Andrew and I were lucky to be part of the VOWS Wedding Collective and Everyday Show’s (Channel 2) Dream Wedding Giveaway.  Lauren and Archie have spent the past couple of months allowing the viewers of the Everyday Show to choose nearly every big and small detail of their wedding day.  From the venue to the dress and almost everything in between, Lauren and Archie graciously accepted every decision (in fact…I think they loved every decision) and enjoyed the whirlwind of planning an amazing wedding in only two months!  Kerri Butler with A Touch of Bliss had a fantastic vision for the big day and all of the VOWS vendors did an incredible job of creating the wedding of Lauren and Archie’s dreams.  We feel so blessed to have been a part of it!  Here is part one of some of our favorite pictures from the wedding.  Be sure to check back tomorrow for more of the beautiful details from Lauren and Archie’s wedding…enjoy!

Lauren’s gorgeous bridal gown was provided by Little White Dress Bridal Shop…the lace detail was absolutely stunning!

I loved Lauren’s adorable Luichiny shoes!  I couldn’t decide which picture to share, so I put in a few!

Lisa with Sweet Pea Flowers did an amazing job with all of the flowers for the wedding.  The bridesmaids bouquets consisted of beautiful succulents, calla lilies, peonies, peacock feathers and accents of copper wire…too cool!

Lauren spent the morning getting ready at the Magnolia Hotel.  Janine Schmenk with Makeup by Janine did a fabulous job with Lauren’s makeup and Gina Menapace with Salon Onyx at Sola Salon Studios did a great job with her hair!

Lauren and Archie’s wedding rings were provided by Jay Feder Jewelers…love this shot!

Lauren’s bouquet featured gorgeous orchids, peonies, calla lilies, roses, succulents and fun, flirty feathers.  How cool does that look?!?

Cate from Little White Dress was there to make sure that Lauren looked perfect in her dress and veil before heading down the aisle!

Gorgeous bride…

Boys will be boys…

All of the guys right before the ceremony…

A few more details from the day.  I loved the guys dark brown tuxes paired with the teal ties (Provided by Al’s Formal Wear) and the ladies teal bridesmaids dresses from Little White Dress.

All the ladies…

Lauren had her grandmother’s ring tied onto a string on her bouquet.  I love personal touches like that!

Cielo at Castle Pines has the perfect location for an outdoor ceremony and a grand hall for fabulous receptions!

After the ceremony, Andrew took Lauren and Archie up to Daniel’s Park while I stayed back and took a bunch of detail pictures.  I love these pictures that Andrew captured!

Lauren and Archie – we couldn’t be more happy and excited for you!  We are so happy that we were able to play a role in your very special day!  Congratulations!!

Much Love – Jessica (and Andrew too!)
