A Romantic Winter Wedding at Tivoli Italian

Gabriela and Kurt, brought together by a modern-day Instagram connection and a shared passion for powerlifting, celebrated their love in a romantic winter wedding at Tivoli Italian Villa in Southern California. Their story is a true East-meets-West journey, with the bride relocating from New Jersey to California to be with the groom. On a soft, drizzly February day, surrounded by family and friends from both coasts, they exchanged heartfelt vows before the skies cleared just in time for an enchanting al fresco reception. The bridal party wore a warm, earthy palette of champagne, terra cotta, and light tan, perfectly complementing the neutral décor and elegant white florals. Timeless moments preserved by Lauren Lucile Creative, the evening ended with the bride slipping into a chic white pantsuit and short veil, complete with matching sneakers worn by both her and the groom, as they danced the night away to timeless R&B classics under the stars.
