Andrea and Loren | Private Estate Wedding | Beverly Hills, CA
When I met with Andrea and Loren for coffee for the first time, it was as though we had all been friends forever. They told me about how they met as teenagers in a punk rock chat room (back when Andrea had a mohawk). Their mutual love for music quickly brought them together as young 15 year olds but the distance between them proved to be difficult at that time in their lives.
They never forgot about each other though. Fast forward to 10+ years later when a quick dinner to catch up eventually turned into a rekindled flame. After all that time they still felt the love they had shared for each other as teenagers and they began dating again.
Andrea and Loren hosted their wedding day at Andrea’s father’s Beverly Hills Estate. With its immaculate landscaping and pristine architecture, the property proved to be the perfect setting for the intimate gathering the couple had envisioned for their big day. The couple chose florals of orchids and soft pink roses to accent the decor and City Flower LA also incorporated the blooms in the gorgeous arch they created for the ceremony.
Andrea chose a stunning strapless ball gown with a sheer lace bodice by Eve of Milady for the first portion of the ceremony and reception. Her long blonde hair was elegantly pulled back into a bun that perfectly executed the look of effortless sophistication.
During the reception, guests enjoyed champagne and candlelit dinner catered by Il Cielo Restaurant, which also provided their famous cake for the couple. When it came time to put her dancing shoes on Andrea, quite literally, let her hair down and changed into a flowing gown by Leanne Marshall that allowed her to show off her best dance moves.
