We’re excited to reveal that Texas brides Toni and Caroline are gracing the June 2025 cover of Weddings in Houston Magazine—and their Lake Como wedding is nothing short of magical.

The morning started in a rooftop suite at their hotel, where the brides got ready together with their friends, cousins, and moms. Brunch, bubbly, and plenty of laughter filled the room as they shared stories and soaked in the excitement of the day. Toni, known for her impeccable style, wore a chic lace ensemble — one of five stunning outfits she had planned for the celebration.

The brides headed to the villa together to primp and capture portraits. Toni slipped into an “Italian-esque robe” before they both changed into their wedding gowns with their moms by their sides. In a heartfelt moment, Toni and Caroline shared their first look, dressed in their bridal gowns. “We were together all day,” Toni shares. “Something about us is we’re not the most traditional. We’re most comfortable with each other so we wanted to be with each other.”

The ceremony was a breathtaking scene against the shimmering waters of Lake Como. Vibrant blooms in shades of orange, pink, and yellow lined the aisle and altar. The song “Simply The Best” by Billianne played — a touching nod to a show she and her mom used to watch together. Toni followed shortly after, walking arm-in-arm with her parents to “You” by LANY, a deeply meaningful song for the couple. Caroline’s cousin officiated the ceremony, where the brides exchanged personal vows before sealing their marriage with a joyful kiss. Guests cheered as Toni and Caroline danced back down the aisle, beaming with love.

For Toni, the ceremony was the highlight of the day. “I have never been more calm in my life. I felt this wave of joy and calm come over me, and that’s what Caroline is to me in our life,” she shares.

The celebration continued with a garden cocktail hour featuring aperitivo—a delightful spread of drinks and charcuterie before dinner. Guests then enjoyed a three-course sit-down dinner, that Toni described as “some of the best pasta” she’s ever had. The reception space was adorned with vibrant florals, lush greenery, and chic rattan furniture, creating an inviting atmosphere.

For their first dance, Toni and Caroline swayed to “Love You For A Long Time” by Maggie Rogers — a song that brought back memories of one of their first concerts together. The reception was followed by an outfit change into chic two-piece sets for the evening’s next chapter: cake-cutting and fireworks! The couple danced the night away, ending their dreamy destination wedding weekend in Italy on a high note.
