A Bella Cosa Wedding full of so much love | Lauren & John

Lauren & John’s Bella Cosa wedding was full of joy and love right from the start. From the first time I met the two of them I could feel the love radiating off of them. You know all those book boy friends that we read about? Ya, that’s how John looks at Lauren, like the way our book boyfriends would.

The Details

I have to share some of the detail photos from their day. When you have a Bella Cosa wedding, you’re going to have a stunning backdrop for you and your details.

Bride and her girls getting ready

The day started off in the bridal suite with Lauren and her 6 besties getting their glam on. Bella Cosa has the best bridal suite with beautiful lighting, and lots of places to host all your best friends.

Groomsmen Getting ready

The Grooms have their own space upstairs so they can stay completely separate from the bridal party. There is the bar downstairs though that is the perfect spot for some fun photos of the groomsmen.

Bride into her dress

Laurens dress gave off the perfect romantic vibes for a Bella Cosa wedding and it had us all swooning. Her dress was from Theory Bridal House.

First Touch

Lauren and John had an intimate first touch before their ceremony. One of the things I love about Bella Cosa is how many beautiful spots there are around the venue for moments like this.

Bella Cosa Wedding Ceremony

One of the best parts of Bella Cosa is the ceremony location. Overlooking the water with gorgeous trees framing the space. With the optional chandeliers for a soft romantic look, it is so dreamy.

Lauren walked down the aisle with her dad, and both her dad and John were full of emotions.

Their wedding ceremony was performed by a good friend, who was crying throughout the whole thing. Lauren and John along with all their friends are full of energy and spunk, so the ceremony had lots of humor throughout.

Michael their officiant told their meet cute story during his speech, because it was just too cute to leave out. John face timed his sister and saw Lauren in the background of the call and immediately had to know who she was. He managed to get her number off of his sister and within a few months he was moving out to be with Lauren.

Wedding Party

Lauren and John surrounded themselves with their best friends, and they were of all their to party and be there for the couple.

Reception

The back patio at Bella Cosa is such a dramatic spot to decorate for your first dances and dinner. It can be flipped during cocktail hour from your ceremony location to your reception spot. I love that the sweet heart table is right in the same spot that Lauren and John said ‘I DO”.

Wedding Portraits

Of course the very best part of a Bella Cosa Wedding is all the spots for your wedding portraits. The front of the venue is beautiful, there are the side stairs, and the stairs at the back and the dock over the water. Thankfully this wedding was in May so we had time to take portraits during cocktail hour and during golden hour. It was perfect.

Honeymoon Suite

A really cool part of having a Bella Cosa wedding, is you and your loved ones get to stay the night after your party! No worrying about drunk driving or organizing rides. And there is a swanky honeymoon suite for the bride and groom. Lauren and John ran back up to their suite after their golden hour portraits for Lauren to change into her party dress.
