Becca Bloom & David Pownall

TikTok star Rebecca Ma, better known to her millions of followers as Becca Bloom, and software engineer David Pownall tied the knot in a modern-day fairytale celebration at the storied Villa Balbiano on Lake Como. The couple’s story began in 2019, and four years later, David proposed during a trip to Positano. With full creative control over their wedding, Becca and David curated a celebration that felt intentionally intimate, inviting just 60 of their closest friends and family.
The festivities opened with a rehearsal dinner in a playful palette of pink and green. In true Lake Como fashion, the couple arrived by boat—Becca in an Oscar de la Renta runway gown adorned with an oversized 3D bloom, and David in a Ralph Lauren Purple Label cream suit. Later that evening, Becca changed into a vintage Chanel couture dress from Karl Lagerfeld’s 2003 cruise collection, paired with crystal-embellished René Caovilla heels.
The following day, guests gathered outdoors for a ceremony. As “Can’t Help Falling in Love” played, Becca walked down the aisle in a custom Oscar de la Renta gown embroidered with laser-cut peonies—a flower deeply meaningful to her. She completed the look with classic white Chanel heels and Van Cleef & Arpels jewels. David stood waiting in a sharp Thom Browne suit, the perfect counterpoint to Becca's ethereal elegance.
Reception dinner unfolded beneath a marquee overlooking the majestic lake. For the reception, Becca debuted her fourth look of the weekend: a shattered-glass effect Oscar de la Renta gown with delicate rose motifs from the Spring 2025 collection, styled with Christian Louboutin ballet heels. Later, as Stephen Sanchez’s “Be More” filled the air, Becca and David shared their first dance—a beautiful finale to a weekend they will always hold dear.
