By Lavender is the new bloom and blush. We’ve been gushing about purple gowns fitting bridal runways, but the same is true for florals.
Luckily, we have the perfect wedding to showcase this trendy color for 2022! Regina & Davis’ luxurious & lush Bel Air wedding was full of lavender details: bridesmaid dresses, ribbons, stationery, and of course, the florals!
In Los Angeles, a wedding they have plenty to offer, expect from flowers, for instance, the venue. A visit to the Bel-Air Bay Club offered great views of the coast of Southern California and gave their guests the ultimate reason to visit LA on their wedding day.
The Love Story
They first met on their first day of medical school. Their interest in each other began right away when they started to hang out with the same group of friends, and through sleepless nights of studying, practicing, and attending classes and we became close friends. Later that year, Davis snuck in a kiss on New Year’s Eve with a magical weekend in NYC, and the rest is history.
In January 2018, we finally had one week off together in Hawaii, where we got engaged after only having limited time off during our medical training. Davis proposed after a kayak ride to and hiked up the Mokolua islands. Fortunately, the beautiful engagement ring he spent years saving up for did not get lost when our kayak capsized, and the waves crashed onto the rocks while we hiked!
The Venue
Having people travel from a distance, we wanted to make sure the views and food at our wedding would be memorable. The Bel-Air Bay Club provided a stunning view of the California coast, but it also provided a sense of elegance to the wedding. We have also been told repeatedly how great the food and drinks were.
Best Moments
The best moment was the first dance as a married couple because couple worked on it together as one team, delivering to reception and surrounded by everyone who loved us, and we loved them back. The wedding was unique as we both enjoyed it to the fullest, and the fact that we were both so careless and only did was enjoying the day. Both of us remember feeling that the wedding day had arrived and that nothing could ruin our spirits that day since everyone we loved was there to celebrate with us.
The Photography & Videography
As early on as possible, we decided that if there was anything we were going to lavish on for the wedding, it would be photography and videography since those are the moments captured detailing every aspect of the wedding that we will treasure forever! We have no regrets in doing so.
Both Hanh Nguyen and Encor Studio were introduced to us through several of our friends who also used them for their weddings. We immediately appreciated the way they captured the perfect candid moments and made every important detail of the wedding stand out with their artistic abilities.
Hanh Nguyen was our first choice because of her attention to detail, her use of natural lighting, and her ability to create a relaxed, natural environment. Encor Studio was also specifically chosen for its ability to capture the most candid/important moments and create a video that would be just as magical and recreate the exact feeling we had on our wedding day.
The Honeymoon
After the wedding, we took a two-and-a-half-week vacation across Europe! A honeymoon later in life was nice because it gave us more time to relax from all the post-wedding festivities and other things.
Our trip began in Spain, where we visited Barcelona and Madrid, then went to Portugal, where we hired a car and toured the country’s coast. Afterward, we spent some time in Budapest, Hungary, where we attended the largest pool party in Europe, Sparty, and then we ended our trip relaxing and exploring the beautiful Greek islands.
