Ree Drummond is showing off her daughter’s official bridal portraits.
The 56-year-old Pioneer Woman took to her official website on Thursday, July 31 to post photos of her daughter Paige in her wedding dress more than two months after she and her groom David Andersen said “I do” during a ceremony in Oklahoma on May 17.
Drummond noted that the wedding still “feels like” it happened “a week or two ago.”

“We all had a blast! What a happy day. (And I still have lobster mac and cheese leftovers in my freezer, but that’s another story for another time.),” she wrote.
The Food Network star said that she and Paige, 25, have been sifting through “a million photos of the wedding day itself.” However, she added that she “wanted to interrupt our regular wedding day programming to share this photo album of Paige’s official bridal portraits, which she had taken in Dallas awhile back.”
“I love the photos. They capture Paige’s personality and vibe really perfectly, and she looks like herself,” she wrote.
Drummond explained that Paige decided to take the special photos in Texas since it would differentiate them from wedding-day pics taken at her parents ranch.
“I think it was a great call,” she said about the decision.
In the photos, Paige posed wearing her Lela Rose strapless gown with a train and a lace-edged veil that trailed behind her in a garden. She carried a colorful bouquet of flowers, including peach roses and lilac orchids.
The bride had a radiant smile on her face and showed off her engagement ring in one close-up photo from the shoot. She finished off her look with a diamond bracelet and dangling diamond earrings.
Drummond joyfully covered her daughter’s wedding, sharing photos of herself in her fuchsia mother-of-the-bride dress and her “messy hip grandma updo,” which she referred to as the “best” ever.
Paige and Andersen got engaged in August 2024. They first got together in July 2023, and she documented their love story in a blog post on Drummond’s website.

“They’ve always trusted me to choose a good guy,” she gushed about her parents in the post, noting that her husband perfectly fit the bill.
In another blog update, Paige knew that getting married at her family home was going to be the right decision, saying that it was truly one of the prettiest places, and it’s so close to my heart.”
Notably, she discussed her and Andersen’s decision not to see each other in their wedding-day finery until she walked down the aisle.
“I wanted to have that big moment of seeing him and him seeing me when I walked down the aisle,” she reflected. “I wanted it to be really special and emotional.”
After they tied the knot, Paige and Andersen hosted a “disco rodeo”-themed afterparty at Drummond’s P-Town Pizza in Pawhuska, Okla.
