Bush, who recently celebrated their upcoming nuptials in the Hamptons,  were married at the Double RL Ranch (RL stands Ralph and his wife Ricky Lauren) in Colorado. The ceremony took place on Sunday, but the entire weekend was centered around the wedding, with guests enjoying a picnic and softball game on the 17,000 acre Rocky Mountains estate. A post wedding rodeo is scheduled for today.

Among the 200 guests were former President George W. Bush and former First Lady Laura Bush, as well as cousing Jenna and Barbara Bush. The groom's parents and sister Dylan's Candy Bar owner (and newlywed) Dylan Lauren and Ivanka Trump.The bride's grandfather, former President George H.W. Bush, and grandmother, former First Lady Barbara Bush, were unable to attend but sent a video message. In order to merge the fashion senses of both families the dress code was "black tie with a Western twist."

Lauren's parents, Neil and Sharon Bush, walked her down the aisle in a dress designed by her father-in-law.

Lauren Bush and David Lauren celebrated their engagement last Saturday with an all-white themed engagement party in the Hamptons. The party of the granddaughter of former president George H.W. Bush and niece of former president George W. Bush and the son of designer Ralph Lauren was hosted by Hearst heiress Anne Hearst and her husband, Jay McInerney. Guests were all the Laurens, Rick and Kathy Hilton - parents of Paris and Nicky -, Lauren's mother Sharon Bush, and designers Cynthia Rowley and Douglas Hannant. The guests enjoyed cocktails, dinner and speeches by Sharon Bush and Rick Hilton.

The wedding will take place at the Colorado ranch of the Lauren family. Lauren's grandfather, George H.W. Bush is expected to attend. With so much 'Lauren' going on, what will Lauren Bush do with her surname? Stay Lauren Bush, become Lauren Lauren? "I think that it will be Lauren Bush-Lauren," she told People Magazine in April. "That's not final, but I think it's nice to have the same name as your husband. I am sort of old-fashioned that way." Whereas the name might change, choosing a wedding dress designer is a no-brainer, her future father-in-law, Ralph Lauren, will create a dress.

First look: Dylan Lauren's wedding dress revealed!

Dylan Lauren in her wedding dress designed by dad Ralph Lauren
Dylan Lauren, daughter of fashion designer Ralph Lauren, wed Paul Arrouet last month at the family Bedford Estate. Of course, when your dad is a famous fashion designer, you don't have to go wedding dress shopping,  but as the photo shows Ralph Lauren's design certainly exceeds any expectation anyone might have had. Dylan, 37, wore a handmade duchesse satin, silk tulle, georgette embroidered dress with a tiered train. It was protected by a security guard at Ralph Lauren's New York headquarters prior to the wedding.

No photos of the wedding were available, so it was unknown what the dress exactly looked like. However, Dylan poses for the August issue of Vogue in her dress, as a celebration to her marriage.

Ralph Lauren, 71, reportedly consulted his former protegée and bridalwear expert Vera Wang, when designing the dress. He told Oprah Winfrey in an interview in May that designing a wedding dress for his own daughter was an emotional experience. He said, "I had to do something that was better than ever before. When you do something for your family or your daughter, I mean it's the only daughter I have - beautiful girl." He continued, "I want to just give her something that she'd really treasure and give her something that would be really amazing. I want her to feel fantastic." He has succeeded, because Dylan described the dress as "the most amazing thing, because it's really stunning." She also said, "I told my fiancé, 'I may sleep in it. I might wear it the next day.' It's really beautiful. I know that every bit of his energy and heart went into making sure that I liked it."
