Friends since meeting at summer camp before embarking on a long-distance relationship while in college, Lauren and David got engaged in New Orleans, beneath the city’s iconic “Tree of Life.” As the bride recounts, “He got down on one knee and once I said, ‘Yes,’ my entire family came out from behind the trees to surprise me and celebrate with us New Orleans style!” For their summer wedding in Houston, “We wanted everything to be romantic and classic, to reflect us as a couple,” Lauren says. From the flower arrangements to the wedding programs, to the pastel colors of the bridesmaids’ dresses, “My biggest goal for our summer wedding was for the guests to enjoy themselves,” Lauren says, “and they did 100 times over!”
