Set against the lush backdrop of Hotel Bel Air, this wedding was a stunning expression of classic elegance and garden romance. The celebration began with a serene ceremony beside Swan Lake, where guests were greeted with cucumber spa water served from a gold bar cart. They took their seats on gold Versailles chairs as a string quartet played from the gazebo. A monogram of cream florals adorned the grassy aisle, leading to an altar framed with brushed gold pedestals, overflowing with creamy blooms, soft greenery, and onyx pillar candles, setting the tone for a timeless, sophisticated affair.

Following the ceremony, guests made their way to a cocktail hour on the patio, where old fashioneds and strawberry mojitos awaited. The space was styled with luxe white lounges, vineyard chandeliers wrapped in greenery, and textured cream linens. Gold plateau stands, lush garlands, and black escort cards with gold calligraphy created a striking visual moment. A solo guitarist played as guests sipped cocktails and enjoyed hors d’oeuvres beneath the California sky. Dinner was served on the lawn, where long tables were set with gold rimmed china, cut crystal glassware, and Swiss dot napkins tied with dramatic black bows. Cream florals, greenery, and candlelight added warmth, while live jazz floated through the evening air. As night fell, guests entered the ballroom for an after party complete with an eight piece band, custom gelato bar, gold detailed cakes, and starlit patio seating. The celebration ended on a sweet note, with guests receiving lemoncello as a parting gift, a perfect close to a beautifully curated day.
