Lots of smiles and laughs during hair and makeup! I cherished this down time together with my favorite girls.

I had never felt closer to my sisters than in this moment. I was grateful for their beautiful words of encouragement.

Chic, simple, timeless accessories. The necklace and earrings were custom-designed gifts from my mother that I will always treasure.

I wore a custom Elizabeth Fillmore gown. It was a simple, slender, silk silhouette. If I had to pick an inspiration for the dress, it would be Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy. It was definitely that look and feel.

I remember thinking of how many times my mother had helped me zip up a dress, and this was the most important one yet. This moment was so vulnerable and wonderful all at once.

My favorite girls, all looking beautiful in their Jenny Yoo airy, chiffon dresses and wearing the earrings I gave them as bridesmaids' gifts.

Full of joy, love, and happiness.

Handsome complements to my groom’s wardrobe. The cufflinks match those given to our groomsmen as gifts.

A priceless moment between mother and son.

Having a private, intimate first look was a major priority for us. We wanted those few moments together, where it could be just US, before we joined our family and friends. I chose not to wear my removable tulle skirt here, so my look would still be somewhat of a surprise, when he saw me at the end of the aisle.

This was just after our first look. I'll NEVER forget how handsome he looked in his tuxedo waiting to be my husband. WOW!

Josh said, "Having my grandpa as my best man was an unforgettable experience. He’s my best friend”.

Josh’s nearest and dearest friends. His grandfather was the life of the party!

Emerson Jack. He is my hero...The most adorable ring bearer and the best musician in the family!

I couldn't believe these were my last few moments as Lauren York. Feeling my dad next to me gave me the strength I needed. Seeing Josh standing tall and proud at the altar was my favorite moment of the entire night. I'd never felt more loved by him than in that moment.

A quick glance back at all of my loved ones!

The pastor was Josh's dad! How special is that? It made for such a personal and calming ceremony because he knows us both so well. He was able to deliver the most unique homily—one that could never be duplicated and that was so particular to us.

I couldn't wait to kiss my groom the entire day. This moment was an explosion of excitement. I cried happy tears all over his face. He had to wipe them away as they announced our name.

Meet Mr. & Mrs. Swickard!

Intimate moments between husband and wife.

We adored our guests waving the personalized hankies outside the church as we departed. It was the perfect detail in our quest for an Old Hollywood day.

Josh had just dipped me and given me the biggest kiss—I think this was him celebrating the fact that he didn't drop me!

We departed in a vintage 1963 Rolls-Royce.

I remember seeing everyone smiling just as big as we were. I was so excited to celebrate and hug all of the people who came out to celebrate our love!

These portraits were such a great time for Josh and I to spend time alone as husband and wife. I could not kiss him enough!

We loved being on this farm with the horses. Josh and I met on the movie set of Roped, which was a film about a cowboy, so horses played an integral role in our love story. Seeing them on our wedding, brought us back to where it all began.

We somehow managed to skirt the rain for our cocktail hour in the gardens. A stunning spot to welcome our guests to the reception.

We are both dancers, and we wanted our first dance to be EPIC. This was the most fun we've ever had dancing together! Our friends LOVED it. We danced an "ode" to our favorite movie, White Christmas.

Despite a slight wardrobe malfunction and a giant tree that fell on the dance floor just an hour before our performance (applause to our wedding planner, Lindsey—she saved the day), the dance was everything we could have hoped for; it was perfect.

We had a very specific vision of the dance floor for the first dance outside, under the trees with everyone circled around us. The choreography created some challenges due to space restrictions on site, but we made it work, and it was definitely a highlight of the day!

In the dinner tent, we had a mix of high and low arrangements, all packed with white florals and greens. There was a mix of round, square, and long tables with white linens in varying textures of lace, beading, and embroidery. We used grey-silver and blush as accent colors and had smoke and blush wine glasses at each place setting. We also brought in lucite Napoleon-style chairs, another nod to days of old, and a black and white checkered dance floor furthered the Old Hollywood theme.

As much as we had discussed the vision, I was still completely blown away when I walked into that space! Nothing could have prepared me for the magical transformation that had happened in that tent.

The three rectangular head tables, which framed the dance floor, had long, uninterrupted floral garlands down the center and hanging installations above which incorporated floating globes with candles.

Personalized menu cards were tucked inside the dinner napkins, which were embroidered with my new monogram and hand-tied with a simple, chic, silk ribbon. Details, details, details!

We also used blush florals on the three rectangular head tables, which created a rosy glow in the center of the room.

The wedding cake was a classic lemon olive oil cake with strawberry filling and vanilla icing—simple but divine.
44 of 49
We chose to cut the cake on the dance floor as guests entered the tent. This allowed us to get some of the “ceremonial” duties out of the way, so we could relax and enjoy the rest of the evening!

The speeches were so heartfelt. I was in absolute awe.

Josh’s grandfather again, stealing the show!! The last time he gave a best man speech was in 1947.

The father-daughter dance was so emotionally wonderful—I just couldn't stop thinking about my parents and how lucky I was to have them. We danced around our house countless times.

We wanted to make sure we had a high-energy band. Liquid Blue Band delivered on all fronts. Every single guest was on the dance floor, from youngest to oldest.

I LOVE all of these girls...the one who caught the bouquet is truly "next!" I can FEEL it!
