Villa del Sol d'Oro Wedding

This regal LBGTQ+ wedding combined high-fashion glamor and a touch of spiritual mysticism to create a gorgeous and unforgettable affair. The grooms, their wedding party, and their families all sported custom couture garments–even their guests including the fabulous Jovana Benoit, creative director of Jovana Louis, arrived dressed to impress. The pairing of modern decor and a saturated gem tone color palette set against classic European architecture of the gorgeous Villa del Sol d’Oro, conjured a cinematic wedding that was equal parts elegant, vibrant, and whimsical.

Grooms, Tertulien and Kris, drew inspiration from their cultural heritage, high fashion, mysticism, and a little whimsical flair. Kris’s ceremonial look was a twist on classic Scottish Highland formal dress consisting of a white kilt and Prince Charlie jacket. Tertulien opted for a showstopping embroidered opera coat with a dramatic train. In order to pay homage to the groom’s Haitian roots, he had the Veve–a symbolic sigil representing the goddess of love in Haitian Vodou–embroidered on the back. The ceremony site took advantage of the spectacular manicured grounds of the estate, with a grand arcade flanked by massive cypress groves. Guests were seated in a single row on either side of the aisle facing inward, giving the look and feel of a high fashion runway show.
