Karla & Tucker | BRIDES US

Lake Como

“During the summer of 2012, Tucker Crockett was having dinner with a friend in Montauk and started describing his dream girl. To which his friend replied: “You have to meet Karla Herrera!” “She introduced us, and the rest is history,” Karla herself recalls. The pair then dated for four years, during which they moved to Denver together to pursue their dream of living out West. Fittingly, it was in Colorado that Tucker proposed. “He planned a weekend getaway to Aspen and during a day of hiking and horseback riding, he popped the question at the Maroon Bells,” Karla says.

In fact, Karla and Tucker love to travel, so none of their family and friends were surprised when they decided to host their August 5, 2017, wedding overlooking Lake Como. “We’d been there in 2015, and on our trip Tucker mentioned that Villa d’Este would be an amazing place to get married,” says Karla. “I was shocked because it was a year before we got engaged!” But they didn’t forget the property—or the tour they went on with the events director!—so choosing a venue was easy. From there, the couple worked with The Lake Como Wedding Planner to add an unexpected, modern flair to the venue’s traditional elegance, filling their wedding celebration with fun surprises for their 130 guests. From showstopping performances to a series of spectacular settings.”
