My dear friend Lauren married her Tyler-bred sweetie, Austin, in our hometown of Abilene, TX this summer. It was a gorgeous event: the definition of traditional elegance. Lauren was such a stunning bride, made all the lovelier by her groom “arm-candy”!

As I was preparing for the wedding I realized there is something so indescribably special about making a bridal bouquet for your friend of 20+ years! I know Lauren right down to the tee, and just could not wait to see the look on her face when she held her bouquet for the first time. Lauren gave me total “creative authority” and I was certain it would be exactly what she would love. Of course, I love making ALL bridal bouquets, but I certainly wish I knew all of our brides that well!

Congrats to Lauren and Austin!
