Arlene & Alejandro at Vellano Estate

May 9, 2025 · Vellano Estate, Chino Hills

A Vellano Estate Wedding in Chino Hills

Arlene is bubbly, charismatic and loyal, Alejandro is adventurous, honest and hardworking, and both of them have a great sense of humor. On May 9, 2025, they married at Vellano Estate in Chino Hills in peach, royal blue and orange. Arlene got ready at home with her bridesmaids before a first look on the estate lawn, then Father Joe led a traditional Catholic ceremony at the rotunda with a unity candle, lasso, arras and rosary, with their godparents by their side. The reception brought parent dances, toasts, a bouquet and garter toss and a full dance floor. Here is their Vellano Estate wedding, photographed by One and Only Production.

The Details and Arlene Gets Ready

Orange roses, gold calligraphy and an acrylic invitation set the tone. Arlene and her bridesmaids started in pink robes, then her mom helped her into an off the shoulder ball gown, and her bridesmaids changed into peach.
