Lauren jokes, I made Travis in a petri dish with my shamans in Peru.

The pair texted throughout her entire tripand theyve been inseparable ever since her return to Los Angeles.

The groom-to-be knew that ultimately Lauren would be happiest designing her own ring.

I decided to procure the stone and a bar of gold.

From there, Lauren worked withJean Prounisto design her dream ring.

When it came to the proposal, Travis wanted it to be a total surprise.

She would never have expected it on a night that she had planned, says Travis.

At that point, I think she knew something was up, he says.

I nearly fell out of the booth onto the floor to get to the proposal.

I eventually got there, and she said, Yes.

The couple celebrated the rest of the evening with friends at Sunset Tower.

Travis adds, I was definitely more supporting cast on the planning aspect.

Lauren had a vision and Ive learned quickly her design palate may be more sophisticated than mine.

The bride admits that finding local wedding vendors that could fit her target aesthetic proved harder than she expected.

Thats why she brought on Daniel Soares fromAlimentari Flaneur.

He is a true artist and completely understood exactly what I wanted without having to say a word.

Lauren says the in-house staff at Villa Cozzano was also integral to bringing her vision to life.

The entire team at Villa Cozzano was so hands-on and truly understood me, she says.

Sometimes youth is paired with the idea of inexperience, but they were complete masters in understanding modern hospitality.

The bride and grooms entire wedding weekend wardrobe was created by the designer.

Everything about the brand resonates so deeply with me.
