Nicole + Greg | Villa de Amore Wedding

Posted by MichealH Alexander on September 11th, 2019

Hello friends! We are back at it today after a bit of a break because #weddingseason over here at The Studio by Leah Marie. We are excited to be sharing photos from Nicole + Greg’s beautiful day at Villa de Amore on the blog!

Nicole and Greg are too cute! You can tell that they have so much love for each other!

We love a good pair of jeweled heels and these Bagley Mischka ones do not disappoint! And her bouquet from Soiree Floral Design was what dreams were made of with lots of greenery, texture and pops of blush!

How gorgeous is this bridal suite?! It has the prettiest blue walls and the faintest marbled tile floor and white accents. Seriously so pretty! And can we talk about this dress from The Dress Theory? It’s literal perfection!

Looking for a unique guestbook idea for your guests to sign? We love this G wooden cutout that had the bride and groom’s first names, last name and wedding date on it and guests could leave sweet messages on the wood. It’s great because it also serves as a decor piece for their home! Temecula photography and videography

Nicole and Greg decided on a first look (which we totally recommend) and their reactions were beyond heartwarming! She was so excited and he couldn’t stop smiling. First looks are definitely some of our favorite wedding day moments to capture!

Villa de Amore has two ceremony locations, both beautiful but there’s nothing quite like getting married under big blue skies, mountains in the background, surrounded by the green vines.

How fun is this ceremony decor set up? We love the canvas of the bride and groom with hand-written signs are such a fun personal touch.

Shades on cause their love is so bright! 😎 Love the soft blush dresses with the sharp gray suits. And Greg’s blue suit is the perfect contrast!

Greg and Nicole met on the bus in MIDDLE SCHOOL! Our hearts can’t even take it! They dated on and off and it wasn’t until November 2016 that they decided on together forever.

” I still marvel when I see flashes of that same girl from middle school. A girl so full of empathy and positivity that it radiates to everyone around her.”

“For some people, they can pinpoint the moment that they fell in love.  Well, Greg was my first “I love you”… With every bump, and every challenge we encountered we chose to love each other. It was not always easy, but with Greg I learned most importantly that love is an act, not just a feeling.”

Their reception took place outside in the garden courtyard and was STUNNING!

Elegant elements like blush linens and romantic floral centerpieces with more rustic elements like farm tables and wooden table numbers complement each other perfectly. Add in the lush green landscape, gorgeous rotunda and twinkle lights and chandeliers and it’s a reception fit for royalty!

They opted for a farm table with gorgeous chairs for the Sweetheart table and simple tabletop items like gold rimmed chargers and glasses. Seriously how stunning is this?!

Photographing dessert/cake is always the hardest part because everything always smells so good! And this cake from Elegance on Display was no exception! Temecula modern wedding photographer

After heartwarming speeches and first dances, a delicious dinner and dessert and dancing the night away the couple had their grand exit complete with ribbon wands as they drove off into the night as husband and wife!
