedding for most of them anyway.

Ideally, we wanted a place that overlooked water, had a big enough venue to house the majority of our guests and, of course, gorgeous architecture that needed minimal decor. But on top of that, we wanted to pick a destination that our families and friends would be happy to tour around before and after our wedding since they would be making the trek over!

Read More: Destination Weddings In Asia – Best Locations And Hotels


What was the most challenging part about planning a destination wedding?

Definitely the time difference and the language barrier since both Calvin and I live in Hong Kong and don’t speak Italian. We were very fortunate to have a great wedding planner based in Italy (shoutout to Annie from WeddingBox Lake Como!) that helped coordinate all of the vendors and everything we needed.

That Bride, Alex, table setting, guests

Can you share the most memorable moment of your wedding?

I have two if that’s okay – the first one is the private first look with Calvin. As a man of few emotions, it was very touching to see him tear up during our first look and that’s when it really hit me that it was really happening.

The second was definitely watching our guests react to their place cards. I love giving gifts so we had customised place cards with all of their faces on it (it took some questionable stalking methods to get close-ups of our friends) and wrote thank you letters at the back of each card as a token of appreciation. Seeing the people that we love react (hopefully) happily to their faces and letters is a core memory I will cherish forever.

That Bride, Alex

Is there anything you wish you had done differently?

Spent more time in Como and our wedding venue after the wedding! Since our honeymoon was right after the wedding, we were in a rush the next morning to check out and leave Como to head to Florence. Coupled with the amount of alcohol we had the previous night and our lack of sleep, it was a miracle we both made it to our train in time. In hindsight, I would’ve loved to stay an extra night to unwind and reflect on the day before!


How did you spend your honeymoon?

Calvin and I had our honeymoon immediately after the wedding since we were already overseas – it just made sense to keep the adventure going. After leaving Como, we spent some time in Florence. Nothing tops fresh pasta and gelato. We then headed to Barcelona, which happened to be Calvin’s first time in Spain. We landed in Barcelona on Sant Jordi (Saint George’s Day), a beautiful and serendipitous experience. The timing was perfect because the day is all about love and books, creating a truly romantic and meaningful atmosphere to kick off our married life


That Bride, Alex, night shot, wedding cake

Any advice for future brides-to-be?

Find a time for the two of you to be alone during the wedding day – the day will pass quickly and you’ll be surrounded by so many people so it’s important to have time to yourselves so you can truly enjoy each other’s company and your time as newlyweds! Also, prepare for unexpected weather especially during spring/autumn times (transitional seasons) – Calvin and I had arrived in Como days before during a heat wave, but on our wedding day it had dropped more than 10 degrees and people were in coats by the end of the night!

Lab-grown diamonds are favoured for good reason. They’re sustainable and affordable, and boast all the shine of natural diamonds. Scroll through for our favourite brands and stores selling lab-grown diamond jewellery in Hong Kong.

What’s not to love about lab-grown diamonds? Because they share the same chemical makeup as natural diamonds, lab-grown diamonds are indistinguishable from their mined counterparts, tend to come at a much cheaper price and are considered the more ethical and sustainable alternative. So whether you’re in the market for an impressive engagement ring, statement necklace or earrings, here is everything you need to know about lab-grown diamonds and our favourite jewellery brands and stores for quality loose stones or lab-grown diamond jewellery in Hong Kong.

What Are Lab-Grown Diamonds?

As the name suggests, lab-grown diamonds are synthetic diamonds that are made in a laboratory, as opposed to natural diamonds which are mined from the earth. Grown over a period of weeks from a wafer-thin diamond seed, lab-grown diamonds have the exact same chemical composition as natural diamonds. And because they are created in a controlled environment, consistent high quality is attainable. In fact, when made well (beware of poorly made ones!), lab-grown diamonds are indistinguishable from natural diamonds to the naked eye – only specialised testing equipment can tell them apart.

Now available in Hong Kong, lab-grown diamonds were first developed in the early 1950s, but only really started gaining popularity in the jewellery market in the past decade. The good news for us is that higher demand means higher supply, which in turn means a lower price point (sometimes over 60% less than natural diamonds).

Niya K Lab Grown Diamond Jewellery Hong Kong: Diamond Engagement Rings Wedding Rings

What Is The Difference Between Lab-Grown Diamonds And Natural Diamonds?

Lab-grown and natural diamonds are virtually identical in terms of composition, appearance and durability. Also, since lab grown diamonds are artificially manufactured using a process that requires less water and emits a lower amount of carbon, they are seen to be the more ethical option with less of an environmental and social impact than mined diamonds. On the flip side, while there have been ethical issues surrounding the mining of diamonds, conflict-free natural diamonds provide more jobs to support communities in need.

While lab-grown diamonds are readily available at a lower cost, ethically sourced natural diamonds have a rich history and are considered more rare, placing a higher value on them. It’s also important to note that because lab-grown diamonds are not as valuable, they aren’t going to get you much in resale value.

Choosing between lab-grown and natural diamonds is a personal choice, and it is best to consider the two as separate members of the wider gemstone family, each with their own unique advantages. It doesn’t have to be an either/or question – you’ll find that different diamonds can be used for different pieces of jewellery.
