Loredana and David

Wednesday, September 26, 2012


 































Love at first sight may sound dubious to some, but when Loredana met David in a law school class, she went home and told her mother she'd met the man she was going to marry–and marry him she did!

Gorgeous stationery from Laura Hooper Calligraphy hinted at the loveliness of this modern, classic celebration; the couple juxtaposed the gorgeous fall weather with a fresh white palette and lush floral arrangements. The bride wore a custom gown by Luci DiBella, paired with drop earrings from Stephanie Browne and white Badgley Mischka peep toes. Bridesmaids wore blush gowns from Imoda Emporium and carried delicate pink garden rose posies from Flowers by Entwine at Local Shop that matched the dresses (and the bride's white bouquet) perfectly, while David and his groomsmen wore classic black tuxedos.

Enchanted by the romance of garden weddings, the pair married in the Parliament House Gardens in East Melbourne, Victoria beneath a oak tree in a ceremony officiated by Jason Tuazon-McCheyne that combined Jewish and Italian traditions. After they exchanged Michael Herman New York rings, they walked through Melbourne with their guests to The Italian for their reception. Glasses of Prosecco were passed during the courtyard cocktail hour, and enlivened the guests sufficiently to dance the Horah before sitting down to an intimate dinner and a sumptuous cake from Cake Ink.

A big thank you to Adrian Tuazon-McCheyne of Adrian Tuazon Photography for sharing his spectacular photos–I can't imagine a more beautiful way to celebrate the first week of fall! 


Tell me, what's your favorite detail from this gorgeous celebration?
