Ore and Talia in the Stevie Gown

From a lush botanical garden ceremony to a lively reception, Ore & Talia’s wedding was a mix of 70’s retro, disco cowboy, and vintage-inspired charm.

From Campus Friends to Soulmates

Ore and Talia met in the early days of college, but it wasn’t until after they graduated and later reconnected in Los Angeles that their relationship truly ignited. “He is my stable, comforting and strong protector, while I am his silly, social and energetic bundle of chaos,” Talia says.

Their story took flight in Hawaii, where the couple journeyed for a tropical getaway. A helicopter carried them to a hidden cove of cascading waterfalls, and surrounded by untouched nature, Ore asked Talia to marry him. “The private setting was more breathtaking than I ever dreamed,” she says.

A Botanical Garden Wedding in California, USA

Ore and Talia married at Hartley Botanica in Somis, California, a botanical garden that suited their love of the outdoors and tropical landscapes while remaining central to both families. Their day was a fun mix of 70s retro, disco cowboy, and vintage aesthetic as they celebrated with their nearest and dearest. “Our ceremony was the most memorable part of our day because we did a nontraditional mix of Judaism & Christianity with our brother-in-law as our officiant.” Guests were swept into the emotion of the day, though the 125-person conga line during the reception was a close contender for most memorable.

Talia's Bridal Looks

Talia booked her Grace Loves Lace appointment last minute, arriving solo in Venice. “As soon as Nicole put me in Stevie, I felt a connection to her and knew she was the one,” she reflects. Talia FaceTimed her sisters and mother then and there, and they couldn’t have agreed more. “I said yes to the dress on the spot and felt an instant relief of checking it off my lengthy to-do list.” Having always envisioned a high-neck wedding dress, Talia fell in love with Stevie’s design, including the low back that “fit like a glove.” The lightweight fabric, intricate embroidery, and lace train drew her in. “It was so elegant. Multiple guests told me it was me in dress form, perfectly matching my personality.”

For the reception, she changed into our heirloom gown, Loyola, ready to dance the night away. The celebration ended with a late-night stop at In-N-Out, the perfect close to an unforgettable day.
