She dished, “Here’s the funny thing: I wanted a small wedding and Cameron wanted a big wedding. So, we compromised — and had a 450-person guest list. I think it’s just a reflection of how fortunate we are — we have a lot of people who love us and we love a lot of people."
The couple wrote personal vows for the “heartfelt” ceremony, which also featured their two dogs and nieces and nephews.
Alaina said, “Our siblings all stood up there with us as we got married. And Cameron’s dad was his best man, which was super sweet.”
Lauren walked down the aisle in an Anne Barge gown.
The couple brought Sara Fried on as their wedding planner.
Sara revealed, “Fountains were overflowing with white flowers as Lauren and Cam exchanged vows under a beautiful floral arch. The wintery emerald green and gold color palette continued into the reception filled with lots of velvet, a custom floral canopy over the dance floor and of course, fun Southern details including cow hide rugs."
The two to have their honeymoon in Hawaii. She explained, “Neither one of us has been [there], so we’re very much looking forward to it.”
