Aspen & Jake's Tuscany-Inspired Wedding

 

Allegretto Vineyard Resort, Palos Verdes

Aspen & Jake’s wedding day was bright and beautiful - and you wouldn’t be able to tell by how flawless they look, but it was over 90 degrees! Their Tuscany-inspired wedding took place at the Allegretto Vineyard Resort, which featured groves of olive trees and Italianate-style buildings. Desiring a celebration that would reflect them and their love, Aspen & Jake included many personal touches throughout their wedding day. A talented designer and artist, Aspen designed her own invitations with her effortless, flowing script. Aspen & Jake decided to forego a first look, instead seeing each other for the first time as Aspen was escorted down the aisle by her dad.

Following their ceremony, they wandered the grounds of the estate as Sara captured their first moments as husband and wife amongst the gardens and architectural nooks of the venue. Aspen chose a effortlessly beautiful wedding dress, featuring lace cap sleeves and accessorized with a delicate gold hairpiece.

After enjoying cocktails in the olive tree grove, guests were invited to dine underneath strung market lights, at tables set with detailed touches customized with the bride’s calligraphy. Crossback vineyard chairs and pale blue linens were the perfect accompaniment to the organic setting of the venue.
