Some weddings strike the perfect balance of modern elegance and personal charm, and Lauren and Preston’s May celebration was exactly that. Set against the backdrop of a sun-drenched patio and a sleek barn interior, their day unfolded in soft hues of mint and blush with stylish black and white details. Let’s take a look inside their stunning day!
Effortless Bridal Style (with a Sneaker Twist)
Lauren wowed in a simple yet sophisticated fit-and-flare gown, featuring a corset bodice with a wrapped sweetheart neckline and a sweeping train that flowed effortlessly behind her. A floor-length pearl-dotted veil added a timeless touch, catching the light in the late spring sun. Her bouquet was a dreamy composition of blush and white roses, with plenty of airy texture that felt equal parts romantic and modern.
But perhaps the best detail? Her custom Nike Air Forces adorned with pearls and embroidery reading “Mrs. Henry.” It was the ultimate playful twist on bridal style, perfectly capturing Lauren’s laid-back personality.
Meanwhile, her bridesmaids brought subtle color into the day, wearing elegant mismatched dresses in soft mint blue. Their matching blush and white bouquets tied everything together in a fresh, cohesive palette.
A Sunny Outdoor Ceremony
Lauren and Preston exchanged vows on the patio outside the barn, framed by a large wooden arbor draped with lush greenery and delicate white blooms. With minimal décor and simple white seating, the natural beauty of the season did most of the work. Proving that sometimes understated details make the biggest impact.
Preston and his crew complemented the breezy palette in sharp gray suits with matching vests. The groomsmen added a pop of mint with their ties, while Preston stood out in classic white. Matching rose boutonnieres finished their look with a subtle nod to Lauren’s bouquet.
A Chic Black & White Reception
Guests made their way into the modern barn, greeted by a sleek mirror seating chart that set the tone for the stylish evening ahead. Inside, round tables draped in crisp white linens were accented by black flatware and napkins for a striking contrast. Frosted acrylic table numbers and pools of blush runners added a hint of softness.
Centerpieces were thoughtfully composed: clusters of amber bud vases, hurricane glasses with floating candles, and modern black candelabras created a warm, inviting glow. At the head of the room, the wedding party gathered around a long banquet table adorned with a lush runner of greenery and baby’s breath, echoing the florals on Lauren and Preston’s pearl-studded cake.
Dancing, Golden Hour & A Grand Send-Off
As the evening continued, guests enjoyed dinner and dancing, culminating in Lauren and Preston’s heartfelt first dance. Soon after, the newlyweds slipped away for golden hour portraits, soaking in a few quiet moments together as the sun dipped below the horizon.
They wrapped up the night with a joyful send-off, surrounded by family and friends who cheered them on to their next adventure — a perfect finish to a day that was truly them.
