'My mother has always been my best friend and there was no way we weren't going to share our love and celebrate with the biggest supporter and cheerleader in my life.
'When you are living so in the moment, so in the present, it is so important to have beauty and love and happiness around you. This time we had flower girls and dogs and more wonderful friends join us.

The couple exchanged vows at Napoleon House in the French Quarter.
The venue got its name as it was once offered as a place of refuge for Napoleon Bonaparte during his exile from France.
The Emmy nominee told people seeing the dress for the first time made her cry 'because it was so beautiful.'
Garbage lead singer Shirley Manson officiated the ceremony and the couple exchanged their own vows.
Among the 76 guests who witnessed the ceremony were Mad Men creator Matt Weiner, Good Girls co-stars Retta and Mae Whitman along with designer Christian Siriano.
After the ceremony, The Buccaneers star and her new husband indulged in the New Orleans tradition of a second line, leading their guests on a jazzy parade on the streets carrying parasols and umbrellas.
The reception included a sit-down dinner filled with decadent fare that included steak and shrimp and grits, with muffuletta for a late-night snack.
In lieu of a wedding cake, they chose individual Bananas Foster for their guests, flambéed for each guest right at the table. Bananas Foster is the Solar Opposites actress' favorite dessert.
