The First Look
We’re not gonna lie: we are completely obsessed with Lauren’s pink Aje. wedding gown.
There truly is nothing sweeter than first look groom smiles.
“I had found this pink Aje. gown while looking for inspiration for statement dresses that were not white,” says Lauren of her journey to this nontraditional look. “It was from a previous season but I was able to find it resale not in my size and have it altered to my body.”
“The pink color was reminiscent of the bougainvillea found all over San Miguel de Allende, and I really let the dress lead the rest of the elements of the wedding. Pink florals, all white linens, all white for guests.”
Twinkly Mexican star lanterns created a beyond-magical glow as the sun went down.
