Portraits

rw-lawren-jesse-1-0811wds107012.jpg

Music and fashion go hand in hand. There's David Bowie and Iman. Seal and Heidi Klum. And now Jesse, a drummer, and Lawren, a celebrity stylist, who made it official in the California sunshine.

Lawren, who is originally from Mississippi, and Jesse, a California native, wanted guests to be relaxed and comfortable -- and above all, to have a blast. "Our No. 1 goal was that nobody would look at their watch the entire time," says Jesse.

The Bride's Bouquet

The Invitation Suite

rw-collage-0811mwd107598.jpg

The groom's bandmate Will Etling designed the folk-art-inspired paper details. The invitation suite "really set the tone," says Jesse. "Before the wedding, at least 10 people mentioned how cool they were." An activities packet (top right) kept the theme alive on the big day.

The Wedding Party

rw-bridesmaids-0811mwds107012.jpg

Bridesmaids, wearing vintage dresses in rainbow sherbet hues, surrounded the bride who chose a strapless French-lace Monique Lhuillier gown for herself. "I'm always dressing other people up, so I was really excited to put on something fancy," she says.

The Venue

rw-lawren-jesse-2-0811wds107012.jpg

The couple decided to wed on Willow Creek Farm in Paso Robles, California, a bucolic plot of land right next door to Jesse's childhood home. And their chosen picnic theme (with a heavy dose of Southern flair to celebrate Lawren's roots) became as collaborative as a barn raising.
