You’d never have known that on Lauren + Salen’s wedding day, a huge storm rolled through 10 minutes before the guests started to arrive. It was crazy rain and wind! So crazy, in fact, that we had to enact plan B (and C) in a hurry!

The vendor team was phenomenal, with the photographer, videographer, caterer, and DJ all helping us to get everything moved and re-set undercover, and with an SOS call to the florist, their team turned back to construct a new chuppah from scratch.

But looking at the photos now, you can see that the couple made the best of it and everyone was all smiles in time for the ceremony!

This beautiful venue, Villa Del Lago, is one of our favorites, but has a new owner and isn’t continuing events past the end of this year. We’re so happy Lauren and Salen were able to host their wedding here- as it was a perfect fit for them, despite the initial weather challenges.

Wedding Details

Lauren’s first look with her dad gave us ALL the feels.

This was a full kosher wedding.

The black and white color palette was timeless and stunning!
