Olivia Culpo and Christian McCaffrey's Classic New England Wedding by Jose Villa

Model and former Miss Universe Olivia Culpo married San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey in June in her home state of Rhode Island. Planned by Lisa Vorce and photographed by Jose Villa, the weekend at Ocean House in Watch Hill was a classic New England summer affair, as Vogue reported. The couple married at the 150-year-old Watch Hill Chapel, where Olivia wore a long-sleeve, crewneck crepe Dolce & Gabbana ball gown with a 16-foot lace veil and carried a bouquet of lily of the valley, and her mother played in the string quartet. Christian was so eager that he blurted out "I do!" in the first 30 seconds. Afterward came Champagne and lobster rolls on the veranda, a dinner tent entered through a floral archway of garden roses, peonies, ranunculus and oakleaf hydrangeas by Semia, and dancing under crystal chandeliers until the supper-club after-party.

I love this flat lay. Jose Villa styled it and put it together so beautifully, framing the bride's diamonds with lily of the valley from her bouquet and setting her engagement ring in my Georgian Oval Ring Box in Dove Linen.

FLAT LAY RECIPE:

An all-white coastal ring flat lay on textured white linen. Two white scallop shells hold the diamond drop earrings and the wedding bands, stems of lily of the valley sweep in from both sides, and the engagement ring sits upright in a cream linen oval ring box. Thank you to Jose Villa for styling this flat lay so beautifully; with just a few shells and the bride's own flower, it feels as fresh and timeless as a June morning by the sea.
