A Destination Wedding at The Bamboo Gallery: Lauren and Hayden
Lauren and Hayden are MARRIED!! They had their destination wedding at the beautiful Bamboo Gallery in Davie, FL. This venue is a little hidden gem on the coast of Florida. It is surrounded by tropical trees and has the perfect space for an intimate ceremony and reception.
The first time I talked to Lauren on the phone we just clicked! She not only told me all about their dream wedding, but also how they just love the Lord and each other. I could tell right away Hayden and Lauren were best friends and could not wait to be married. They are both so thoughtful and kind. The entire family has the sweetest southern charm. We felt so welcomed and loved by everyone!
Capturing the Wedding Details
I started the day spending time with the girls as they got ready and captured Lauren’s stunning bridal details. The Desert Rose color palate was breathtaking! I was absolutely blown away by the gorgeous flowers her florist gave me for flat lays. What a dream!
When the girls got dressed at The Bamboo Gallery, Lauren shared a “first look” with her bridesmaids, father, and her grandmother. Everyone’s smiles and tears were so contagious! The relationship Hayden and Lauren have is like no other. They are so deeply in love with one another and everyone knows it!
Emotional Moments and the Ceremony
Before even turning around, Hayden got emotional during their “first look”. The moment he saw his bride, he could barely stand. There was not a dry eye in sight! The wedding ceremony was just as intimate and sweet. When they shared their first kiss, sparks flew! Literally!
The Reception and Celebration
At the reception, the bridal party tore up the dance floor! One of my favorite memories of the night is when Lauren’s grandmother, Mama Carol, showed everyone how to really dance! Hayden’s guys also surprised everyone with a fun performance to “Ice Ice Baby.” They had everyone laughing so hard tears were coming out!
The wedding planner, Megan, did a phenomenal job throughout the entire event. During the reception, she set up a Smore’s Bar for the guests to enjoy (with Reeses!). It was a huge hit! Hayden and Lauren ran through a sparkler exit to end the night. With their close family and friends all around cheering, it was the best send off!
