A Spanish Villa Micro Wedding Just Outside Los Angeles

Madie & DannyOctober 2023AIRBNB Stunning Spanish Villa, LA · Southern California

A Spanish villa micro wedding just outside Los Angeles is what Madie and Danny had — twenty-five people at a private tile-roofed estate in Agoura Hills in October 2023, with a pool, a vineyard, and a wide grass yard set under old trees. Madie flew in from Ohio, Danny's family was close by, and the day gathered everyone who mattered onto one lawn.

The morning ran quiet and split between the houses. There was no first look — they saved seeing each other for the aisle, out on the grass under a fruit tree, with a cello and guitar playing and Danny's sister waiting to marry them. The program set the tone, a little hand-drawn mushroom at the top and a handfasting written into the order of service.

Morning

Getting Ready at the Villa

Madie got ready inside the villa, in rooms with carved-wood doors, Moroccan tilework, and a crystal chandelier overhead. She stood in a carved-wood doorway in her gown, a capiz-shell chandelier catching the light behind her, a Moroccan lantern sconce on the wall — the dress fitted lace with long sheer-lace sleeves and an illustrated, low back, her hair half-up in soft curls with a floral wreath tucked in. Her mother, in a deep green beaded gown with her own hair swept up, pinned the veil in for her, the two of them working it out together in front of the mirror.

Danny dressed in the pool house in a bright tropical-print short-sleeve shirt over black trousers, laughing his way through it in a sunlit boho room with a rattan hanging chair and potted plants in every corner. The couple had made pieces of the day by hand: Madie and her mom sewed the flower crowns and put together little baskets for the three flower girls — Danny's young nieces, Juniper, Olive, and Willow — and her mom brought a cake topper she had made herself.
