The ABCD actress, who was recently seen in the web show The Royals, chose Tuscany for its rich Italian culture and breathtaking beauty.

For the reception, she changed into an outfit she designed herself. The celebration lasted three days and was attended by close family and friends, including choreographer Terence Lewis. Guests enjoyed classic Italian dishes such as handmade pasta, eggplant parmesan, and refreshing limoncello spritzes. When asked about the wedding, Lauren described it as 'pure magic.' She added, 'I felt completely present and grounded, surrounded by people I love. Exchanging vows with Tobias, dancing beneath the stars, and celebrating with our families felt like a dream. The full moon that night symbolised abundance and spiritual growth for us. My dad's heartfelt speech brought tears to everyone's eyes. It was a celebration of love, family and joy, and I'm still amazed at how everything came together. '

It was joy. It was peace. It was everything we've ever dreamt of!" Take a look at Lauren and Tobias' wedding pictures here. What Lauren Gottlieb at to her wedding Lauren chose a classic white wedding gown for her special day, exuding elegance and modern romance. The off-shoulder design was paired with a daring plunge neckline that beautifully highlighted her décolletage. Delicate lace embroidery, intricate beading, subtle sequins, and floral threadwork gave the dress a soft, ethereal feel, while the mermaid-style silhouette added a touch of timeless glamour. The gown hugged her figure gracefully, accentuating her shape before flowing into a tulle-accented hem and a sweeping train. She completed the look with white pumps, a romantic rose bouquet, silver rings on each hand, and elegant drop earrings in silver. Her hair was styled in a centre-parted, half-up, half-down look, finished with a flowing tulle veil that cascaded down her back. For makeup, she kept it luminous and fresh: softly defined brows, a rosy lip, a flush of pink on the cheeks, fluttery lashes with mascara, a touch of shimmer on the lids, and a radiant highlighter to tie it all together. As for the groom, Tobias – an accomplished video creator and director based in London – looked dapper in a traditional black-and-white tuxedo. He wore a tailored black blazer with classic notch lapels, subtly padded shoulders, and a boutonnière on the lapel. Paired with matching trousers, a crisp white shirt, and a black bow tie, his look struck the perfect balance between timeless and refined. First Published: June 20, 2025, 17:37 IST
