Cheers to Lauren and Josh (and Ollie and Harley!)
Lauren and Josh’s stunning May wedding was the perfect mix of classic romance with plenty of modern twists. Right from the ceremony, it was clear they were going to put their own mark on their special day — with two littles ones coming down the aisle in a miniature car! But nothing could upstage Lauren, in her gorgeous gown with lace mesh detailing along the sides, and that beautiful cascade bouquet. Josh and his groomsmen were looking very dapper in their gray suits. And we loved the colors of the day, with white, blue, and touches of gray, all setting up such a modern but sophisticated palate.
There was plenty to make the ceremony special, from the string quartet to getting friends involved, and we loved that the couple decided to participate in the sand ceremony to symbolize their new union. By the time we moved onto the reception, everyone was already bursting with happiness for these two.
The speeches were especially touching, with the father of the bride, the co-best man, and Lindsey, the bride’s sister, all getting up to share their love and support. Just like the ceremony, there were so many elements of this reception that were totally unique. From the signature cocktails named after their cats (shout out to Ollie and Harley!) to the amazingly unique geometric cake with that gray gradient frosting. But the dances really stood out. The couple looked so joyful during their first dance to “Blessed”, and we loved the slideshows during the father-daughter and mother-son dances. It was such an honor to host Lauren and Josh, and we hope they enjoyed the day as much as we did!
