The way he’s so involved you can see the love he has for you through the screen it makes me so happy for you 😭🥰 oh boy I cross my fingers maybe one day …

[@Lgm1163]

He literally was on his phone the whole time 😭

[@stephearley3141]

Yeah when he was behind her and hugged her ❤ so sweet

[@agladwish3821]

He’s actually not really been involved at all. They said on WT9 that Jeremy has no interest in planning the wedding and is basically just going with Lauren’s decisions. Equally as cute tho

[@Lgm1163]

@@agladwish3821 sure lol

[@caitlinjoy2828]

I coordinated a wedding with no bridal party. It was amazing. They missed out on nothing and it was more welcoming for all the friends to just pick what parts of wedding events they could attend without pressure

[@laurDIYvlogs]

love this attitude and vibe!!!

[@eyeseajujubee]

I’m so happy that Moose and Diggy will be part of the wedding and it’s so sweet they’ll have babysitters 🐶💖

[@gabiteas]

I love how he just holds you when he senses like you slightly spiraling. I’m not done with the vlog, but like I’m dying from cuteness and happiness for you both. I could cry. I may cry.

[@krystlerae74]

Broccoli bloat so relatable. If there’s an apocalypse I’m not even trying. I’d get taken out by consuming a raw bell pepper

[@laurDIYvlogs]

HAHAHAHAHAH SO REAL

[@ralucaungureanu6901]

The aesthetic of your wedding arrangements gives Spring Court🙈

[@laurDIYvlogs]

IM SCREAAMINGGGGGG

[@ralucaungureanu6901]

Same, girl! Same!!!!💖

[@HeySuzie1]

No Bridal Party is a FANTASTIC IDEA. If there was one thing I could redo that would have been the number 1 thing I would have changed. It was stressful brigning people together. I love that your going to do that. Also, your friends/family can wear whatever they want to your wedding.

[@taylorcolbeck7214]

lauren saying its crazy how fast time is passing, lauren ive been watching you for close to 10 years. yes it is crazy how fast time flies. watching you throughout the years and now you are getting married...gosh im so happy for you and jeremy. so much respect and love to you both

[@claireport22]

Jeremy hugging her ugh you guys are so cute 🥺

[@Beautybarbie995]

100000% reccomend a chill honeymoon after! We had friends who went to Europe and they said they regretted it because they were so tired from the adrenaline of the wedding that they just wanted to relax. My husband and I went to Fiji and it was the best vacation I’ve ever been on. One of the best memories of my entire life

[@melissaruth4961]

Would love a video of tips after the wedding! Like what worked/didn’t

[@jekx6770]

Having worked at a wedding venue that did more weddings last year than days in the year (catching up from Covid still, most weeks we did two weddings a day Thursday to Sunday so 8 a week) I have learned so many things that I would never let happen at my own wedding one day but I know there’s going to be issues. But I know if I pick a good venue, vendors I trust and have experience with ( I have more than most people lol) read reviews and stay organized then problems can be solved in the moment both by venue staff and a day of contact who you assign to make decisions on your behalf that you know will make the right call that you would make yourself. The last thing you want is to be asked a million questions and feel like you’re repeating yourself.

[@Lisa-vp1wk]

The colours for your wedding are the most laurdiy vibes ever and I’m living for it! I’m glad you stuck true to what you love and your style!

[@geuhhh]

laur!! i’m sure you’ve already thought of all this but make sure your gut is completely used to alcohol and heavy foods again after 75 hard before your wedding! loved this vlog btw and so so happy for you!!

[@katherinedemarco6377]

I had my wedding in 2022 -Did a first look before the ceremony, LOVED IT! Beautiful intimate moment and actually made the ceremony more relaxed and fun. Also just makes sense when looking at the timeline -Took 20 mins to eat dinner alone together, absolutely a highlight of the day -No bridal party, great way to simplify what is already a crazy day. Still had a bachelorette party and friends had no issues at all with this decision Have a great day!

[@katherinedemarco6377]

Also didn't do favors! No one missed them

[@phenomenalfeminine]

yes queen spill it ALL I’m so happy for your and TSJ’s new journey 🤩💛

[@laurDIYvlogs]

😭❤️

[@daydreamers2260]

Can we get a video of Jeremy’s reaction to seeing the everything at the wedding for the first time? 😂❤ PLEASE!!

[@JCamcrew]

I love that you love colors! The flowers and table scape are so cute already. Can’t wait to see it all finished on your wedding!!! ❤❤❤

[@brisalas7806]

Seeing Lauren so happy and excited for her wedding makes me so happy and nostalgic ❤

[@raniabhasin3169]

So random but thank you for actually appreciating colour for your table decor! I know each to their own but the amount of all white or white and silver only table decor sometimes makes me a bit sad, so I love that you’re embracing the colour !!

[@st14782]

I love how different everyone’s style is bc I am that clean white simple boring colorless wedding kinda gal. But i love seeing how happy an abundance of color makes Lauren and others!

[@kiki8788]

Omggg Lauren, I'm so excited and happy for you! Thank you for sharing this part of your life with us

[@irenesiao5246]

I’ve been super overwhelmed with wedding planning but watching your Q&A had me smiling like crazy! What an exciting time!!! I can’t wait to see all your plans come together😭🫶🏼

[@flowergamer5155]

Love that you are in such good place in your life right now and just appear to be enjoying life. I hope you and and Jeremy have a magical wedding day ❤

[@sineghaananth8912]

Been watching you for years and you’ve always been such a colourful person, and being someone that loves colour myself, I’m so happy that your staying true to yourself! All the best to u always, we are here w u every step of the way❤️

[@tracienorville5612]

We did our first look before the wedding and afterwards we went ahead and did alot of the pics with the wedding party. I was so glad bcuz that freed up so much time we could spend with our guest and soak up the night. The entire day can be a blur so don't blink!!! Congratulations I'm so excited for you❤

[@laurDIYvlogs]

yes that’s 100% where our heads are at too!

[@amberspade15]

EEK YES!! im so excited to watch this lauren!!!!👏🏽💗

[@AngelicaWalters]

this was the content i was WAITING FOR! Please please please make/show more wedding content ahhhhhh

[@rschic2009]

I had my honeymoon in Cancun at a gorgeous resort. It was so nice to relax and do nothing after the stress and chaos of wedding planning! I highly recommend a relaxing honeymoon. You have the rest of your lives together to travel anywhere. Take some time to recharge after such a large event. Love all the wedding content! The colors are so fun!

[@paisleigh1989]

by writing own vows - some people choose to use the basic provided ones rather than make up their own (not usually hire someone to write them!) im so excited for you two!

[@claudiaramone5781]

We did a mini-moon chill weekend afterward and then planned for a European trip two years after. It was so fun having something else to plan after wedding planning ends, plus a way to celebrate anniversary. Also, my favorite thing was having a special dinner one month post married because post wedding blues are real.

[@annabellaboo405]

I went to St Martin (French side) in the Caribbean for our honeymoon, it's seriously so beautiful with tons to do! The people there are really what make the trip!

[@lifeaskpointer8731]

I love how much color you have incorporated into your wedding! I think we forget that colors are beautiful and can be aesthetic too! 💕

[@Kh0p3]

YESS HERE FOR THE WEDDING DECOR CONTENT 🥹🥹

[@Elizabeth-M2024]

I’m so excited to see how everything comes together, and so excited for you!!! As someone who is also engaged but hasn’t started planning, if you’d be comfortable with it, I’d love a cost breakdown afterwards ☺️

[@meggzilla009]

The guests at your wedding are so blessed to experience wedding LaurDIY. ❤

[@viviannguyen5861]

Honeymoon Rec! Wedding planning is a lot, decision fatigue is real. I would personally recommend something easy and relaxing. We did Hawaii because we know what we are getting ourselves into, it’s warm, relaxing, and don’t need to do much planning. My husband and I basically spent time sleeping, eating, and laying out. It was exactly what we needed. Post wedding brain hangover is real.

[@iampusheen]

Sooo excited for all the wedding content 🤍💍 I got married last year and getting to see you live your best bride era is just everything 🥺🥰 also loving the heart sweater 💕

[@rafaellaycaza]

Love the wedding’s aesthetic!! It is so you🩷

[@katiewingler6512]

girl, having no bridal party was the best decision i made for our wedding. 10/10 recommend lol also had both of my parents walk me down the aisle and it was so so so special. i also did a slow dance with both my mom and my dad, so they each got their own song to dance with me to, and i LOVE the photos from both and will treasure them forever!

[@poke1855]

YESSSSS MORE LAUREN ALWAYS. ❤❤❤. ALL THE WEDDING CONTENT 😊

[@d.i.y.carley8985]

Lauren and Jeremy are relationship goals lol you can tell during their podcasts and the vlogs just how well they suit each other ❤

[@jocelynmactavish7852]

The way this is the most invested I’ve ever been in a wedding because I genuinely love the pod so much and have watched Lauren since I was like 12 and I’m 21 now. Like actually the other day I was talking about the wedding to my friend who’s getting married soon and was genuinely gonna be so sad if there wasn’t a wedding video released after when I’ve never ever watched one of those for anyone else lol

[@sandratiger8815]

I'm snowed in with nothing to do. Now I have something to do. So happy to see you thriving in your bride era!

[@usagimoon.x.o6256]

I'm getting married this year and I'm taking down notes as I'm watching this. Thanks! I'm so happy for this wedding planning series!❤

[@astrovrse]

i love how colourful ur theme is!! it's so you

[@kirti9085]

your relationship has the best vibes and omfg It feels like we're all doing this with you everytime you upload

[@katrina1646]

Loved seeing the process of the wedding journey, I am so excited for you both! ❤ p.s that pink jumper with the hearts is to die for.

[@carolinearmstrong8009]

hope you are able to enjoy the planning process of the wedding!! It can get stressful and overwhelming but it’s so fun at the same time, make sure you are able to take a step back and breathe during the planning process!!

[@Emily_Borges101]

I can't wait for more wedding content BTW Jeremy is the sweetest. You're so lucky to have him, Lauren

[@RadhikaVanjara]

It’s so funny the wedding content made me ridiculously nostalgic cos I realized how much we’ve all grown up since early LaurDIY days! Like I still make the freakin mug brownie that was in one of the OLD Canada videos and now I’m an “adult” married woman watching Lauren get married like HOLY SHIT how time flies 🥹

[@shescuteandcasual]

Not having a bridal party either! The amount of ease I feel is unmatched. Wooo!! 💖✨

[@LenaPhommavanh]

The wedding videos are my favoriteeeeeee please keep posting more related content! I need help planning my own 😭

[@fg1193]

Oh lauren I can’t stop crying and squeaking for you!!! I love the fact you want to enjoy the food and drink, healthy for someone (as a UK listener) who knows LA can be pretty toxic. I’m so excited for you!!!!!!

[@andreasigala8346]

I love hair updates! Always turns out amazing it all looks so good on you! So excited for you! I cant believe youre getting married 🎉

[@charlottechiarelli7894]

I’m a wedding planner in Switzerland, and I’m getting married this year also. I’m the one who asked about the wedding trends because I am putting so mush pressure on myself because of that 😅😭. Thank you so much for answering my question ! Love your videos and it has been a pleasure to follow along your planning ✨

[@thejoannama]

I did the SAME EXACT THING for my rentals appointment! I had it in my calendar for a few hours after and I had to jump out of bed so fast and SPED there

[@MarisssaHope]

I got married last November and we went to St Lucia for our honeymoon😍 I CANNOT recommend it enough (we stayed at Anse Chastenet resort- literally THE most insane place I’ve ever been) It’s the perfect mix between laying on a beach and relaxing with a drink and adventures in the jungle/ ocean😍😍😍

[@alexislepe4835]

Ahh !! I need more deets on St Lucia🥹 that’s my #1 contender for honeymoon!! What number do you think I should be looking at for grand total?

[@fg1193]

Oh all these plans sound so fucking perfect. I can’t wait to see the videos you’re showing with us and thank you for showing anything to us!!!

[@3lc0rr3A]

Can't wait to see how well the wedding planning develops as the date approaches!

[@veronicasvideodiaries]

Your hair looks stunning and the theme being super colorful is so exciting 💕

[@marccolomayt82094]

This most awaited wedding content❤❤

[@rachelhill8847]

I love your hair when it’s straight! It looks so healthy and long❤16:38

[@sarahmcmaster641]

LOVE LOVE LOVE IT ALL!! Thank you for answering my flower question 🌸 I love those too!

[@elise85391]

Honestly, I love that y’all are doing a funfetti cake!! It’s so fun, and you already know it’s gonna be good, cause it’s funfetti!!!

[@hermalianaidoo]

A 46 MINUTE VLOGGGG, ANDD WEDDING CONTENT!!!

[@haileypurvins8225]

I love being in my bridal era with some of my favorite content creators. I really appreciate you sharing your experiences thus far. My fiancé and I decided no wedding party, at first I was hesitant. I started to weigh out the pros and cons and honestly there were more cons. Thank you for talking about why your not having a wedding party either. And as I see with a handful of other brides in the comments, it’s more “normal “ than I thought. Also where is your heart sweatshirt from bc I need it immediately.

[@lturner4965]

Love the hair, with or without extensions..GORGEOUS ❤

[@laurentrvn]

13:58 RIGHT I DIDNT KNOW THAT CINNAMONROLL WAS BOY I THOUGHT IT GIRL WELP

[@VKfoodday]

Hahaha the “everything, everything” for the cost question had me cracking up😂 love how real you keep it girl!

[@pamheesakkers]

Girl, your sweaters with the hearts🤩🤩🤩

[@laurDIYvlogs]

I am a violent outfit repeater I’m obsessed with it HAHAHA

[@Fluteandcry]

I'm obsessed with it! Where's it from????

[@thejoannama]

One of my friends is doing a first look down the aisle! That way Jeremy can get that first look aisle experience

[@AmyM0192]

So exciting to see things coming together! I think the vows question was more referring to writing your own vs. using traditional ones. Not hiring someone to write them for you😆

[@nataliebyrd23]

I just got married in December and we did not have a bridal party and I would not have wanted it any other way. I wanted everyone to enjoy themselves and feel no responsibility for our wedding. So happy for you!💗🥂

[@chanowol4700]

Lauren you look soo pretty with that heart sweater! It’s adorable

[@gollyitslolly2]

My husband and I came home after our wedding and it was so so special!! We LOVED it. We even waited to leave for our honeymoon until Monday night (we got married on Saturday) because we wanted to rest. Also for honeymoon tips, everyone told us not to plan a jam packed trip and they were right. You will be exhausted after your wedding. You can still have a fun and memorable honeymoon but definitely leave breathing room in your itinerary. We had one specific thing planned to do each day and it was the perfect amount of exploring and doing stuff vs relaxing and resting.

[@autumnhanks3857]

I got so lucky that the Queen of diy is planning a wedding at the same time as me!!! I’m learning so much

[@cdebruyn]

That Bach shirt is so cute! And I love that you had in mind that it could be worn again like a cute graphic tee! ❤

[@Rose-bg9xr]

Your wedding vibes is reminding me of mia maples wedding a few years back!

[@kellyj528]

Love your humor. Also your hair looks beautiful! And yes to wearing soft pants, my favorite!

[@ChristieAllyson]

we did the Maldives and Kenya for our honeymoon and it was peak perfection. we have 5 days of beach with butler service in the Maldives and then got the active adventure (including hot air ballooning) in Kenya. the pictures we got are so surreal and I cannot recommend both places (or combining beach + adventure) enough.

[@styledbyjordan]

Ahh love that moose and diggy will be there! You will love not having the bridal party (as a bridal stylist) I have seen sooo many brides never regret that decision! I also love that you want alll the color! I went to a wedding recently where the dress code was “upstage the bride” and it was like a fashion show to say the least! So fun! Can’t wait for you two to get married!

[@leeloslife2475]

Love all the color!!! You will be a beautiful bride! Can't wait to see all of your hard work in planning! Me and my husband slept in our bed after our wedding BUT only cause we went on our Honeymoon the next day (airline messed up our flight and it ended up moving from Mon to Sun after our wedding so we had to leave our family that came behind) but we went to Aruba. This was in 2009 but it was lovely! Congrats and can't wait to see more wedding content!

[@ZoeChilders]

Loving the wedding content ❤

[@emmabc01]

Long Laurdiy vlog is the best way to spend a morning ❤

[@MissMagical344]

I got married at the end of 2022 & let me tell you the wedding blues are real after it's over! I was never even someone who dreamed of a wedding or getting married and had a small wedding, but still afterwards I had the blues. All that planning and then it's just over lol.

[@ceskeeler]

We were stationed in Hawaii when we got married which is a huge honeymoon destination so we decided to spend a couple nights in a cabin in the mountains after our wedding in NC to have time away from the beach and relax just the two of us. Once we got back to Hawaii after our wedding, we took a bunch long weekend trips to island hop across Hawaii and do big activities (helicopter tours, manta ray night snorkels, whale watching, etc.) through the following year! It was much better than one big trip having everything split up and not spend as much money at once! We were just so lucky to be living there to make it possible!

[@gwh2100]

My husband and I went to breakfast together just us before the day really started & it was so special and a slow way to start one of the busiest days ever!

[@ln8267]

I absolutely would not have been able to get married without my bridal party. Honestly, my husband and I’s friends are so close to us that we loved having a bridal party but it’s to each their own! ❤❤

[@Anyababe]

Don’t have wedding planners put too much in your head with colors or ideas. If you like the white choose white! This is something I wish i did more of planning mine 😂

[@pearlmiran205]

So excited for you and Jeremy! I listen to the pod and have enjoyed hearing about wedding planning. My husband and I got married on November 4th, 2023 at los verdes golf course in Ranchos PV so a lot of our vendors. areactually from Torrance/South Bay! it was the perfect day. We also did not have a bridal party or a grooms party- best decision ever. For us personally, our friends are all over the world and trying to coordinate just didn’t make sense for us- especially because we weren’t attached to the idea to begin with. We DID have a friends and family photo time where our closest friends (aka whoever we would have picked as bridesmaids and groomsmen) so we got some gorgeous professional individual photos with them so that’s just a tip I have 😊

[@JCamcrew]

AJ Raphael and Alyssa Also Phillip and Helen had a social media dedicated friend to get clips for social media and TikTok trends they wanted to do. Which was such a good idea. For us watching ahahah cause we nosey and can’t wait for the videographer to send the legit ones 😂❤ But up to you! Just thought I’d bring that up!! I’m sure you already were aware But we are so excited for you and Jeremy!!!!!! Weeeeeee

[@dakoytastargazer]

So excited for the wedding vid I am going to sob tears 😭 ❤

[@cadeliajoseph03]

I’m obsessed with that sweater🩷🩷🩷

[@jordanwierschem6691]

It rained the morning of our wedding as we were driving to the venue, but by the time we were ready and taking pictures, it was a perfectly clear day and the ground wasn’t wet, it really was good luck!

[@kimwest221]

Where did you get the pink heart sweater!!!!! I am SO stoked to see this wedding, couldn't be happier for you guys

[@Kase1313]

The colorful vibe is so stunning! 🌈✨🫶🏻 I loooove how true to self your being and Jeremy is hilarious with his QR code menu 😂

[@alexandrajanthony]

My fiancé and I aren’t having a bridal party! We are still having a bachelor & bachelorette party with our friends and family but honestly the no wedding party is so chill! I know a few other people who did it and loved it as well! 💗

[@sarahgordon4789]

My hubby and I went on a cruise to the Bahamas for our honeymoon. It was fun getting to meet other newlyweds and the weather was perfect.

[@victoriaashley8403]

I didn’t have a bridal party for my wedding in August 2023 and it was a THE BEST DECISION My day was already pretty stressful so not having to worry about the bridal party being happy healthy and thriving was a blessing I wish I would have gone done something with all my girlfriends like a bachelorette party or trip like you’re doing, but just wasn’t in the budget.

[@Sincerelywendyy]

I can’t wait to see the bachelorette activities 😮❤

[@kaila8175]

We did Funfetti for the wedding cake and loved it !! Everyone raved about it too
