A Sophisticated Fall Celebration Inspired by Nature’s Tranquility at Villa Regina Teodolinda

By Kevin Harson24 October 2025

The wedding day was a true ode to autumn, with a color palette of browns and blues that evoked the season’s tranquility and elegance. The overall effect created an incredibly intimate and sophisticated atmosphere. The wedding exuded an undeniable classy and elegant vibe, evident in every carefully chosen detail.

Jeremiah proposed three times, with the first two attempts thwarted by his lack of parental blessing. His initial proposal in Paris in March 2022 was romantic, but I couldn’t accept without my parents’ approval. A year later in Las Vegas, he tried again at The Eiffel Tower Restaurant, even orchestrating a humorous, public proposal, but still hadn’t secured their blessing. Finally, in December 2023, after moving to a new city and sadly losing their dog, Jeremiah secretly got my parents’ blessing in Mandarin. He then surprised me with a heartfelt, intimate proposal, incorporating memories of our beloved dog and acknowledging our new home, leading me to finally say yes.

Janella’s wedding gown is a magnificent princess-style wedding gown featuring a voluminous skirt of tulle and organza, adorned with intricate floral lace appliques throughout. The elegant off-shoulder bodice has a deep sweetheart neckline, complementing the dress’s overall romantic and luxurious feel. A remarkably long and wide train, also detailed with lace, adds a dramatic and regal touch to this radiant bridal ensemble.

The groomsman’s attire consists of a sharp Suitsupply navy blue suit, a modern and versatile choice known for its tailored fit and quality fabric. This deep blue provides a sophisticated backdrop for the contrasting maroon bow tie, which adds a rich pop of color. The combination creates a classic yet contemporary look, balancing the timeless appeal of a navy suit with the bold, warm hue of the tie.

The entire wedding’s food and beverage service was provided by Sunlake Catering.

The floral arrangements reflected the autumnal tones with vibrant oranges and deep greens in the foliage, interspersed with soft creams and whites.
The wedding cake was made of alternating layers of puff pastry and delicate cream, topped with a cascade of red berries.
