Lauren and Michael’s Bright and Beautiful Wedding
When Lauren and Michael got married in October, they want a classic, elegant, and beautiful big day. They had embraced the traditional color of fall — oranges, reds, with some navy blue accents — and decorated the Plaza Toscana with gorgeous floral arrangements.
The bridal party was dressed to impress, with navy blue gowns for the bridesmaids and gray suits for the groomsmen (with a navy suit for Michael). Lauren was a vision in her v-neck, a-line wedding gown, which was completely covered in delicate floral detailing. As she walked down the aisle, no one could keep their eyes off her!
The couple had a traditional ceremony, complete with vows, rings, and a romantic kiss. And once our guests of honor were officially wed, everyone moved inside to celebrate with a reception! Lauren and Michael kicked things off with their first dance to “Joy of My Life” by Chris Stapleton, and then Michael let his bride dance with her father and father-in-law.
After the first dances, guests enjoyed a meal of: salad with strawberries, grapes, and feta cheese; mashed potatoes and vegetables; and chicken breast or braised beef short rib. Instead of a traditional wedding cake for dessert, Lauren and Michael served gelato, which was a welcome treat in the Arizona heat.
As the evening went on, guests hit the dance floor, posed in the photo booth, and mingled with one another. And amid all the joy, laughter, and love, you could see that Lauren and Michael only had eyes for one another. It was the perfect day for these lovebirds — and we suspect the start of a very happy life together.
