Laura and Christopher decided to have their wedding at The Lalumondiere River Mill and Gardens after searching for unconventional wedding locations in St. Louis, and the place looked like a fairy tale for their special day. Wanting something feminine that would blend in well with the outdoor surroundings, the couple settled on a color palette of ivory, light pinks, faint peach, and sage green. They customized every bit of their wedding, from having their twin boys walk Laura down the isle to having Laura’s father officiate the wedding. They even incorporated music from their favorite score composer, John Williams, into both the ceremony and the first dances at the reception.
