The bride was determined to work with her dear friend (and bridesman), the designer Alain Paul, who she met during her years working at Louis Vuitton under Abloh. “As soon as I got engaged, I told him I wanted him to design this dress,” Lola says. “I’ve always been Alain’s biggest fan—his vision of womenswear is so powerful, contemporary, and timeless at the same time. Alain came up with this idea of using lace, but we didn’t want to use only one as in a more traditional wedding dress. We thought of mixing them as if we would have gone to flea markets throughout the years and found vintage laces to put together a dress. We had the help of this amazing Italian mill, Pizval, who custom-made six different laces for us. Alain spent hours draping them on me, and this is how we came up with the dress. The dress was hand made in Paris by this incredible atelier, and we used 60 meters total of laces.” For the after-party, Alain created a mini version of a runway bridal look from a previous collection.
For jewelry, Ben Baller created custom wedding bands with the idea of mixing two metals—rose gold and platinum for Scott, and gold and platinum for Lola. The combination of the two metals was intended to represent the union of two people.
On Saturday, the ceremony took place overlooking the ocean in the gardens of the Villa Cap Estel. “It was bliss,” Lola remembers. “A moment out of time where the world stopped, and it was just the two of us. We forgot everything around us. It was just us and our love, and it was the purest moment.” Lola and Scott always knew they wanted their minister, Pastor Rich, to officiate their ceremony. “Scott connected with him over the years and introduced me to him,” Lola explains. “We all got along so well, it just made so much sense to have him with us for the most important moment of our lives.”
After the ceremony, guests moved to cocktail hour by the pool, where Badbadnotgood was playing. “This was a full circle moment as they were playing at Virgil’s first show for Louis Vuitton where we met,” Lola says. Then, everyone gathered on the lawn by the villa for dinner, where candles were positioned all around the tables. Other than that, the couple wanted the decor to be quite minimal, so as to highlight the beauty of the location. “You don’t need to do much when you get to spend time with everyone you love in such a magical place,” Lola says. “The chef at the hotel is a young upcoming chef and killed it,” Lola says. “It’s a challenge to please everyone, especially people coming from different food cultures.”
After dinner, guests headed inside the villa for the after-party, where they had turned the restaurant of the hotel into a speakeasy decorated with red and pink velvets. “It was very cozy,” Lola says. Once everyone was inside, Scott performed two songs from his upcoming album for Lola.
“Everyone [we know who had] already gotten married told us it would go fast,” Lola says. “We didn’t know it would go this quickly [though]. We’re on cloud nine in our little bubble of love. It’s so overwhelming to receive so much love in such a short amount of time. You want this feeling to never end. It was really the most perfect, flawless, peaceful day, and we want to do it all over again. Looking back, I wouldn’t change a thing.”
