Los Angeles Private Estate Wedding

Love is like wine.. it gets better with years! After 6 years of deepest respect, dating, romance and commitment, these two stunning people decided to tie the knot and did it in a non-traditional way. As the bride and the groom would say: it was a relaxing day for their beloved ones, lots of sunshine, music and delicious food!

To say that we love traditional weddings less than one of a kind weddings would not be exactly true! As lovers of everything pretty, we, at Le Magnifique, adore outstanding details, bright colors and innovative ideas, and each time we see wedding photographs like these ones captured by Janelle Marina Photography we come to realize how much we admire couples who develop their own new ways of presenting their love the way it would inspire our readers!

Elegance, sparkly details of the bride's wedding gown, luxurious flowers, and the incredible 5-bedroom house in West Hills with an amazing view of the valley could not match our wedding style preferences better than this!

From the bride: My husband and I dated for over 6 years by the time we got married. Having lived together for about 3 of those years, we were very confident in our relationship and the decision to take this next step in our lives. The goal of our wedding was focused less on the traditions and ceremonies and more on throwing a great party to celebrate the joining of our families and friends. Above all, we wanted great food, music and an open bar. My husband and I decided to combine all of our favorite party themes by having a Christmas, house-party wedding. We found this gorgeous 5 bedroom rental house in West Hills with an amazing view of the valley. Although it was an outdoor wedding in December, the California weather treated us well and strong winds were the only unfavorable event of the evening.

It's cliché to say it was the best day of our lives but it's a rare and beautiful thing to bring together all of your favorite people in the name of love and commitment. We then proceeded to get them all drunk and on the dance floor. We had an outstanding DJ who kept the guests dancing for hours! I would have to say that my favorite part of the wedding was the speeches. The love and honor we felt having our family and friends express their sentiments publicly was so moving. Overall, all of the money and stress that went into that day was worth it knowing that every single person in attendance conveyed their love and support to us as a couple and for our future together.
