Bridal & Formalwear
Lauren loved the look of the strapless Watters gown that she purchased to wear at her reception. Following the conclusion of the ceremony, she opened the garment bag to find not only the dress but also separate puff sleeves that were meant to be worn with it. “My photographer actually convinced me to try them on,” she says. “Now I can’t imagine having worn the dress any other way!”

Lauren looked to her team of vendors to create a floral design that was in keeping with the wedding’s grandmillenial aesthetic. “We used all the colors usually associated with that style, but in a very toned-down, classy way,” says planner Julian Leaver.

Created by Fancy Cakes by Lauren, the hexagonal wedding cake—one of the event’s main showstoppers—was displayed on a mirrored cake stand, which echoed the pattern on the couple’s custom dance floor.

Lauren was gifted her great-grandmother’s wedding band to serve as her something old, while her mom’s diamond necklace was her something borrowed.

One of Lauren’s favorite moments of the day was the arrival of her bridal party. “The amount of energy and pure excitement they brought only made me feel the most confident in my love for Connor and marriage-to-be,” she says.

Lauren’s childhood best friend—Sydney Watters Dunbar, the brand director of Watters—was essential in helping Lauren find her looks. “I fell in love with two very different dresses,” says the bride. Ultimately, she says, “I had to choose both!”
