Lauren Early and Joe Vastano met in college at Texas A&M University, where they started dating and eventually got engaged. For their wedding, Lauren envisioned a traditional ceremony at her childhood church, followed by a French garden cocktail hour and a romantic chateau reception. The reception, held at Hotel Vin, featured custom-made decor, including hand-built pedestals, wallpapered panels, and an escort board, created by Joe’s parents. The couple’s 250-guest wedding included a string quartet, a DJ, and a late-night rooftop after-party.
