Dave Navarro and Vanessa DuBasso Tie the Knot in a Fairytale Wedding
In a celebration that captured the essence of romance and fantasy, guitarist Dave Navarro, 57, and actress Vanessa DuBasso, 31, have officially exchanged vows. The couple held their wedding at the picturesque Dunskey Estate, located in Stranraer, Scotland.
The newlyweds described their vision for the event, emphasizing a desire for their guests to experience a setting reminiscent of a fairy tale. The Edwardian coastal castle, surrounded by expansive woodlands, served as the ideal backdrop for their nuptials.
Navarro conveyed his sentiments about the wedding, stating, “We wanted our wedding to feel like a dream. It was important to us to find a place that felt unlike anywhere we had ever been, a place that embraced nature and transported us to another world. We wanted our loved ones to share in this intimate experience.”
The wedding celebration spanned three days, beginning on March 28 with a rehearsal dinner characterized by a “gothic, darkly romantic” theme.
For the wedding ceremony on Saturday, DuBasso aimed for “an almost celestial ambiance.” She adorned herself in a Victorian-style gown complemented by angel wings and intricate pearl beading, designed by Tina Wong of Grace + Ivory. Navarro opted for a sleek all-black suit from Generation Tux, reflecting the couple’s distinct yet harmonious personalities.
The ceremony took place at a beautifully decorated altar nestled in the forest, illuminated by a striking gold candelabra. The aisle was lined with white roses, and chandeliers hung from the trees, enhancing the enchanting atmosphere.
The event featured live musical accompaniment from a three-piece quartet and culminated in a spectacular fireworks display following the ceremony.
During the reception, guests, including comedian Pete Davidson, were treated to a lavish feast consisting of pasta, seafood, filet mignon, and Scottish desserts, complemented by a traditional Swedish princess cake. Following dinner, the newlyweds and their guests celebrated by dancing in the castle’s dungeon.
The weekend of festivities concluded on Sunday, with various activities on the estate grounds, including skeet shooting, interactions with pet owls, and a cozy bonfire on the beach. The couple shared highlights from their memorable day on Instagram, with DuBasso expressing her wish for the final day to be “overflowing with color, an expression of life.”
Navarro remarked on the experience, describing the wedding as having “exceeded our expectations,” and called it “truly special and breathtaking.” Following the celebration, the couple planned to explore Scotland, with DuBasso revealing that Navarro is eager to “hunt for holy relics,” a lifelong fascination of his. She noted that he intends to investigate one of the rumored locations where the Holy Grail may be located.
According to Billboard, the couple’s romance began eight years ago when Navarro first saw DuBasso in a movie trailer, which led him to ask her out on a date.
