Lauren and Michael’s Tivoli Italian Villa wedding was the perfect combination of heartfelt moments, elegant details, and a lively celebration with loved ones. Set in the picturesque hills of Fallbrook, the villa provided the perfect backdrop for their timeless wedding day, full of personal touches and memories to cherish forever.
A Day Full of Personal Connections
Lauren and Michael’s day started with quiet moments that reflected their unique bond and deep family ties. While the guys hung out in the getting-ready room playing pool, Michael added a meaningful detail to his attire—his grandfather’s cufflinks. Lauren, meanwhile, spent time preparing with her bridesmaids, reflecting on how special it was to have her grandparents, both in their nineties, in attendance.
Lauren and Michael opted for a first look and private vows before the ceremony, creating an intimate moment to connect and share their hearts with each other. The emotion of these moments was tangible, and it set the tone for a beautiful day ahead.
Lauren also shared a tender moment with Michael’s mom before the ceremony, capturing a memory filled with laughter and joy.
Stunning Details and Florals
The villa came alive with the warmth of Terracotta Florals’ stunning arrangements, featuring rich fall hues that complemented the venue’s natural charm. Lauren’s first dress, from Janne Hill Bridal, fit perfectly into the romantic, Tuscan-inspired setting.
Their ceremony was an emotional highlight, featuring personal vows and an anniversary dance where Lauren’s grandparents, married for 68 years, shared advice to “always hold onto each other.” They even used the same wedding cake topper from their wedding, a sentimental touch that added so much meaning to the day.
Sunset Portraits and Evening Elegance
As the sun set, Lauren and Michael strolled down Tivoli’s iconic palm tree-lined road for golden-hour portraits. The soft light and serene setting created the perfect backdrop for capturing their love.
Later in the evening, Lauren changed into a stunning second dress by Prea James Bridal, and we took another set of portraits. The energy and joy between them were undeniable, and these moments became some of the most memorable of the day.
Dancing the Night Away
The reception was a candlelit dream, with a photo booth bus adding a fun, playful touch for guests. DJ Mojoe kept the dance floor packed as Lauren and Michael danced the night away surrounded by their friends and family. Their first dance to Adele’s “One and Only” was an unforgettable moment, made even more special by the love and support of everyone around them.
The night concluded with a grand exit, a perfect send-off for a couple whose wedding day was nothing short of magical.
From the Bride
Lauren shared her thoughts about their wedding day:
“Our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more! Tivoli was the perfect backdrop to our day, and it was incredible seeing our vision come to life with our fall florals, photobooth bus, and dreamy candlelit reception. Our favorite moments of the day were sharing our personal vows during our ceremony and our first dance to Adele’s One and Only. My grandparents, who are in their nineties, were able to attend, and we loved seeing them dance together during our anniversary dance and share their advice to ‘always hold onto each other.’ We used their wedding cake topper from 68 years ago! We also had a ton of fun taking photos together after I changed into my second dress before hitting the dance floor. The best part was being able to share our special day with everyone that we love!”
