I think that if ever I had a wedding re-do…I would pull all of my inspiration from this very wedding. It’s exactly how I envision my world…laid back elegance, surrounded by friends and family, stylish, unfussy, simple. With tacos. And margaritas. Photographed to absolute perfection by Jill Thomas and designed straight from my wedding dreams by Carter & Cook Event Co, this is a wedding that you will bookmark and devour over and over again.

From Ashlyn with Carter & Cook Event Co…
Lauren + Caleb’s wedding day was one of the most thoughtful & special weddings I’ve been able to witness. Truly a celebration of joy and excitement while being surrounded by their closest family and friends. Lauren wanted to have her grandfather marry them – it was so personal and sweet.
They decided on the venue at Red Horse Barn for the outdoor, rustic space and we turned it into a lovely organic setting fill with lots of burlap and lace! Large descanso tables, custom made burlap and lace table runners, gold rope candles, wood crates filled with beautiful flowers & greenery, balsa wood and gardenias and potted succulents created a fresh and natural environment.
Lauren and Caleb wanted great food and guests to truly enjoy the best party! Tamales, chips and salsa and various types of the most delicious Mexican tacos were served fresh from Jalisco’s Taco Cart while guests sipped on mason jars filled with margaritas and wood heart stir sticks. The night ended off right with old fashioned It’s-It ice cream sandwiches for dessert and lots and lots of hip dance moves.

Thank you so much for all the sweet comments! We are still re-living the day over and over in our heads. It was truly the best day/night of our lives and it made all the planning well worth it.
Abby, what a sweet note from you.. thank you!! Ashlyn Carter well knows that I started off every morning leading up to the wedding (still can't kick the habit) on your incredible website. I'm a big fan of yours.
To answer your questions:
- Bridesmaid Dresses (Heidi, you were right Ü) J Crew: Cotton Cady line -- Erica Dress in Navy Blue. Here is the link: http://www.jcrew.com/wedding/Wedding_Bridesmaid/dresses/cottoncady/PRDOVR~11428/11428.jsp
J Crew was really great and helpful with us. One of my bridesmaid is very tall and needed extra material and they were able to help us..
- The Dress (Melissa Sweet Liliana Dress) I was lucky enough to rent mine from a friend of a friend.

What an amazing wedding! Everything was so beautiful, and it looked like so much fun! I'm drooling over your food!! May I ask where your wedding band is from? It's gorgeous!!!!! s
So jealous - wedding at a barn! If only I could find one up here in Chicago, I would do it in a heartbeat! LOVE IT!
Can you tell me where the bridesmaids shoes are from, I love them!?
Hey girls! We are working on a fun buying guide for this wedding that will have all of the deets...so steal-worthy in my opinion. Should be up in 30 minutes.
Did anyone notice the beautiful blue flower ring the bride was wearing? Who is the designer...would love to buy that ring!
Precious wedding.
What about the bridesmaid shoes?? They are the perfect color & heel height for us tall girls out there!
I'm slightly obsessed with those table runners...it's actually even great inspiration for home decor!
I LOVE the color palette of this wedding event! The photographer did an amazing job - the images represented here captured it beautifully!
Holly - thanks for your note about my ring. My grandma gave it to me when I was a little girl. It is a 4 leaf clover with a diamond in the middle.. it was my something blue. Wish I could tell you where to get one.
Also -- For those of you looking into making a wedding website. My friend Tiffany is incredible (I think) and she made ours. www.laurencaleb.com
Here is the link to her website if you are interested: http://www.makemyweddingwebsite.com/
Wow beautiful wedding girls... you did a superb job!!!
Lauren,
I absolutely adore your shoes!
Were these the Kate Spade Lora (higher heel) or the Miranda (2inch heels) and did you find them comfortable? And a bit of a wierd question...how many toes does the shoe show?
That dress is darling!
I love her dress, the BM dresses & flowers! gorgeous wedding- I want to copy it exactly!! :)
Beautiful pictures!
I Love this wedding it's everything I imagined! I was going to serve a taco bar at mine also, But didn't know how it would come across. They made taco's classy! I love it!
What an amazing wedding! Everything was so beautiful, and it looked like so much fun! I'm drooling over your food!! May I ask where your wedding band is from? It's gorgeous!!!!!
