Embracing Pastels and Italian Summer at Villa Renaissance

The vision was intimacy - a testament to the love shared within our family. The atmosphere bloomed with flowers and the melodies of our favorite songs, a nostalgic blend of old school hits and modern tunes, dancing us from the aisle to For your Love by Stevie Wonder to the dance floor to Tacones Rojos by Sebastian Yatra.

Our love story took off like a whirlwind, with marriage vows whispered under the white royal palace in Oslo, just weeks after acknowledging our love for each other. Though it was just the two of us then, we’re thrilled to have been able renew our vows with loved ones now.

Fate led me to my gown. When my original dress fell through, a last-minute trip to a Newport Beach boutique, Casablanca Bridal unveiled a gem that brought me to tears. In it, I felt like a princess ready to relive her love story.

Our bridesmaids shone in dresses of their choosing, provided they stayed within our pastel color palette. Their choices, a vibrant yellow from Banana Republic and a lovely pink, that was already in her closet, added to the bright and airy feeling of the celebration.

Dinner was a beautiful three-course meal served in an intimate setting.

Florals were the main detail and focus. The colors symbolized love’s tranquility, casting an airy and radiant ambiance over the entire celebration.

The bride chose carrot and almond cake as her wedding cake, her favorite!
