A Faith-Filled Celebration: Lauren + Elyas | La Palmilla Glenrose TX
Lauren and Elyas’ wedding at La Pamilla in Glen Rose, TX is set to be nothing short of beautiful, reflecting both their deep faith and their vibrant personalities. When I asked them to describe their wedding style, they couldn’t quite pin it down to one word—it’s a wonderful mix of elegant, traditional, modern, floral, and adventurous. And really, what better way to describe two people who embrace both the classic beauty of tradition and the excitement of the new?
The colors they’ve chosen—terracotta, champagne, and blush pink—are the perfect complement to the natural, rustic charm of La Pamilla’s outdoor garden and historic church setting. With natural light filtering through the trees and candles adding a soft glow to the chapel, these earthy and romantic tones will create a warm, intimate atmosphere, reflecting the love Lauren and Elyas share.
The ceremony itself is where their faith will truly shine. For them, this moment is about much more than just exchanging vows. It begins with their first look in the chapel, a moment of anticipation and excitement. But what truly sets their ceremony apart is the family prayer and the act of washing each other’s feet—a deeply meaningful tradition that symbolizes their commitment to serve one another, in love and humility. It’s a powerful reminder of the foundation they’ve built their relationship on: faith, service, and grace.
One of the sweetest moments will undoubtedly come during the “getting ready” time, where three generations of women in Lauren’s family will be present. Having these strong women by her side as she prepares to walk down the aisle adds a special, generational connection to the day. It’s a beautiful reflection of the legacy of love and faith passed down through her family.
Of course, weddings often come with complex family dynamics, and Lauren’s relationship with her father is one of those layers. While they’ve been growing closer, there are still challenges, and this day will be significant in their journey toward healing and trust. Elyas, on the other hand, will deeply feel the absence of his father, who passed away in 2015, but his mother—now a widow—will proudly stand by him. Despite the ups and downs, both Lauren and Elyas are grounded in their faith, which carries them through even the hardest moments.
With a small gathering of just 30-35 guests, the intimacy of their wedding will make every moment more personal and heartfelt. Instead of a traditional bridal party, Lauren will be surrounded by her sisters and close family women, adding a touch of closeness to the day. It’s a wedding that’s all about quality over quantity, allowing the couple to really soak in the joy of the occasion with those who matter most.
When it comes to the photography, Lauren and Elyas are drawn to a moody, romantic style, which fits perfectly with the venue’s natural light and candlelit spaces. They want their photos to reflect their fun, lighthearted love—filled with laughter and sweet, flirty moments. Their love languages, touch and affirmation, shine through in how they interact with one another, making each candid shot a reflection of their connection.
Another lovely detail is that their ceremony will be unplugged—keeping everyone present in the moment, without the distractions of phones or cameras. It’s a chance for their guests to truly witness their vows, fully focused on the significance of the day.
Looking ahead, Lauren and Elyas want their wedding photos to be timeless reminders of this beautiful chapter in their lives. They envision flipping through their albums or seeing prints on their walls 20 years from now and feeling the same love and joy they do today. Their story is one of faith, laughter, and intimacy—a perfect reflection of the journey they are about to embark on together. {{To see their love again at their engagement session CLICK HERE}}
