Bride's Dress, Veil, etc
Lauren wore an exquisite full lace ivory gown with beaded accents designed by Allure. Her vintage couture gown included a striking v-shaped neckline with a fitted bodice and scalloped lace train. The romantic silhouette featured elegant contoured lace cap-sleeves along with an ivory silk sash adorned with Swarovski crystals. The dramatic cathedral veil by Romona Keveza displayed hand sewn embroidered lace from her mothers wedding gown. Lauren carried a hand tied bouquet of bowl of cream peonies, tuberose, white ranunculus, Moscow lilac, Pieris japonica, cream sweet peas and lamb's ear. The iron rails outside the church were draped with boxwood and tied with ivory double-faced satin bows while the doors of the sanctuary held swags of camellia foliage, boxwood and Pieris japonica. Hurricane candleholders lined the aisles alternated with pew wreaths of gardenia foliage, lamb's ear, seeded eucalyptus, Pieris japonica and bay laurel. The altar featured leaf wrapped vases of bowl of cream peonies and votive candles and was flanked by two ivory urns filled with branches of blooming mock orange and bridal wreath spirea.
